Varolii

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The article is authored by someone who self-identifies as the "web marketing manager for Varolii Corporation". The article does cite a few claims to fame so it's not speedyable under A7 and is reasonably well-written and not spammy, so it is not speedyable under G11. But the references given in this article are three press releases and a trivial mention in a news article. From searching around, I find a lot of press releases, but that's about it - I don't see any evidence of meeting WP:CORP. -- B (talk) 21:51, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - Coverage about their planned IPO, coverage about their name change, and coverage of their non-IPO indicate the company meets notability with coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of teh company. Mind you, I ahd to go through a lot of press releases to find these. -- Whpq (talk) 17:12, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Weak keep - Whpq found some good refs above, and looking through the search I did I saw some similar mentions that seem to indicate there's some outside coverage of this company. The article needs to be edited, it has some marketing flavour to it, especially in the last couple of sections. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:40, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I've tagged the section as reading like an advert. It certainly needs some severe editting as you've pointed out. -- Whpq (talk) 20:58, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep As written above, it seems like this company is notable as there are several business news / journals that have reported on this company. It can certainly be improved. and  Tgv8925 (talk) 05:54, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
