Skytap

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There's enough to show considerable concerns, not only in its current information or sources but then also the history of its consistency, because it's also still a concern in our non-negotiable policies which state the current sources as shown are unacceptable, being only announcements, financial listings, press releases, mentions or similar, wherever published, and because our simplest standards themselves echo what's needed in genuine substance, not simply what one may consider significant by assertion alone. Similar, there's no automatic inherited notability from anything or anyone and to quote WP:CORPDEPTH: [Unacceptable sources are]: Simple announcements or statements, press releases, mentions, anything where the company talks about itself or was published by or the company, wherever" so attempted searches found exactly this, it was clearly labeled local business announcements, press releases, financial statements, PR trade publications focusing in advertised contents. Even if there was conceived signs of Skytap's notability, that alone wouldn't outweigh our main policies for companies since it's what bases Wikipedia itself. In that case, our policies themselves show it must then be restarted to show the suitable signs. The above is the given basis advanced for deletion in February, and the history shows it's been unchanged therefore its current existence applies for deletion itself.

 * Keep. I'm not even going to pretend to understand the deletion rationale above, but Skytap has received plenty of coverage, including in multiple books on cloud computing and testing. It's clearly significant enough to be included:, , , , , , , , , . --Michig (talk) 08:58, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Procedural close. No offense meant to the Zppix but that nomination is incomprehensible word salad. Wikipedia is a collaborative project and you need to be able to communicate in clear, concise English. Editors shouldn't have to resort to scrying to participate in an AfD discussion.
