Basically just a company advert for a non-notable company. Fails WP:GNG, WP:CORP and WP:PROMO. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:55, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now and draft to a willing user's userspace as my searches found several results but nothing that appears solid here (News, results fade page 3), here, here ("leading multi-channel communications and customer services company") and here.

Delete - this is nothing more than an advert for a privately-held, non-publicly-traded corporation. We are not a free webhost. Bearian (talk) 14:10, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, JAaron95 (Talk) 14:29, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment actually Bearian, that's not correct, the company is public traded on the ASX.[1] Adpete (talk) 07:25, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, poor article content is not a valid deletion reason. This company clearly meets WP:GNG as is evidenced by numerous articles in the Fairfax Media publications. There are over 8,000 mentions of the company in Factiva over 30 years. A search of EBSCOhost's Australia/New Zealand Reference Centre yields over 400 results. Obviously not all of these results are significant coverage but there are many many examples. Hack (talk) 12:10, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Salmat to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
