Notability not established - despite the creator and CEO of the company "guaranteeing it". Just seems like advertising to me. noq (talk) 16:52, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep and improve, despite clear WP:COI from CEO of company in creating this article (and removing the Prod). There's a reasonable number of GNEWS hits[1] for this company in the mainstream German-language financial press (Handelsblatt, FinanzNachrichten, Austrian Press Agency, etc.) MuffledThud (talk) 19:04, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I kept the aricle short and sweet for that it is not seen as advertising (what must not be in Wikipedia) and not to create a conflict of interest.

Notability: I understand that I am not the right man to decide on that. However, S4U is active since 15 years and several thousand users in 150 mostly very large organisations are using our solutions. As MuffleThud already mentioned, there are a number of gnews about S4U.

Of course I would be happy if the article would not be deleted. Nevertheless you know the rules and regulations much better than I do.

If I can do anything to improve the article, a little hint would be appreciated.

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:42, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, unambiguous advertising: a software company that operates in the planning and budgeting market. The company’s mission is to provide technology and turnkey solutions that speeds up and reduces the costs of planning and budgeting processes. More "solution"-speak, all about how this speeds up and reduces costs. I found neither general interest sources, nor any indication of historical or technical importance. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:47, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Thinly veiled advert. No assertion of notability. That the product is sold in 150 countries is meaningless considering that anyone anywhere can buy it over the Internet. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 16:29, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, it's advertising. WP:ARTSPAM. Haakon (talk) 16:30, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
