We had an article on this software/company from 2007 until this August, when it was PRODded on the basis of a notability concern. The current form was then submitted as a draft and languished in AfC for a while. Although there is coverage in local press and some other sources, I don't think the company meets WP:CORP, but at the request of the creator I've moved the draft to mainspace and nominated it for deletion to get a wider consensus. – Joe (talk) 21:03, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

- Keep: Yes, there is local press on the company because it's based out of Orlando so it's covered by Orlando media because it's a major tech company in Orlando. It's also written about in Georgia, California, Philadelphia, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Las Vegas. The company is also featured in national publications like Inc. 5000, TechRepublic, ITBriefcase, ZDNET, and NetworkWorld.com, as well as industry specific publications like CMSCritic and CMSWire, not to mention being listed on the Amazon Web Services Marketplace. —comment added by mattmclaren (talk • contribs) 21:40, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- KEEP: Mike here from CMS Critic, we've covered Solodev for a long time, they are not only a worldwide company with an established CMS, they also recently won an award from us based on our readers choice as Best Cloud CMS. While I understand Wikipedia's desire to reduce spammy pages, this simply isn't one of them. I'd be happy to discuss further if required. —comment added by Cmscritic (talk • contribs) 23:03, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- KEEP: I don't really see how notability is even an issue here. I'm in DevOps so I think I can speak to the notability of enterprise software. This company is a long term Amazon Web Services Partner and first web content management system built for AWS, they're an Inc. 5000 multi-million dollar software company, they're competing with WordPress, Sitecore, Sitefinity, and doing well according to their revenues in Inc. 5000. Much smaller web content management systems are on Wikipedia. I say Keep.—comment added by Webdevops (talk) 00:13, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
