Microlink
At first I thought it was a transwiki candidate as a dicdef, but then I saw the 4th "entry". It's a very popular term apparently with 2 million results, however, a lot of them don't seem to be for this Baltic States IT company. Feels too much like WP:SPAM. Metros232 13:44, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki without entry 4. --AlexDW 17:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep entry 4, transwiki rest. As I am from Estonia, I can confirm that Microlink is an important company worthy of an article, and this entry probably isn't spam. --Rain74 19:09, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Relister's comment: As it stands the dicdef/transwiki issue appears to have been solved, as the article is now purely about the company. However, there is not even a stub here at the moment (read WP:STUB - a stub must assert notability and be a starting point for expansion, this just says where it is and when it was founded). Does the company meet WP:CORP? --Sam Blanning(talk) 13:04, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I've expanded it to a stub level. As a Baltic company, there are plenty of non-English sources, I recommend everyone google searching limit their search to English language webpages.  The company English homepage just offers links to the three former subsidiaries homepages.  The company was acquired and broken up into national subsidiaries in 2005.  It certainly was notable under the multiple press coverage test of WP:CORP, I don't know if it will be much longer now that it is broken up.  As an IT services company, there are a number of web-pages out there that they developed.  This search tries to filter them out and get only English language results, getting the hits down to about 44,400 with 622 unique in the first 1,000. GRBerry 02:50, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
