[edit] SANRAD
Advert for a non-notable company. AfD since prod and prod2 were removed. If the product is unique (and notable), then the product should have an entry. --DrTorstenHenning 08:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- If a product page is created for the product with relavent articles about its uniqness and importantce, would that be enough to close this debate? - iSCSI user 8:50, 5 September 2006
- Reply. It looks like the company is making switches and network storage products. These are already covered on Wikipedia, and if the products of this company have valuable features that other switches or network storage products do not have, then the first place to add info should be the generic product class pages. Just creating product pages will not settle the issue, because then the notability of the products will have to be established. If we could read on the page under discussion here what makes these products really notable (keeping in mind that this is an encyclopedia, so there is a certain threshold, and just being a little better than other products is not enough), then this page could very well stay. But, so far the page only tells us that the company makes something that can be described easily in terms of generic product lines. By the way, should you be in any way associated with Sanrad: the size between 60 and 360 employees is a little vaguely defined, could we have more detail on that? If you are not associated with Sanrad, but just a satisfied customer, please feel free to establish notability for the Sanrad products. --DrTorstenHenning 11:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- I am not an employee of sanrad. My company uses their products, how would i establish the notability, they don't really sell switches as much as tey sell data replication and disaster recovery via IP san and SCSI. They helped us save our entire network, so i thought a wikipage would be a nice thank you.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.74.105.134 (talk • contribs).
- Reply. By that reasoning, every fireman, medical doctor, ..., computer technician who saved a failing harddisk, ..., should "deserve" a WP page ... --DrTorstenHenning 14:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

- Delete as the entry fails to meet the requirements of WP:CORP - the standard for determining nobility of corporations.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 14:19, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- speedy delete as copyvio [1] -Harmil 01:01, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, Red Herring listed as one of top 100 private cos. in "Europe" (incl. Israel). They are the leading vendor in their niche, any high-end server architect knows who they are. (If you broaden the topic to "disaster recovery vendor" I don't know that they're still as notable.) Needs a better write-up, though. --Dhartung | Talk 04:25, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- I agree,Keep, Listed on red herring, large customers, big enought to get support from the Gov. of California, there products also win awards. Anybody building a WAN knows what they offer.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.74.105.134 (talk • contribs).
- Keep,but...I thik they have proved this to be a signifcant company the text could be meatier, but there is no reason to delete this. -- User:DrDorkus
- Also I think keep this is an interesting company, and in my mind any company has public relevance on wiki. -- User:cliftonflack
- Delete for copyvio, as per Harmil above. --Vsion 04:46, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
