[edit] Proxima Technology

Does not establish notability per WP:CORP, prod removed without comment. --Alan Au 21:30, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

• Please explain what this means--I cannot find this explanation anywhere ("does not establish notability"). Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jeder1 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Notability for companies is defined here: WP:CORP. If the com,pany has been the subject of an article in a magazine or newspaper, please add a reference to the published article in the references section of your article. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 21:48, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

• Understood. I added references to four publications referencing Proxima--hopefully that's enough to establish notability. Thanks. Johan Eder 22:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Fails WP:CORP. Arbusto 02:23, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I'd previously deleted this article as CSD A7 and urge careful consideration by Jeder1 as to if you expect that this company really deserves an article in an encyclopedia. (Admins, please note CSD A7 doesn't qualify an article for G4 speedy re-deletion. From my understanding, it has to go through a VfD at least once to be eligable in the future.) ~Kylu (u|t) 04:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy deleted material technically doesn't qualify for any sort of G4 redeletion. However, it can always be reconsidered whether it will qualify under same speedy deletion criterion. (It's an entirely different matter, however, whether the article qualified for A7 in the first place. A7 doesn't clearly spell out that corporations qualify, in my opinion, thus, nonnotable corporations don't qualify for A7. Which is a shame.) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 14:51, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
• I feel that this company does deserve an entry in Wikipedia--they have been around for ten years, have many customers, and have been referenced in a number of publications and magazine articles. I don't know what CSD A7 means, or G4, or what a VfD is--I'm just trying to write an entry that's germane and acceptable; this is my first attempt at a Wikipedia entry, and I picked a company that I feel is a leader in its space.

  • Again, WP:CSD (various rules of what material is completely unwarranted and will be deleted on sight; A7 is nonnotable people/groups, G4 is deleted content that has been reposted), WP:VfD (old name for Articles for Deletion). Apologies; Articles for Deletion is regrettably a little bit jargon-heavy place. =) You may also want to look at the mysterious WP:G and even WP:WP. =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 14:51, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination as non-notable and rather vague. - Smerdis of Tlön 15:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
• I guess I don't understand--then why is one of Proxima's competitors allowed to have a listing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Fuel)? Johan Eder 22:04, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
  • AfD debates don't create binding precedents and deletion rules, only "similar cases" that can sometimes be referred to. The people were allowed to make the article, just as anyone was allowed to make this article. All deletion debates are unlinked, and notability of each article is assessed independently of each other. If anyone feels Digital Fuel doesn't fulfill the notability criteria, they're free to nominate that article for deletion too. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 09:43, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as the sources introduced are not about the company, they fail to rise to the WP:CORP level. We get thousands of new articles created a day, that one had never been discussed for deletion. But I see no evidence that it merits inclusion, so I'll get on that. GRBerry 02:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
