Promotional, fails NPOV and mainly relies of primary sources afiliated with the subject ''TheChampionMan1234 02:36, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. While the current version is promotional, it is salvageable, and notability doesn't seem to be an issue. --  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 03:09, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Out of the 4 references, 3 are newspaper articles. I do not see how most of the sources used to write this article are affiliated to the subject.  The content and headlines used in this article are very similar to the content and headlines used in articles of other technology companies such as Apple Inc., Dell and Belkin. Obviously, there is less information available about StarTech.com as it is a much smaller company. -- Copypasteguru - timed 11:28pm, 1 September (EST)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Copypasteguru (talk • contribs)
 * Keep - while large parts of the article are unsourced, or sourced by primary sources, the two non primary references, and other sources such as this and this help establish notability. NB: This was originally tagged as a G11 speedy but declined. Also deleting based on NPOV is only valid if removing every non neutral statement from the article would leave it blank. -- Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   12:01, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
