[edit] DreamStream

DreamStream (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Article on a start-up with no independent sources; ad-like but not blatant spam. Surely fails WP:CORP - note that its first product launch is coming next month. Also note that this article has been deleted under CSD G11 twice. Mangojuicetalk 23:05, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. No assertion of notability. Google news turns up nothing but a different product with the same name. —BradV 00:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete no sort of external coverage. -Drdisque (talk) 00:56, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Concerning notability, Wikipedia states: "... smaller organizations can be notable, just as individuals can be notable, and arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations." Thus, it does not fail WP:CORP. Furthermore, within the encryption industry, DreamStream's technology is both unprecedented and unparalleled, which, from a journalistic standpoint, makes this entry valuable.

Yes, smaller organizations can be notable. That doesn't mean they are. To pass WP:CORP, we need "coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources." —BradV 17:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
"Unprecedented and unparalleled" is kind of a hard claim to back up when DreamStream doesn't even describe their technology. So I think that claim is quite dubious and needs to be backed up with a reliable, independent source. Mangojuicetalk 21:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
