[edit] Zeus Technology

• Delete. Pure advertisement/vanity (WP:SPAM) article. Was previously de-{{prod}}ded by a new user. (Boborok 16:58, 2 May 2006 (UTC))
• Delete as per nom. Probably also contrary to WP:CORP. -- P199 20:16, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment There is at least one BBC article meeting WP:V that can be used as a source. See this link. [1] I'm not sure it meets the notability critera for companies at WP:CORP, but one article is a start and I didn't look hard. GRBerry 20:25, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Zeus is a well known software development house who produce a webserever used by, at one point, 5% of the worlds websites. They are always listed on netcraft.com and have many articles regarding their software on the web. Boborok is a known defacer and this article deletion should be revoked.--Toph3r 21:09, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

• Note Above user removed the AfD notice as "defacement" and has asked for page protection to "protect" against this nomination. Sorry, Toph3r, regardless of your opinion of the nomination, Wikipedia procedures require that, once an article is nominated, the process will run about 5-7 days. You are not supposed to remove the AfD tag on the page while the question is being considered. Please review the procedures at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.

Ok, AFD's coming the way of all other http webservers as they're 'spam' and 'advertising'. --Toph3r 23:19, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment: OK this is the wrong reaction. If the Zeus article contained any encyclopedic information in addition to a link to boost PageRanks then it would be fine. But as it is now it looks awfully a lot like spam to me. (Boborok 07:15, 3 May 2006 (UTC))

• Keep and rewrite. Despite inaccurate information in the article, Zeus Technology's Zeus Web Server is the 4th most commonly deployed web server on the Internet according to Netcraft [2]. Zeus Web Server has been featured in print magazines such as Network Computing [3] and InformationWeek [4] — Elving 03:05, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep After article rewrite, this is fine. --80.229.218.181 15:23, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Elving. Needs quite a lot of work, for sure, but it is notable. -- ReyBrujo 04:04, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: article has now been rewritten to address advertisement/vanity and style concerns. -- Oweng 10:33, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete per WP:CORP, but I'm open to be convinced otherwise. At a minimum, however, reliable sources would have to be cited showing how this company meets the standards. Stifle (talk) 12:56, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
