Virtutech[edit]

Corporate brochure. Does not meet WP:CORP Monkeyman 00:04, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP They have had notable press coverage & have partnerships with both IBM and AMD. They are a Swedish company, so someone more knowledgabe about international stock exchanges might also chime in. --Karnesky 00:18, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Press coverage and partnerships are not criteria for 'keep' within WP:CORP. Monkeyman 03:21, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It is the first criteria: "The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself." -- Karnesky 03:51, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is an actual article, not a brochure --Ruby 00:52, 18 February 2006 (UTC) Changing to Delete Alexa rank of 468,217, which would be borderline for a bank or insurance company but this is a computer company. --Ruby 03:15, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The company caters to a small number of very large companies. Of course the Alexa rank will be low, because it's not selling to the masses. Googling "Virtutech": 44,800 hits and the site is PageRank 7. Jehochman 19:35, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Karnesky. --Ter e nc e Ong 05:07, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I see no sources cited in the article. If there's notable coverage, then cite it. Otherwise, I don't think it has been demonstrated to meet WP:CORP at this time. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 06:42, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I added some sources onto the page after searching Google for a bit. After mulling it over, it think it's a keep per WP:CORP 1 -- Samir ∙ ^T_C 08:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE --Alphachimp 19:28, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I don't see the point of this nomination. If their software Simics is notable enough to have an article, the company must be at least notable enough to be merged. And Alexa rank seems irrelevant. u p p l a n d 20:08, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Simics is notable, therefore Virtutech is as well. —Ruud 01:31, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 13:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
