[edit] HDGuard

Appears to be no more than an advertisement for the product. Parent company Eye4you is also being considered for deletion; both pages are primarily the work of the same user HumbleGod 06:23, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. An advertisement is not allowed.--Tdxiang 07:23, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as ad. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 08:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Has anyone ever even heard of this software? The company is a small business that specialises in redistributing software developed by others. I am unable to find any real info about them, and so their notability is dubious indeed. Let me clarify this. I am able to verify their existence, but I was unable to verify that they have produced or distributed anything of note. --NMChico24 08:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment, are you talking about 'Eye4you' the distributor, or 'Ramcke DatenTechnik GmbH' the developer? Kuru talk 19:31, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
      • The company I refer to is Eye4you. That is the company this article was associated with, as the same user who posted that article (since deleted) posted this one. --NMChico24 21:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - Indeed, I am actually employed by the company eye4you, we do distribute HDGuard which in turn is somewhat of a competitor of Deep Freeze (Deep Freeze has little presence in Australia and Europe). I absolutely love wikipedia, and thought it may have been a good idea to post articles on our company which is well known throughout the Australian public/private education arena, however, after reading through the WP articles I do agree that both the HDGuard and eye4you articles should be removed. Notability doubts and corporate _influence_ are present, please delete this article. (Comment also posted on the Deep Freeze (software) AfD dispute.) Nathan.manzi 01:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, I'm really not seeing the usual media collage and references on the company's site - is there better data in the German version of the page (the company's home langauage)? Any idea of the install base? The Austrailian distributor (eye4you) had mention of some fairly large orders, but any idea outside of that region? Kuru talk 01:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, RDT supplys the whole of Europe (a bit more information on that on the German site), whereas eye4you supplies Asia Pacific. The German site [1] has some references to the install base. Over 300 schools in New Zealand and 668 schools in Australia are HDGuard users. The company is working on a client base media release. Nathan.manzi 02:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
