Scala, Inc

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete - The company is not notable as well as their Software. It is only an excessive advertising article. Mediatemple (talk) 14:35, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: Dating back to the 1980s, Scala inc's software has used in many different scenarios by many different companies to provide public information signage. Their profile includes Rabobank, IKEA, Bloomberg Television, Burger King, T-Mobile, Virgin Megastores, Disneyland Resort Paris, McDonald's, Warner Bros., Shell, Esso, Ericsson and The Life Channel. The software is also used in airports. Other product lines have been used to produce captions and credit rolls by video/television production companies worldwide. This makes this company very notable. Although improvements can be made, especially in adding citations, the tone of the article is generally encyclopeadic. Only one user has so far suggested deletion, with one other user seconding it without making comment as to why. Peteb16 (talk) 14:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. --  role player 15:08, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Blatant vanispamcruftisement lacking independent reliable sources to verify notability. &mdash; 00:25, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, not perfect, but asserts notability, has reliable references, and otherwise seems like a good start class article. --Jza84 | Talk  19:19, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * COMMENT Isn't it uncanny, that --Jza84 | Talk  comes from the same location and has the same degree (BA) then Peteb16? I guess, that at least one of their (his?) votes must be striked through so. Mediatemple (talk) 15:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. Article argues for notability and gives a few references.  As per Jza84, it could use some improvement.  I will also note that the nominator's limited contributions to Wikipedia have centered around getting this page deleted & getting Media Temple deleted.  Due to the related nature of these companies, I hope that there is no WP:COI. --Karnesky (talk) 02:14, 12 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment There is no relation between Scala Inc. and Mediatemple Inc. Last one is a Webhoster, the other one is a Software manufacturer! There is no reason to suspect a WP:COI Mediatemple (talk) 08:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep - company has been the subject of some limited coverage in reliable secondary sources. The depth of coverage is a bit thin but on balance it appears enough to narrowly meet the criteria of the notability guideline for companies. Euryalus (talk) 10:22, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
