[edit] RAD Data Communications

RAD Data Communications (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
  • Keep - Indeed poorly written and referenced, BUT I am going to re-write in a few days. The company has authored several IETF drafts and it is well known in Israel and the worldwide networking industry. John Hyams 05:15, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I have started adding reference links. John Hyams 06:43, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Nominating for deleting (2nd nomination). Fails WP:CORP by any reasonable measure. Total turnover is only $168M which is pretty tiny in global terms. Article is uncategorized, orphaned, and contains no links. Time to put it out of its misery. Not sure how it escaped deletion last time around (see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RAD Data Communications). --Legis (talk - contribs) 12:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - Subject is notable because it is a player in several interesting niche markets. The article needs to be savagely rewritten, that's for sure. The text looks very similar to this: [1], probably done by a lazy PR rep. I'm happy to do the rewrite. I was planning on doing so, but had not gotten to it yet. -- Austin Murphy 14:28, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment - I've just rewritten the article. It's stubby and not very pretty, but I don't think it is appropriate to delete it anymore. -- Austin Murphy 16:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
      • It still needs secondary sources about the company to establish notability per WP:CORP... nadav (talk) 08:00, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Israel-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 07:40, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The article is not the subject of multiple independent sources, as required by WP:CORP — it has absolutely no sources, other than the company's own website. Nyttend 13:12, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
This is no longer true, as I have started adding reference links. John Hyams 14:37, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Most of the current links in the article are either to press releases or not that in depth, however, I am confident that that there are many sources for info about this company. See the Google news archive search: [2] It's a well-known company in Israel. nadav (talk) 04:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
