[edit] Fluke Networks

Article failing to assert notability for company. Company doesn't appear to meet WP:CORP (difficult to tell as article is so devoid of information). Was PRODded but PROD removed without comment so comes here.➨ ЯEDVERS 11:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - The company they where spun off is notable but this one seems not to meet WP:CORP. --Peripitus (Talk) 11:57, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: I repectfully disagree. I don't think even the parent company passes WP:CORP standards for notability, but that is another AfD for another day. --Satori Son 19:16, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

• No need to be so respectful. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong and like to have it pointed out. I havn't checked out the parent company, but I think that they may pass on basis of being an industry standard in some areas and having a great number of press articles + engineering awards. That's all for another Afd as you say--Peripitus (Talk) 22:18, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete nn, possibly fails WP:CORP. --Shizane 12:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Corporate vanity page; non-notable. Article for Chris L. Odell, their president, was created at same time by same user and Speedy Deleted with {db-bio}. --Satori Son 12:15, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Has over 500 employees worldwide and 348,000 pages on Google. The president page was made at the same time to try to fill out the pages with more information. More information will be added soon about history of company and product line. In the realm of network testing products they are a very strong name and well known in the industry. 129.196.227.112 20:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. This was spun off from a significant company as a result of an ownership change. The material no longer belongs in the old article and does not deserve deletion. WP:CORP was not put in place to address every case and is not by default a justification to delete aricles that result from a split from an ownership change. This is clearly not a vanity article but a relocation of existing material. Vegaswikian 18:36, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
