 * Keep: The article content needs work, but OutSystems is noteworthy in its market (Reuters, Reuters, TechRepublic), and in its country as you can see by the amount of articles originally written in Portuguese (OutSystems in the news). Plus, I would be sad to see only very large companies beeing described in wikipedia. It is not uncommon for me to look for information about companies of similar or even smaller size, like some that appear in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Video_game_companies_of_the_United_Kingdom.

 * Arguing that smaller (and therefore lesser notable) companies should be on Wikipedia is an argument for changing Wikipedia's guidelines, not for keeping this article. "Other stuff exists" is not an argument to keep this one. Haakon (talk) 20:37, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plenty of coverage in mainstream Portuguese media - Público (via Lusa), Expresso, Diário de Notícias, Sapo. Gr1st (talk) 18:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I should also note, however, that the Reuters sources given above are both press releases and therefore do not confer notability. Still a keep from me, however. Gr1st (talk) 19:18, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Is this company only notable in Portugal for serving a Portugese market? From a global perspective, this company is not notable. Miami33139 (talk) 20:16, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The last time I checked, Wikipedia's notability guidelines didn't require the subject of an article to be notable "from a global perspective", but rather to be the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

 * Keep This company is notable internationally. It has been included in two Gartner Magic Quadrants. In particular, OutSystems was rated the most visionary company in Gartner's "Magic Quadrant for Application Infrastructure for SOA Composite Application Projects". It has also been covered by other international analyst firms like the Butler Gruop, Ovum, Forrester and MWD Advisors, as well as independent sources like Techrepublic and Atos Origin. All these external sources were included in the original version of this article. OutSystems has an international presence and doesn't only serve the Portuguese market.
