My original prod rationale, which I believe is still fully valid, was " _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:26, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The PROD rationale from Piotrus, taken from the article history, was: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back." —Swpb^talk 15:19, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Doh, the browser borked and ate most of my post; thank you for finishing, it, User:Swpb, and thank you User:Dylanfromthenorth for the ping. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:33, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I've pinged the nominator to come and provide a deletion rationale; I looked in the article history for the prod reason but there wasn't one for that either. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 05:30, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Although patents do not count towards establishment of notability, PCWorld and possibly ecommercebytes seem to be reliable, independent sources. —Swpb^talk 15:25, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Northamerica1000: The (unlinked) PC World article describes a product offered by ProPay, not the company itself: [1]. This is basically a gadget review; and it does not reflect significantly on the maker's company notability. As ecommercebytes doesn't even have a Wikipedia article, and I've never heard of it before, I don't think it is a very reliable source (but if someone wants to argue in favor of it, I'd gladly listen). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:33, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
