Why is this article targeted for speedy deletion? The entry has been in Wikipedia since 2005 and the company made a significant contribution to the expansion of the Internet. Please let me know what is offensive in the current iteration so I can make changes.

I did not flag it, and I agree that the article warrants keeping (many sources would be available for a $400M/yr company), but much of the article is trash. It contains sentences such as "The founding of Ciena in Linthicum, Md., was perfectly timed to ride the Internet wave. When Ciena finally went public in 1997, it raised $3.4 billion in that year's hottest IPO." Quatloo 19:08, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. I'll make some edits, although I think it's relevant that the company was "the hottest IPO" that year; I'll find a less cheesy, more quantifiable way to say it.
