My PROD was removed with the sole basis that the WashingtonPost suggests notability yet I listed my concerns and my concerns were all listed extensively and clearly, my own searches had not found anything better and the coverage listed is still only either PR, trivial coverage or company-supplied information, this should have never actually been accepted at AfC since it had been deleted as G11 (regardless if it was restored because of a technicality with a user involved), because this was still not what we would expect as substance and I'm not finding anything else actually suggestive of better. Examined searches at NetworkWorld, Forbes (even then, this one has become quite noticeably PR-navigated as a "news" source") and NYTimes, found nothing. Once we become a PR webhost, given this article was started as a PR campaign, which is currently not uncommon at all, given what we've seen, we're damned as an encycopedia and simply a churnalism source as several news sources have become now, in exchange for capital gains and advertising.

Comment and analysis - I'll note both of these sources are included in the current article as it is, and they are both trivial since the first one simply mentions the company itself a few times, and then the second never actually means this company and instead simply focuses with the subject of surveillance security.

delete sources both in article, proffered by Northamerica1000 and in a basic BEFORE are entirely unconvincing - apart from the churnalism, the passing category reviews are the best coverage, and I'm not convinced by a couple of category reviews - David Gerard (talk) 07:58, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- an unremarkable software package and a WP:PROMO article. This is a product brochure in the form of a WP article. No RS to establish notability can be found. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:55, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
