All sources on the article currently are weak. Either not independent or not WP:RS. Web search turned up nothing for referencing this article. Fails to meet either WP:GNG or WP:CORP. Gtwfan52 (talk) 06:31, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Keep I consider reference 3 from the theage.com.au an independent reliable source and is reasonably in-depth about the company and its products' impact on the Australian market. But unfortunately it is the only independent RS I have seen for this company. Unless more sources can be found, the article slips below the WP:GNG threshold and unfortunately should be deleted. Update: Thanks to a good find by The-Pope, we have a second independent RS that goes into enough depth to for the article to pass notability guidelines Mark viking (talk) 19:30, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Why are people surprised that there aren't strong online sources for a company (with multiple names) that operated before the internet existed? There is a dedicated story on them from Your Computer magazine (now clearly listed as Ref 5), so coupled with the more recent Age article, that's enough for me.

Keep refs make GNG. Rich Farmbrough, 20:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC).[reply]
Keep There are some fairly notable publications that cover them Reuters report, Boston Globe, San Jose Mercury, etc. Mkdw ^talk 17:24, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
