Delete I agree with Kleuske that this article fails to meet the WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. I looked into the company, but wasn't able to find more than a couple of press releases. Unless other editors can find more third-party sources on the company, deletion makes the most sense. GroundFloor (talk) 19:55, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not Delete I do not agree with Kleuske. A simple Google search returns a lot of information about the company. Its Korean page contains a lot of 3rd party press releases. It is clearly a legit company. Moreover, the page does not contain any controversial information. I see no reason of deleting the page.

- Press releases do not establish notability. Also, this is your first and only edit on Wikipedia. How come I suspect a conflict of interest? Kleuske (talk) 07:07, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Topic looks like it fails WP:NCORP. While the article cites a number of sources, said coverage lacks the depth and intellectual independence to qualify the subject as meeting NCORP; too many sources are press releases, routine business announcements, or trivial in nature. The article lists some awards the company has won, but none of these appear to be particularly notable either. As this is a Korean company some potential sources may exist in Korean, but these would need to be brought forward and heavily scrutinized. In addition - and per this COIN thread - this article can credibly be said to have been created with the intent to promote the topic in violation of WP:NOTADVERTISING.

Delete without being able to analyze the Korean sources, I would say this reeks of promotion.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:14, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The best reference appears to be the 2014 company profile piece in Datanet. Aside from that, there are press releases (such as December 2019), product inclusion in market vendor surveys, all of which help verify that this is a company going about its business, but I am not seeing sufficient coverage to demonstrate notability.

Keep It has long been established that coverage by analyst firms meets the criteria for establishing notability. Penta Security has coverage by Gartner Research, Frost and Sullivan and Data Bridge Market Research to name a few. Therefore topic meets the criteria. Kleuske, GroundFloor, SamHolt6, ThatMontrealIP, AllyD can you review your !votes above in light of the existence of analyst reports? This article may need cleanup instead of deletion.

Delete Does not pass WP:CORPDEPTH. The links posted by HighKing above are mostly passing mentions. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 10:39, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
