The result was delete. The one "keep" opinion is clearly at odds with community practice: The notability guidelines are routinely applied to old articles.  Sandstein  15:24, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Delete Despite 44 references in the article itself, none meet the criteria for establishing notability. The articles either discuss/review the products and not the company (fails CORPDEPTH) or are based on announcements/PR/quotations/interviews with company sources (fails ORGIND). Overall, fails GNG and WP:NCORP. [Edit: the company was acquired by Zagg in 2016 but I don't see a lot in this article that could be merged].  HighKing++ 17:17, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep The notability guidelines have been changed since the article's creation. I would not consider new guidelines on this to apply to articles created before that date. Daylen (talk) 19:59, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

 * delete blatant advertisement and obvious subject of heavy promotional editing, likely UPE. See here. If somebody wants to create an actual encyclopedia article on this company they can. This should be nuked. yes NCORP applies to everything. There is no "grandfathering". Jytdog (talk) 20:25, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - Actually, someone did create an actual encyclopedia article on it - that person being me - however, the issue here is that it has been turned into a promotion-fest since that time. It's sad when a company is notable enough that someone decides to write about it, then editors with a likely COI come along and ruin it. I am kind of conflicted here as the company is notable (just three but there are many more). The problem I see is that the current version could likely be speedied based on WP:NOT. With that being said, they (anyone adding the promotional tone) made their own bed and I'll abstain from voting and leave it up to the rest of the community to decide the article's fate. I won't be heartbroken if deleted. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:17, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes I noticed that this happened. I am sorry that your work was perverted. Jytdog (talk) 16:49, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Not a big deal, but it does make me wonder sometimes if I should even concentrate on company articles anymore. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:56, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
