The result of the debate was ambiguous.

I count 3 clear "delete" votes to 2 "keep" votes.

Doing my own investigation, I can find little evidence of the company other than their own website and a few product reviews. I was unable to verify their claims to be a "leading" anything. They do not release financial statements, etc. I did find evidence that they are part of the Canopy Group which appears to be a venture capital company. According to SEC filings, the venture capital firm as a whole is worth about $5 million. We don't have firm guidelines for the line where companies should be included or not but based on the evidence available, I think that Maxstream currently falls well below it. I'll add my own "delete" vote to the list.

That brings the decision to 4 to 2 which just barely qualifies for deletion. This decision should not be seen as precedent against re-creation of the article if/when it goes public or otherwise becomes more notable than the current evidence suggests. Rossami (talk) 23:29, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
