Promotional article on a non-notable company. Google News didn't find anything that would allow us to write a well-sourced article about it. Huon (talk) 18:21, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I just realized that the article was nominated for deletion in 2008 for basically the same reasons, with a "keep" decision that noted the article needed cleanup. Now, seven years later, those basic issues still are unresolved. I do not think they can be resolved. Merely having many employees is not a guarantee of notability.

  • Keep - AfD is not cleanup. Publicly traded company on a major exchange - NASDAQ. If you search without the term "corporation" you can find the references on Google News. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:33, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As the sources already listed at the end of the article confirm, the company is certainly notable. I agree that the promotional tone of the article was annoying and non-encyclopedic. I've taken a whack at improving the style. [1] --Arxiloxos (talk) 22:07, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Dubious sources and article but a corporation with a $500M market cap is most likely notable, irregardless of a skim through Google. Esquivalience t 03:31, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
