Entirely promotional and fails WP:NORG. Amigao (talk) 00:10, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- Comment.@Amigao: MarketFirst is a software not a company. It's one of many software programs made by the CDC Software Corporation. WP:NORG only somewhat applies via WP:PRODUCT; but as we don't have an article on the company its not all that relevant to this discussion. WP:GNG is the standard for software programs. Note that many sources do not include CDC when referring to this program and just call it MarketFirst. Best.4meter4 (talk) 00:44, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

- Keep - Don't really see a valid reason to delete. Category:Marketing software indicates that articles on software are acceptable on Wikipedia. — Maile (talk) 01:42, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

- Keep - This is software seems has been through a few ownership changes from when it was a standalone company and clearly has been just a software package for the last 20 years. I recently updated the article to remove a lot of promotional material and clean it up. It appears mostly defunct, but seems to still be supported as legacy software package by its owner. Given the number of references, I believe it meets notability, if only from a historic perspective. Sargdub (talk) 01:25, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
