Article does not support notability of subject per WP:CORP. Ghits appear to be trivial, not amounting to the "significant coverage" required. ukexpat (talk) 18:48, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

RDI is a huge part of the IT community up in Alaska Per capita it would be a 35,000 employee company in the United States. Wikipedia already has an existing list of Alaskan based businesses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Companies_based_in_Alaska

RDI is the major vendor for the State of Alaska and the oil companies, so there is plenty of news discussion at a local level about the products that RDI develops and its impact on the community. RDI is also a no bid IT services provider for the state of Texas a topic which is always in the news.

RDI has been featured in the Alaska Journal of Commerce and Alaska Business Monthly.

While I agree that RDI is not a national or international company, I think it meets the guidelines based on the community in which it operates (Alaska)

 * Strong Delete COI spam by employee/company owner. borderline notability, suggest deletion until such time as a neutral party can write a NPOV article. βcommand 21:14, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - As I've told the author on the article's talk page, and at WP:COIN, the article needs coverage to show notability. The "per capita" claim above is some kind of weird voodoo math, the company claims less than 60 employees in the sole "reference" the article has (the reference, by the way, is a site where a business can add its own information to a directory). There are a number of hits in Gnews for the company but they're all trivial mentions, either press releases or general notices about who was hired to the company. The fact that Alaska is sparsely populated doesn't affect whether or not the subject meets WP:N or WP:CORP. --  At am a  頭
 * Delete, fits the profile, non-referenced article about a non-consumer tech or computing business. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:54, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
