I've removed loads of unsourced information and promotional cruft from the article. Now all that's left is a stub. To write a policy-compliant article about the company, we would need to find sufficient SIGCOV by independent RSes which discusses Redwood. But I suspect that such coverage may not exist.

No matter how big or small a company is, and no matter how long it's existed, and no matter where it operates, we need such coverage. If such coverage does not exist, we cannot write an article about them, and so must delete our pitiful stub.

And so, unless you know of SIGCOV by independent RSes, please vote to "Delete".

Please note:

The company description you can view in the Bloomberg BusinessWeek Company Insight Center directory of corporations is not independent. User:Michig adds that company partners include SAP AG and Deloitte. If those companies write anything about Redwood, please assume that their words, too, are not independent.

 * It might help to look for sources in Dutch for this because a ~200 person software company will probably get national press coverage in a small country like the Netherlands. That's assuming that what they do isn't just rent-a-coder for the SAP/Deloitte, which might well be the case... Also assuming they still have some engineering in the Nethernalds, because I know of some other "Dutch" companies, for which you'd be looking in the wrong country for press coverage.

 * Comment. I've asked watchers of Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion and the WikiProject Business talk page to come here and contribute. If you insist, we can allow a bit of time for them to do so. But, in truth, nobody has ever proven that multiple suitable sources exist. So, I think, let's allow this article to be deleted for now. If someone finds multiple suitable sources (which include SIGCOV) later, they need merely contact the closing admin. He or she can then undelete it immediately.
