Cinterion Wireless Modules

Spam and copyvio. Previous deletion attempt contested. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, if it's got a csd tag on it, I see no reason why to bring it to AfD. RockManQ ^(talk) 23:08, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now someone has added content. RockManQ ^(talk) 23:09, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Speedy this per WP:ADVERT. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:09, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete...fails WP:Notability (companies). RockManQ ^(talk) 23:12, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to Keep based on sources. Good job with it Eastmain. RockManQ ^(talk) 23:44, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I got rid of the copyvio and added some references. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can withdraw my Delete request due to the attentions of Eastmain, as he has sourced and removed copyvio. But what is the notability? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:28, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I brought my deletion request from delete to weak delete; I would like to know though: can you understand French. How did you translate the foreign source? RockManQ ^(talk) 23:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I agree with RockManQ that the article fails WP:Notability (companies), as the only English-language reference is not freely verifiable - http://www.telecom.paper.nl/news/article.aspx?id=217207&nr= says "The article you requested is only available to subscribers". — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:31, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

English: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], and more. I was asking about specific notability... and if that can be shown, I'll happily agree to keep. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:40, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- References don't have to be in English or available for free to be valid. The preview of the Telecom Paper article is enough to verify that Telecom Paper ran an article about the company, and the French-language article can be read using http://translate.google.com at the following URL: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.itrmanager.com%2Farticles%2F78126%2Fsiemens-rend-liberte-division-modules-fil.html&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=fr&tl=en -- Eastmain (talk) 23:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. RockManQ ^(talk) 23:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Heck... if I could find sources then the artcle can be salvaged. Even Google News] has lots to offer. Since it has coverage in reliable sources that speak toward its notability, its a matter of cleanup and not deletion. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:45, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am working on expanding the article. Much of the coverage in GoogleNews consists of press releases (which are traditionally not held to count for notability) but there is sufficent coverage elsewhere to justify inclusion. Icewedge (talk) 23:50, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True... but all one need do is find the pearl in the oyster. Luck. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:52, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
