[edit] Raritan Computer

Vanity corporate page (see article discussion page). cholmes75 (chit chat) 03:05, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Clean and Keep I've heard of them. And if you do a search, it's 3 million hits. Requires cleanup of ad-like claims, though. CP/M 03:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep if you can get rid of the ad content. I like how you can vote to keep pages here! Nertz 05:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete nn computer firm. All the Ghits are catalogs and portals, SOP business listings. I don't think WP is a Phone Book, and the material is not encyclopedic, with or without the advert language. Tychocat 05:19, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - very well known KVM switch manufacturer just unfortunately written as an ad. If the ad content goes then we have a stub of a notable company. - Peripitus 09:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Muiltiple news coverage [1] easily passes WP:CORP. Needs rewriting per Peripitus. Kevin 10:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the ad content, and put a stub tag on it. Kevin 10:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment, if it "easily passes WP:CORP" then the article should be updated to reflect this. Right now what I see in the article falls completely short of WP:CORP.--Isotope23 16:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep current version. Colonel Tom 11:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - Given the rewrite, I change my vote to Keep. Nice work, Kevin.--cholmes75 (chit chat) 15:01, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Kevin fixed it up quite nicely. TruthbringerToronto 16:08, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, much better after cleanup. --Terence Ong 16:08, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep as above. Xyrael T 19:20, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • keep please it is fixed and meets our standards Yuckfoo 00:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable company - 10%/20% of the news clippings probably meet WP:CORP, seems to be a top 5 leader in KVM switch products. Article is much less painful after clean-up; thanks for taking the time, Kevin. Kuru talk 03:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Seems to be a worthwhile company that makes KVM switches. Needs clean up. I do not agree with Kevin1243's link to Raritan PR page, however, as press releases are not part of WP:CORP. Kevin_b_er 06:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
