This unsourced article was taken to AFD in 2006, and was somehow kept. I'm bringing it here again because in the intervening 7 years, it still has not had a single reference added. I searched for sources and was not able to find any, so I think this fails the general notability guideline and should be deleted. In your searches, do note that there are several companies and products called 'AlphaCom' - we're looking for the terminal emulator. MrOllie (talk) 10:44, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Normally I would try to merge somewhere, such as Terminal emulator which needs help of its own, but not much to merge. There is also List of terminal emulators which is just a list of links without any citations to speak of. Also thought perhaps widening to the company, but again if you search for the company named "Omnicom" you get all sorts of hits for the large advertising holding company Omnicom Group but do not think they are related. I was especially amused by one of the bullets: "OEM ready". Saying something is "X ready" of course is a euphemism in the industry saying it is not X yet. But the one press release from the company on its web site says there was an OEM agreement in 2005. So perhaps this might have been thought to be on the verge of notability back in 2006, but it does not meet the requirements now. W Nowicki (talk) 17:07, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - I can find no coverage of this software product. There's lots of terminal emulators out there. This is just another one. -- Whpq (talk) 16:22, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
