Tally Solutions Ltd
Bangalore-based Accounting software company that is one of two or three giants, and probably the leader of those, in its home market. Numbers among its customers half a dozen illustrious names including two auto companies, the Reserve Bank of India, and the Indian software giant Infosys. Fairly well known in the UK market, also sells into the Middle East and Far East.

I undeleted this a couple of days ago after what I regarded as an inadequate AfD: Articles_for_deletion/Tally_(accounting). The reason to delete was that it looked like an ad and the company had less than 500 google hits. Well that's silly but the article did need overhauling, which I've done.

I'm relisting this because there seems to be some concern about my unusual action in resurrecting a deleted article.


 * Obviously keep. We don't delete articles about this kind of company without a very good reason.   Wikipedia isn't some silly bloody game, it's an encyclopedia. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 03:26, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. KrazyCaley 03:54, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Tony Sidaway, though the article could some more editing/NPOV. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-20 03:56Z 
 * Delete as not encyclopedic. Article did get a nice couple of paragraphs in an eleven page article in Wired ten years ago... but anything else?  I'm not seeing evidence that is satisfies WP:CORP, and the use of the words "The company claims to have..." are sending up some serious WP:V warning flags to me. -  brenneman (t) (c)  05:26, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: maybe you should check out the definition of encyclopedic, since I suspect that you are confusing it with the oft-misued term notable. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 09:55, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * They won the PCQuest User's Choice award for Accounting software ten years in succession. I think they won the 2004 award, too, making it eleven. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:47, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Easily important enough to keep. Choalbaton 08:01, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: even I've heard of this one. Why do I get the impression that some people like using afd rather than cleanup and npov? —Phil | Talk 09:55, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep no reason not to -Doc ask? 14:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Doc, because he's my first edit conflict :) InkSplotch(talk) 14:23, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * And because I don't think WP:N == Popular.  InkSplotch(talk) 14:26, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per brenneman. Take it to yellowikis if need be. &mdash;  F REAK OF N URxTURE  ( [ TALK ] )  15:02, Jan. 20, 2006
 * Keep. Clearly satisfies WP:CORP #1. --Fastfission 17:05, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
