MindTouch, Inc.

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notability company that has produced (and keeps producing) a notable product. Lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources which would indicate of its notability apart from its founders, employees and associated people events or its products. — Dmitrij D.

 * Merge with MindTouch seems sensible. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:27, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I merged everything useful before the nomination. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 16:59, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * No you didn't. There should be at least a simple one paragraph section about the company that produces MindTouch if we're going to merge it. Steven Walling &bull; talk   01:00, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge with MindTouch. There are plenty sources enough to verify the basic facts about the company and its history, separate from development of the product, but it's silly to have a separate article. Steven Walling &bull; talk   01:00, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The company has produced multiple products, so it's not at all silly to keep a well-sourced and useful article about it. Jonathunder (talk) 13:48, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * First, this company produces only one product available in several editions and in different delivery options. Second, the single "get to know" WSJ article isn't significant coverage and dosen't hint at this company's notability otherwise then via its product; thus this reference should not be used for establishing notability per WP:NCORP, as companies notability is not inherited from their products. — Dmitrij D.
