Cumulus Networks was just acquired by NVidia: https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/04/nvidia-acquires-cumulus-networks/ - I am not sure how that helps or not the discussion. But the company did create a strong open source operating system for ethernet switches and was acquired. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.253.8.251 (talk) 18:03, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Enough coverage, including but not limited to Nvidia acquisition to merit NCORP — Ad Meliora ^Talk∕_Contribs 17:55, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Question Does the coverage of the Nvidia acquisition cover the subject in any significant depth? Or does the RS coverage focus on the acquisition itself?Ch1p the chop (talk) 13:51, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The WSJ article actually appears to be a blog which has a 404 error. I found an archived version here but it's an archive of a paywall. Perhaps we could consider merging as a WP:ATD? Ch1p the chop (talk) 13:58, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article is reasonably wells-sourced, and meets the notability criteria for a company article in the English Wikipedia. N2e (talk) 17:44, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No evidence of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. What is independent or reliable is not significant and vice-versa. The only RS coverage is completely ordinary WP:MILL coverage. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 22:09, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In particular, developing an open-source operating system for network switches and 32 percent of the Fortune 50 companies used the Cumulus Linux operating system in their data centers in 2017 jump out to me as going beyond WP:MILL. Finding reliable sources about Bay Area software startups is challenging, but not impossible: Googling reveals a TechCrunch article (from a staff writer, per WP:RSP) about the Nvidia acquisition. jp×g 06:26, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Good support by what appear to be reliable sources, and the company appears to be a leader in its field. Good coverage in news articles specific to this field.--Concertmusic (talk) 13:42, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It has good sources but if you delete this one than take a look at the Networking companies of the United States category and delete half of them because they all have the same format.--TerrellTrevon (talk) 17:20, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I made some edits to replace primary sources with independent third party sources, and reworded the article to make it less promotional. Per WP:ORGIND, the included sources show that "unrelated people with no vested interest in the subject have actually considered the company, corporation, product or service notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial, non-routine works that focus upon it". As part of the coverage, research firm Gartner has recognized the company for its efforts to transition the data center industry to open source servers, away from hardware running on proprietary operating systems.

Keep needs improvement but enough coverage for WP:ORG KylieTastic (talk) 13:39, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
