Continues to fail notability standard WP:COMPANY because OpenMarket has not been the subject of sustained coverage in independent sources. This re-creation of the article after the previous deletion is based on "new information" but what it consists of is more press releases, and a large number of non-notable awards. The way we know these awards are non-notable is the total lack of coverage of the awards in reputable, mainstream sources. Instead, the awards are announced in press releases and obscure blogs.

 * To say this article quotes obscure blogs is a massive overstatement. It references some of the key mobile industry publications all of which have independent editorial teams. Mobile Entertainment has a monthly readership of 100,000 unique views, Mobile Marketing has 40,000 unique views per month and Mobile Marketer as 17,000 page views per day. The industry awards OpenMarket has received are well known in the mobile industry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitchelljamesfox (talk • contribs) 17:16, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
 * This is this press release.
 * This is this press release
 * This is a quick paraphrase of this press release.
 * Etc. ad nauseam. WP:ROUTINE defines virtually every link. Routine coverage, in the form of 50 to 100 word blog posts that are direct transcriptions of company announcements, is not substantive coverage. It fails to establish notability. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:09, 21 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. All or virtually all of the sourcing is to press reports, or to coverage either in Mobile Entertainment or Mobile Marketing, neither one of which I've ever heard of, even as a computer professional. If Mobile Entertainment or Mobile Marketing passed the sniff test at WP:RSN I'd withdraw this !vote. — Brianhe (talk) 19:39, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
