 * Keep - Citations added from multiple reliable sources and working to add more, however it will take time due to fair amount of material residing offline (due to age of material). Company was defunct in 1994 yet continues to be referenced in articles as recently as 2011. Page seems to now meet notability requirement. Pjhansen (talk) 20:00, 22 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep The company merged to become Bay Netoworks thus should be separate. They were a notable #2 router company. Mike (talk) 23:30, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete - There is really no reason whatsoever to keep this as a standalone article, especially now that this company has merged into another. A brief mention in the Bay Networks will do nicely. No more than that is needed, in fact it would only serve to clutter Wikipedia and thus weaken the encyclopedia. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 04:47, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep This company was notable as a stand alone company and has plenty of references. It should remain separate from the new entity per WP:SUMMARYSTYLE. -DJSasso (talk) 12:59, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:NCORP, WP:DUE. We shouldn't merge articles on companies just because they've been acquired by another company, particularly bearing in mind the (sourced, p.11 of Network World, 1993) statement that Wellfleet was ranked the fastest-growing company in the United States by Fortune Magazine in both 1992 and 1993 ... -- Trevj (talk) 14:34, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep from nominator. This article is significantly improved.  Specifically, sources have been located and added.  My nomination rationale seems no longer valid, and I no longer support deletion.  -- No  unique  names  17:19, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
