Keep - It is not appropriate for nominators to speculate about notability. Notability research should be done WP:BEFORE nomination. Subject appears to be notible - see [1] and [2] for instance. ~KvnG 02:49, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi KvnG but is it enough? The 1st link you shared is only a passing reference that it is sued by MPEG LA and the 2nd reference you have mentioned give more info about "ApeXtreme" rather than Apex. The only thing it says about Apex is that "Unfortunately, Apex wasn't able to bring it to market". That's all. Please mention if any references are present which has WP:DEPTH. I might be wrong if the references provided by you suffice Coredepth or not. So let the AFD run its course so that others can jugde.Thank You.Lakun.patra (talk) 05:26, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I believe it is enough. The links I provided were examples. I found a total 230 news hits on Apex Digital at HighBeam Research. I assumed based on this and the language in your deletion reason that you had not researched notability before nominating. Was this a bad assumption? ~KvnG 16:45, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Sources aplenty: New York Times, Wired, LA Times, CNN... May be worth noting that it was the best selling DVD player in the USA (don't know how far its reach was) for a while, but that's just me saying that -- the sources speak for themselves. PS: These were available in the first several pages of google hits. --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 19:05, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawing Nomination as several references are there to prove that the article is notable.Lakun.patra (talk) 11:35, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
