- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was No consensus. DGG points out some additional sources, though they don't appear to have been added to the article, and some (blogs of any kind) may be questionably reliable. Still, his arguments are sufficient to prevent a consensus to delete from forming.
[edit] NERAC
I can't find evidence that this company meets WP:ORG. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:35, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

After review of the WP:ORG, I do not see a reason to remove this article.

- Delete, that link is to the company's site, and no links to the newspaper articles are found there. I looked in Google news, all I found was a racing team named the same. AnteaterZot (talk) 19:25, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - A Google News search turns up a number of returns for the company, but most of them are press releases or trivial mentions of people involved with the company. I don't see an indication that it's been covered in any substantial manner to provide reliable sources indicating its notability. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:11, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep[2] A article about the companies databases. , A blog posting, but a blog by a respected 3rd party librarian about Nerac [3] ; from BusinessWire, but factual: [4], Nerac.com Named One of Connecticut's Fastest Growing Technology Companies in Deloitte & Touche 'Fast 50' Program.,Nerac Makes Top Ten List of STM Aggregators--that last report is from Outsell, which is the leading market research company for information providers and publishing--I think that is reliable, even though Businesswire is basically a compendium of press releases. I added that one to the article. DGG (talk) 11:20, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per DGG's and anon poster's citations, WP:HEY. Bearian (talk) 19:49, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - this is one of those behind-the-scenes engineering firms that does a lot of stuff and is notable. Just because the public doesn't usually interact with it (service firm, public stock, etc), doesn't mean it should get deleted. Guroadrunner (talk) 11:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
