[edit] Perle Systems

• Delete Non-notable commercial advertising. AlistairMcMillan 06:32, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep It started as advertising, but I put in material about their being delisted from the NASDAQ, so it's not a puff piece at this point. They were a reasonably big company once, although now they're more of historical interest. --John Nagle 06:37, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

If the company is notable, would you mind adding some sources to back that up. AlistairMcMillan 17:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep per John Nagle's comments. Scorpiondollprincess 13:48, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep, they were a successful vendor in the minicomputer segment as I recall, obviously the worse for wear at this point. Tagged for importance. --Dhartung | Talk 07:25, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per John Nagle, this should hold a historical interest. Yamaguchi先生 22:23, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't see how this meets WP:CORP. The text still reads like it is an advert in parts where it makes claims. Vegaswikian 20:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep As far as my understanding of the WP:CORP goes, it fullfills point number 1: The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself (http://www.findarticles.com). If the text still partly reads as an ad wouldn't it make more sense to change it rather than delete it? --Lukas Karrer 18:55, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
