[edit] Hifn
I created this page, and it has been going nowhere. Company is a tiny subsidiary with no notable products. All unverified statements in article were likely added by employees. Brownsteve 23:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Need to supply press articles on why/how it is notable. It is not a huge company, with 200 employees and annual revenues of US$45 million. Furthermore, the company is principally an OEM/B to B supplier of network, storage and security system. As it deals mainly with brand-name manufacturers, it is never likely to be a household name. In fact, few are likely to have heard of it, unless someone can prove otherwise... Ohconfucius 09:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Irritated Weak Keep. I don't like this article, and would like to see it cleaned up. But notability is clearly asserted: "market leader in security processors" and "first company to offer a processor with integrated encryption and compression". I regard these as notable achievements, if they are true and documented appropriately. Ohconfucius misses the point when he says that "few are likely to have heard of it": we have plenty of articles about things that few people have heard of. What matters is whether people using Wikipedia to help them research their interest ( security processor design, say ) would want to know more. I feel the article needs a heavy re-write, but I believe that if this can be done it should stay: it's of marginal interest, but we're not paper. WMMartin 18:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
