Speedy was declined basing on fact it's "Major company" and I am quoting. I didn't find any sources supporting the claim. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 10:13, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

- Delete as entirely trivial and unconvincing with clear WP:NOT materials, enough said since it's clear this is all that it's planned for. SwisterTwister talk 03:58, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- Do NOT delete as the list of all major companies can be found from here (http://www.taust.ee/top/2015/) and Thorgate is the largest in Python in Estonia (http://www.taust.ee/top/2015/?limit=50&sort=turnover&page=185). Meriloi (talk) 15:43, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Meriloi: If this company is so big, there should be plenty of coverage in mainstream estonian media. Could you please list few (eg. 3) such sources? My search found nothing so far. Pavlor (talk) 16:13, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Pavlor: 1) It news from the biggest business newspaper Äripäev: http://www.ituudised.ee/uudised/2016/09/20/algas-python-codeclubi-4-hooaeg <- it's clearly stated here that Thorgate is indeed the largest Python agency in Estonia. 2) the largest business magazine in Estonia: http://www.director.ee/scrum-jt-agiilsed-tarkvara-arendusmeetodid/. 3) One of the most well-known IT news site in Estonia: http://geenius.ee/veebimajutuse-blogi/thorgatei-disainer-stefan-hiienurm-raagib-heast-disainist-ning-toob-eestist-kolm.

- @Meriloi: Thanks! I read these articles only via Google translate, so take my notes with caution: First one is only about event sponsored by Thorgate, not much about company itself; second article is much longer and seems to have content about Thorgate, but my comprehension is too weak to judge this one; third article is blog post by company employee = primary source not suitable for estabilishing notability. However, there is clearly claim of notability (as you wrote: "largest Python agency in Estonia") - too bad we don´t have good English sources. Pavlor (talk) 17:11, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete: "one of the largest Python (programming language) and Django (web framework) development agencies in Estonia" with 25 employees is hardly a claim of notability or significance. An unremarkable company going about its business. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:46, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- Do NOT delete: Python is a significant programming language. Thorgate is the biggest company dealing with Python/Django in Estonia. Please provide references if you find any larger companies dealing with Python/Django in Estonia.
