The result was delete. The burden of WP:CORP has not been met. It's not policy, but no good reason to ignore it has been provided. Mango juice^talk 16:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NetUP[edit]

Subject is an advertisement for a non-notable software company. Google search returns other companies and products with the same name and a number of questions posted on message boards which are remarkably similar to each other. Delete per WP:CORP and WP:ADS Justin 08:27, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This company's product User Traffic Manager is also nominated for deletion. It was a Google search for that product which returned the multiple message board postings with similar wording. Justin 08:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete the article. I'm very tired to explain to everyone that this is not spam, this is not an advertisment because nobody can find the article without knowing its name a priori. Please, stop defaming me and the article by messages as "delete this spam" as I'm a real author, and the company is well known among ISP and Telecom companies. I didn't suspect such behavour of Wikipedia members. Regards, Konstantin Emelyanov

This cannot be advertisement because of the article cannot be found without knowing it a priori. These two articles (User Traffic Manager, NetUP) are linked one to another. But there are no other external links, that's why this is a loop system. What is the problem, I can't comprehend? Konstantin

Delete According to the article "NetUP also contributed to popularization of Linux in Russia". If this is correct the company is can be notable but only if the effect was enough to create a verifiable source for this. Until then there are thousands of software companies in Moscow and, until something comes out to show that this one is special, I'm afraid the article should be deleted. --Spartaz 23:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Information about the partners is available on the original Russian web site of the company: http://www.netup.ru/teh_partners.php , http://www.netup.ru/biz_partners.php . Also, please see the certificates, which are legal documents granted by the ministry of communications of Russia. The scanned certificates may be seen here: http://www.netup.biz/certificate.php. Best regards, Konstantin

Comment I'm not disputing that the company exists or that your software is registered in Russia so neither of those links is particularly helpful. Lets go back to notability and you providing some independant verification of the assertion that your company is "popularizing Linux in Russia". Cpacibo! --Spartaz 16:28, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ok. NetUP has developed several opensource projects: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ndsad/ ; http://sourceforge.net/projects/get-xyz . Linux Live CD was sent more than 3,000 times, its image was downloaded more than 7,000 times (totally more than 10,000 times). Yours, Konstantin
