  • Delete, unless some notability is asserted and actually demonstrated. --Tikiwont 10:36, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, I can't understand how this company can be labeled as 'non-notable'. When it comes to customers, it's one of the most notable mobile technology companies in Northern Europe. The clients include all major TV channels, newspapers and other media companies in many European countries. I suggest someone who is familiar with the topic should check this. --Petri Behm 15:49, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless some proof of notability is acquired. Oli Filth 17:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Does not appear to have required notability. However, if someone can prove me wrong, I would be glad to change my vote. ZOUAVMAN LE ZOUAVE 20:21, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep According to Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Primary_criterion I tried to google. Most probably you won't find any articles on mobile device management (I found some in Finnish: DataInfo) - it's corporate stuff, and ordinary people don't really care about that. However, videoblogging stuff is quite popular. Services: Kaasa, FanBLOG, ConnectedDay; articles and press releases: HP interview, Mobile Monday 1 and 2, Forum Virium, Nokia Multimedia; some third-party blog; some of popular videoblogs: Nightwish, Lordi, Dudesons, Suosikki, Handelsblatt, RP Online; some articles and press releases in Finnish: HP news 1 and 2, Taloussanomat, Luoti. Still need more? Now I think article should be extended to include some of that :) — lim 00:35, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Datainfo isn't an article, it is news from corporate website. Blogs are not valid sources for Wikipedia, see WP:SOURCE - and the rest seem to be "we offer this service" pages from other corporations. Currently there are no news articles or any good, independent sources about Fromdistance - and furthermore, article reads like it is an advertisement. I suspect that the article is written as an advertisement by Fromdistance owner/workers. However, if author(s) manage to find good sources for the article, rewrite it and assert notability, then I have no problems with keeping it. Sander Säde 10:44, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
