procedural nomination Deleted via WP:PROD 2006-03-19 when article resided at Authorize.net; deleted several times in the interim and finally re-nominated via PROD. 2006 PROD action was accompanied by the statement: "fails WP:CORP". Recent re-PROD came with the statement: "Seems to fail WP:CORP, at original name Authorize.net article has been deleted four times". User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete: I'm only seeing 3 deletions (may be more under a variant of spelling), but it doesn't appear to be notable. - Rjd0060 04:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep, did a Google search on this (Authorize net) found about 2M results including news.com, netcraft, zdnet, Monster, just to name a few. I think that should pass WP:WEB, WP:V, and WP:RS. VivioFateFan (Talk, Sandbox) 23:43, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep I did a osCommerce implementation last year and used the Authorize.Net gateway. I think it is the third or fourth biggest payment gateway in the world. It should not have been nominated. scope_creep (talk) 21:28, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep Obvious candidate for inclusion to anyone familiar with the industry, if anything, this article should be expanded and updated. dr.ef.tymac (talk) 01:21, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep I have rewritten this article to better reflect their status as a company in their industry. Considering they were just purchased for $565 million I'd say they are definitely worth inclusion.stymiee (talk) 01:40, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
