No evidence of notability for this company. Only external link is to their website, hence no evidence of multiple non-trivial coverage in third-party sources to meet WP:CORP. Waltontalk 16:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Do not delete. This company is a large international organization with thousands of employees. The reason they're not well covered in third party sources is that their focus is on Business to Business sales. The kind of promotion or advertising done is therefore rarely seen by the general public. Additionally, there is only one external link because the page is complying with external link guidelines. Any other links would likely be considered spam.--Analogue Kid 16:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- keep and cleanup to make it less ad-speaky. There are over 500,000 Ghits for "sterling commerce", even removing all of their international websites and Wikipedia mirrors. The death of their CEO made CNet: [1]. There are lots of other third party hits: [2], [3], [4], [5]. Corvus cornix 16:55, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - It's a subsidiary of AT&T, and AT&T is certainly notable. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 19:56, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Nomination withdrawn. Request speedy closure per WP:SK. Although notability is not inherited (hence it isn't notable for being an AT&T subsidiary), the sources provided by Corvus cornix above adequately demonstrate notability. Waltontalk 17:16, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
