The existing references do not demonstrate that this company is notable. One reference is a dead link. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:04, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nominator disclaimer I need to disclaim some bias in this: I became aware of a company with a similar name who wants an article in Wikipedia simply because the presence of this other article is causing search-engine problems for the company in question. While that has no bearing in whether this article should be kept or not, it did draw my attention to the article. I did not attempt to do any research about the company "Trackit Solutions" to determine if the company should have an article on Wikipedia, I only looked at the current version of the article to determine of the current version demonstrated that the company is notable. Because it failed that test, I nominated it for deletion. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:13, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
DubaiTrackIt possibilities; some refs that look like they may be useful. Have not verified them as good/valid/notable/reliable, sorry. UN.[1] Bloomberg.[2] Traderag, or blog?[3][4] Newspaper, or blog?[5]
  Less useful methinks. Traderag, or blog?[6] Famous BLP?[7] Maybe?[8]
  Unrelated helpdesk-software product.[9] There are a *lot* of products and companies with "track-it" or some variation in their name. HTH. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 17:07, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nominator's preferred outcome The best outcome would be for someone to research the company and either come out and say it's a non-notable company OR for them to improve the article to the point that the article demonstrates that the company is in fact notable enough to qualify for an article, in which case the article should be kept. If nobody does the research before this AFD closes, then I would recommend "soft deletion" without prejudice of a new article provided that any new article clearly show that the company meets WP:Notability. In no case should "real-world" concerns like how similarly-named companies are having difficulties in search-engine results have any bearing on the decision (I might feel differently if this were a biography of a living person, but it's not). davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:13, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I researched the *other* end of the problem, trying to find some WP:RS for the UK company that make it WP:NOTEWORTHY enough for the distinguish2 tag, and suggested a fix over on the talkpage. David and/or Julie, take a peek at my suggestion when you have a moment.
  As for the Dubai company, the subject of *this* RfC, there is definitely a problem with Notability as the article stands now. I have some industry-insider knowledge, I guess you would call it: Motorola gave them the 'award' because the startup in Dubai is entirely dependent on the RFID-related-product-line that Motorola sells. In other words, the five cites in the DubaiTrackit article at the moment, include four from the COI-encumbered parent-company (in a biz-relationship rather than legal-entity sense of "parent"), and one to TheNewzYouChooseDotNet which is a deadlink. Agree with David that we need somebody to see if there are any non-Motorola-encumbered-mentions of this Dubai corporation. Suggest asking somebody at WikiProjectRFID, or WikiProjectVehicleFleets, or something related? Ping my talkpage if you need anything, thanks for improving wikipedia. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 16:43, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
