U-blox

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No claim of notability, no sources besides their own website. A Google search turned up nothing useful. I feel this fails Wikipedia's notability guideline for corporations. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 04:05, 6 August 2014 (UTC)


 * delete Article was created in 2008 by user:Aliciamontoya u-blox, who no longer edits, and never edited any other article. Article was edited throughout 2008 by user:Cheerdown, who no longer edits, never edited any other article, and used an edit summary describing u-blox as 'our company', and one talking about 'our copyrighted logo'. Since 2009 the article had been edited by user:Carlfenger (who has edited no other article since he started editing this one, and has used edit summaries attributing his edits to u-blox) and user:195.34.89.245 (which is owned by u-blox). The only other signifigant contribution to this article, ever, was a single edit by user:Cheeseland (the only edit, ever, by that user). Obvious long-term case of abusing Wikipedia for promotional purposes.
 * The only coverage I could find on the internet was brief company profiles on investment sites and industry association sites (of which u-blox is a member), and press releases linked from those sites. None of this goes to notability. Fails WP:CORP and WP:GNG. Revent talk 04:38, 6 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Non-notable company fails to meet corporate notability threshold due to lack of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Borderline promotional given the user name of the creator. Philg88 ♦talk 06:32, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
