Fails to establish notability. Reads like and advertisement. Hammer1980 ·talk 12:45, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep I am the author of this article. This is not an advertisment, it is just some introduction and useful infomation on the S3 group, It is a massive multi-national corporation, I think it deserves a wiki page Fluid-Rock (talk) 15:27, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep with modifications Fluid-Rock's claim that this is a significant corporation is, I think, quite correct. Unfortunately, the article does read like an advertisement, and clearly lacks a neutral POV. If the advertising tone can be converted into a more neutral tone, this could be a useful article.

 * Keep We have stripped out any commentary that might be considered marketing speak. I hope it is down to bare facts from an editors perspective. Notability has been established mainly through press coverage. Published datasheets for the technology may add to the notabilty of the design completed by the corporation, but I don't want to add these links if another considers it further marketing. Hopefully this meets the criteria of those deciding so far.  ThanksFluid-Rock (talk) 10:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I checked it again, Fluid-Rock. It is clearly improved, but still not really neutral. Ad-speak phrases are still common in the article, such as "world-class technology", "highly skilled organization with a passion for technology", "innovative consumer solutions", "provides expertise across the full breadth of the value chain". These are highly subjective evaluations, not usefully verified information. Tim Ross ·talk  11:10, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete blatant advertising Mayalld (talk) 14:57, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Fair comment on "World Class Technologies" stripped back yet again. S3 Group has distinct business units that can stand together or separately.  Effort to explain the difference between these divisions by describing what each one does.  Not meant to be advertising and benchmarking against sites like Motorola, Fujitsu and Intel, seems that as a smaller less known entity we may be penalised.  Explaining what Silicon and Software Systems S3 is beneficial to users of Wikipedia Fluid-Rock (talk) 22:32, 03 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up. There are potential sources identified at the bottom. There is potential for a good article here after a rewrite. Capitalistroadster 22:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
