[edit] GT Enterprises

NN Indian establishment - possible vanity article Blood red sandman 15:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Hello. I am --fredericknoronha 16:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC) a journalist who writes on Free/Libre and Open Source Software in India, and Asia. I would like to state that I am the author of this article, have no stake whatsoever in GT Enterprises, and feel this article should be retained in view of the role played by this firm in promoting FLOSS in this part of the globe.

    Because I found Taranath newsworthy, I have written about him in the past, including here -- http://www.maailma.kaapeli.fi/asia.html : "Other firms like GTCdRom, run by former navy officer Taranath in Bangalore, attract huge crowds at IT events such as IT.Com held annually in that city which some consider the 'Silicon Valley of India'."

    When you call it a "possible vanity article" your assumption is that the author of this article is part of the firm itself, or in some way related to it. I would like to emphatically add that the only reason I write this is because I find the matter to be worthy of an entry in here, and feel that concerns of relevance to South Asia should also adequately reflect in the Wikipedia. Please check my other contributions to verify what I'm saying, and my possible motives. --fredericknoronha 16:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

    • To verify what you write, we need cited sources to show that this company satisfies our WP:CORP criteria for companies and corporations. Uncle G 17:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Does not meet WP:CORP. It is not listed on any stock market. Does not return any hits on Google news and as far as I could tell, it is not listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications. I could find some references about it being the one of the few Linux distributors in India, but that still does not make it a notable company. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 18:19, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
