[edit] LANDesk

Bump from speedy. I cleaned up the adcopy, so it's no longer spam. Borderline notability though. —Quarl ^(talk) 2007-02-18 09:40Z

• Delete for no assertion or citation of notability. Given good references, I'd be happy to change my "vote", but as it exists, no reason to assume this is anything but a tiny unit of a large company. -Markeer 13:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Keep changed my vote based on Crypticfirefly's added citations, although I'd still like to see more (or, arguably, any) assertion of notability per WP:CORP -Markeer 14:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Looks good enough to me per WP:CORP "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works...." There are many, many product review articles about this company. Crypticfirefly 13:27, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete no assert of notability, no external references, now owned by Intel anyway --Steve _(Slf67) ^talk 08:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)Weak keep dull as dishwater, enterprise computing product but the added information means it can stay --Steve _(Slf67) ^talk 22:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I've heard of this company, and since I am not an IT professional, perhaps this is evidence that it is a large & well-known company. Also, according to the linked company website it is not owned by Intel, it is now owned by Avocent. Crypticfirefly 06:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Followup: I did some checking, and this is indeed a well-known company with a worldwide presence. The reason some people may not be familiar with it is that its products apparently are used for managing large corporate computer networks. I found references to several articles on it in German and Spanish on top of a vast number of articles in English in various IT publications. An Amazon.com search shows that a couple of books have been written about how to use some of their products and LANDesk is referenced in many others. Crypticfirefly 04:38, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep the article as it stands at this point (presumably significantly more verified than at time of nomination) —siroχo 17:19, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep following the improvements made and sources added by Crypticfirefly. -- Black Falcon 22:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
