 * Keep, major chip mfr, 39 hits on Google News current stories. over 2000 results on GNA. Please use primarysources next time, and at least give Google a whirl before wasting our time. --Dhartung | Talk 23:48, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice - The article reads like an ad, and the only independent source it cites is in referene to the merger that created the company. That does not qualify as notable under WP:CORP.  If it is not to be deleted, this article needs to be rewritten using independent sources. --EMS | Talk 06:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, the article sounds like an ad because the original source (by the original "author") was lifted directly from the company's about page. The article is in need of serious work (I did a fair amount, in tracking down the info for the infobox and finding its origin), but it's worthwhile, if for no other reason than the fact that it's featured heavily in the music video for Such Great Heights.  Dhartung also has a point, since it is a major manufacturer of chips for cell phones and other wireless communications systems.  — Mustang dvs 18:52, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Major chip manufacturer. Component of the S&P 600 and Russell 2000 stock market indices, a qualifier under WP:CORP - "3. The company's or corporation's share price is used to calculate stock market indices.4 Being used to calculate an index that simply comprises the entire market is excluded." - When an article of a notable company looks like an ad, it means it needs to be changed, not deleted.  Everything verifiable. Even a CURRENT Google News search brings up multiple articles. --Oakshade 07:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
