Spescom Limited

Was previously marked as {{del}} for advertising but does not quite qualify for speedy deletion because we need to determine if this South African communications company really is important or significant enough to warrant its own article. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:58, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, It gets about 84 useful Googles with 'pedia mirrors removed. That would normally question notability, but it could just be the Internet's likely systemic bias against South Africa. However, presuming their website [1] is telling the truth, they operate on 3 continents (N. America, Africa, Europe) which is good enough for me. This PDF link was broken, but is titled "Spescom Limited 21 Year Booklet", so they're pretty well established too. However, they are a subsidiary of Spescom Group [2], so perhaps we need an article about that with a mention of this. We don't have one, however, so we should have something rather than nothing. -Splash 04:12, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The Limited indicates that it is a public company which probably means that it is reasonably notable. Capitalistroadster 07:30, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above votes. Kappa 16:32, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
delete very little content - can be recreated if there is something wortwhile to say about this company. --Tim Pope 17:10, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand. Publicly-owned telecom company is good enough for me. Fernando Rizo T/C 20:15, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete unless expanded. If it is important it will be recreated, hopefully with more information. Pavel Vozenilek 17:09, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
