I deleted this article after a previous discussion at AFD but was provided further sources by the author. I'm not completely persuaded that this now demonstrates notability but its close enough that this deserves a fresh discussion. As this is a procedural nomination I abstain from an opinion Spartaz ^Humbug! 11:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep Need to provide a reason to delete. Colonel Warden (talk) 03:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
• Why isn't the article based around Virtual Communication Services, the parent company?--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:06, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

• Vpmi is a better search term - I recognised it instantly. Colonel Warden (talk) 04:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

• Isn't that what redirects are for?--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:34, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. The article could stand a rewrite but the references demonstrate notability. I would redirect the company to the product in this case, and move to VPMi. --Dhartung | Talk 05:53, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep "Multiple, independent, reliable sources" -- looks like it to me. -- Renesis (talk) 03:39, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
