TestOut Corporation[edit]

Speedy declined as admin felt company may be notable. Google search returns no reliable sources, likewise no coverage of this corporation via Google News. Fails WP:ORG and more generally WP:GNG. Furthermore, article is mostly sourced to self-published sources (see criterion 5 of linked subsection) and comes across like spam or an advertisement for the company. Delete.

Delete I am unable to find "significant coverage in secondary sources" about the company or its products. Clovis Sangrail (talk) 13:09, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This business develops IT certification training courses called LabSim. Article is entirely advertising, containing a "mission statement" ("To make a difference in a person's life through education using breakthrough technology."), an entirely unreferenced but self-congratulatory company history (The company began incorporating videos, written lessons, and practice exam questions in each training series. Then UEC began integrating simulation technology into its computer-based training to give users hands-on experience.), and the rest and bulk of the article is a listing of the products it offers. And, as noted, it's just not notable. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:45, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
