Nicto
advertising for business not claiming notability; author removed speedy tag without explanation NawlinWiki 22:46, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete One relevant hit in the first page of google . Hard to tell beyond that. Not in top 100,000 . I see no notability here. --Crossmr 22:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment While it may well be reasonable to delete this, surely our only (or even primary) measure of notability is not internet hits, through alexa or otherwise? Falcon 22:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * In this day and age if a business is remotely notable, especially one that has business that involves the internet, it should be showing up with some prescence on google. With low traffic and no google prescence it doesn't spell notability. --Crossmr 23:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment Sorry, I am new in this “wikipedian world”. I am the author of the Nicto page and I didn’t knew exactly how it works when I wrote the description. I apologize and I understand your concern with the deletion of this page. By doing some research on a few of our competitor, I discovered they were presenting there company on Wikipedia. So I decided to post a small description of the company I am working for. A few hours after, I noticed the “Speedy tag” on the Nicto page and I decided to start over from the beginning with a shorter description without doing any advertisement … just explaining what we do and what is the major point of differentiation between Nicto and the other companies from the Wikipedia Commercial product list. The traffic on the official Nicto web site is low because it is a new service and the web site have only been running since a few months. Can you tell me what I should do to keep the Nicto page running on Wikipedia ? Write a better presentation of the company from a more neutral position ? Increase the presence of Nicto on Google ? Any other suggestion ? Thanks
 * For your company to justify an article it would require notability in some form. A popular website, lots of google traffic, major notable clients, etc. Good summary, history etc make a nice article, but wikipedia is not a collection of every piece of trivia on the planet. --Crossmr 19:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong delete. No independent evidence of notability. Unsourced claims. Who are the competitors - perhaps we should look at their articles, also? BlueValour 17:10, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. There may well be many competitors who have articles here that should also be deleted. Seems every IT company tries getting their name here. Most do not meet WP:CORP and neither does this one. Fan1967 21:33, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable enough. See listing as finalist at http://radio-canada.ca/radio/techno/categorie.asp?whichpage=3&pagesize=6&cat=219 See also lots of listings for parent company Intégrale MBD TruthbringerToronto 00:54, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * One of 51 finalists at a Quebec tech conference seems less than overwhelming. I don't find much on Google (most results for "nicto" also contain the words "klaatu berada"). Fan1967 03:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
