OpenMarket Inc.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails the notability standard WP:COMPANY because OpenMarket has not been the subject of sustained coverage in independent sources. There's tons of press releases and announcements out there in various PR news services like Wireless News or Health & Beauty Close-Up, but when you take away press releases there's nothing left to justify an article. Other coverages is brief notices of things like mergers and acquisitions, e.g. "Open Market to Acquire Folio Corporation". Information Today, Vol. 14, No. 4, April 1997. Per WP:ROUTINE, this is not the in-depth, independent coverage necessary to meet WP:GNG. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:22, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree with Xxanthippe. Besides, if there is no more information than that it is irrelevant. User talk:BenoitHoog 15:48, 3 April 2014 (GMT+1).
