Uptech Computer
Was originally Prod'ed by EricR as "does not meet notability criteria in WP:CORP". Oarias moved to AfD.


 * Obvious Keep Company has been around for almost 20 years and has many branches in USA and Canada. Oarias 03:52, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete 717 Google hits ... you don't become encyclopedic just by being around for a while. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 04:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete same reason as prod. EricR 05:49, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete nn company. --Ter e nce Ong 15:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment-- I really don't get Wikipedia sometimes... A minor character from Pokemon (Perappu) gets its OWN page, but a company with probably several hundred employees doesn't?? Oarias 16:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * keep per above Perle 02:47, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete; seems like a loosely knit group of franchisees that doesn't collectively meet WP:CORP. (I mean, they all don't even use the same logo...) -- Kinu  t /c  17:37, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment -- I believe the logo I put in the article itself IS the actual logo (not sure about the tagline in the graphic however) Oarias 19:33, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, the company has been around for 20 years and sounds encyclopedic enough to be on here. Had this been some company founded yesterday, and given an article, we might have to reconsider that. - XX55XX 23:55, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Week Keep or Merge to PC Warehouse. However, I wasn't able to find a single news article. ---J.Smith 00:41, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, per XX55XX. --Snargle 03:36, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Most of the external links are to the various stores.  Is this chain really more notable then the parent company?  Fails WP:CORP. Vegaswikian 03:35, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
