The result was keep and rewrite. The article is indeed overly promotional and kay contain WP:COPYVIOs as well. A complete rewrite is needed, I may do some serious chopping after completing this close to remove spam and possible copyvios. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:52, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article has one reference, was written one year ago by a WP:COI editor and little to no progress since May 16, 2009. The article would require a major rewrite to be acceptable to Wikipedia standards. See the talk page for an agreeing editor. Talktome^(Intelati) 17:23, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete It does receive some mention in the press [1][2][3], but the article needs to be rewritten. It reads like a company promotional release. Eudemis (talk) 00:49, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Sorry, but those links alone are enough for a pass on WP:ORG - they come from reliable sources and discuss the subject in significant detail. Obviously the article needs a rewrite, but that's what it needs, not deletion. Ravenswing 21:28, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The very description of this business is both unambiguous advertising --- ....provider of intelligent software solutions for forecasting, planning and optimising Next-Generation Networks and Services --- and patent nonsense: does that sentence carry enough meaning to enable anyone else to restate it neutrally? All it means to me that it has something to do with computers and networks, and their networks are Next Generation! When the text is this irredeemable, notability is not an issue, even if routine announcements of financing deals and other puff pieces conferred notability. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 21:32, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment IMO, your statement, "when the text is this irredeemable, notability is not an issue..." is not a valid reason for deleting an article. Perhaps you can't redeem the article, but it is highly presumptuous for you to assert that no one can. The article needs rewriting. However, if the topic is notable, the article should not be deleted. — Respectfully, HowardBGolden (talk) 19:08, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep I have a WP:COI but I agree the page content needs rewriting. Looks like a cut n paste of Aria's old marketing blurb. But, IMO, not grounds for deletion based on WP:ORG. See coverage [4] [5]. Would an NPOV rewrite, all be it by a disclosed WP:COI, be a more acceptable resolution than deletion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamespullen (talk • contribs) 13:17, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, afd is not cleanup, and there appears to be sufficient coverage in reliable sources to meet the bar of notability. --Nuujinn (talk) 16:53, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
