Keep. The site is notable, and one of the best known dynamic DNS provider. As you can see on Google Scholar, DynDNS is often cited, as the way to have a dynamic DNS address in IT and computer science articles. --Dereckson (talk) 17:53, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Bryanahughes, the AfD promoter, is a new account created only to nominate this article for deletion. --Dereckson (talk) 17:58, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Many commercial entities are listed within documents on Google Scholar. This AfD submission is purely based on the Wikipedia commercial advertising policy. Perhaps my understanding of Wikipedia's advertising policy is not accurate, however you will note discussions on this article prior to AfD submission from others that indicated it as advertising. --Bryanahughes (talk) 19:28, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep per Dereckson. Peter Karlsen (talk) 00:28, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (I guess some software parses this, my first time here.) It seems a little strange to want to delete this article entirely. There aren't many articles here about dynamic DNS providers. In fact there are only three. DynDNS is mentioned in a lot of books [1], so it seems worth including in Wikipedia. I'm not sure what is meant by the article being an advertisement. Any article about an entity advertises it. This article seems fairly factual, i.e. not empty marketing speak. I'm not sure the awards section is really necessary, but I would not delete the entire article. Tijfo098 (talk) 02:58, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Bad-faith nom by new account. —I-20 the highway 04:30, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The Notability guideline states that an organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. But this article does not explain why the company is notable and does not include the relevant citations. It is just a short history of the company with a list of services and awards.

Keep In my view the notability guideline should have less weight for an online encyclopedia than for a paper document where space is limited. NPOV and others are equally strong however. In this case there is a fair amount of useful factual information in the article, which indeed I just did find useful in researching the protocol for a networking application. The article is no worse than many others for small companies, and causes no harm, so why would you delete it? --Rhanbury (talk) 15:45, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep, unjustified AfD. --Playmobilonhishorse (talk) 03:30, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Agree with above comments. --Od1n (talk) 17:53, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (same args as Dereckson). I've been knowing this service for several years, even tho I'm french :) DarkoNeko x 18:54, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; satisfies notability as per Dereckson. Also, DynDNS access comes as part of many BT Homehubs/ Voyager routers as part of their dynamic dns solution for home users- so reasonable exposure Cheers, Jonomacdrones _(talk) 20:31, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
