PCoIP

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is a promotional article, created by a single-purpose account (User:BngWiki), about a non-notable product from a company called Teradici. Our article on the product is poorly sourced to press releases peppered with a few brief mentions in trade publications — nothing indicating "significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources." There has been a proliferation of promotional and spam articles from desktop virtualization vendors (SoThin, Virtual Bridges, MiniFrame, and 10ZiG come to mind) over the past year or so, and PCoIP is not significantly different from the others in terms of notability — it's just made it a little bit longer due to the slightly higher occurrence of brief, passing mentions after they signed an agreement a while back with VMware (which seems to have gone nowhere and was "mere short-term interest"). Bluntly put, every indication is that it's spam, created by a spammer, that's poorly sourced, and, after a careful review, simply not-notable. jæs (talk) 21:09, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Clearly violates WP:NOTE and WP:ARTSPAM. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 23:59, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:55, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. While the tone of the article may need some adjustment - the subject itself (this specific implementation of KVM-over-IP functionality) is notable - this specific implementation ("PCoIP") is utilized by many products. You will find zillion of google hits on that. Alinor (talk) 15:12, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * In the worst case it should be redirected to Desktop virtualization or KVM/IP. Alinor (talk) 15:15, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
