I pulled the text above that was placed incorrectly inside the AfD template, but should be considered in the discussion. If this breaks a rule, feel free to slap me. Ivanvector (talk) 05:13, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No notability found. Commercial spam. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:54, 17 December 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:BIO for having almost no mentions in independent secondary sources. Of the links provided here, I would consider only the crn.com link to be of decent quality, and that is not enough depth. I found nothing better online. Ivanvector (talk) 05:28, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Humble Request to all of you. I know Articles rquire significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. yes This Article has significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I have recently added two sources both they are reliable and independent of the subject

1- First Reliable source is a printed magazine named THE BUSINESS JOURNALS. This is a very popular printed business magazine across the world providing Business news. it has a written Article and news with photo about Mr. Ben AYED with title "Secure Access Technologies tackles workplace mobile" on date 2013/06/07. you may find this at http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/print-edition/2013/06/07/secure-access-technologies-tackles.html. I think this is a very strong reliable source and independent of the subject.

2-Second Reliable source is CRN Magazine. this is a monthly and popular printed Magazine distributed across the world. it has written an Article and news with photo about Mr. Ben Ayed with titled "The 10 Coolest Security Startups Of 2013" on date 19-07-2013 and on Friday. You may find this at http://www.crn.com/slide-shows/security/240158269/the-10-coolest-security-startups-of-2013-so-far.htm?pgno=9 I think this is another a very strong Reliable source and independent of the Subject.

Comment - this amounts to trivial coverage of the subject. reddogsix (talk) 17:05, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep so we all come to know that this article is neutral and have very strong and reliable sources. This Article is within the scope of Wikipedia's company project. It is informative and educative in nature. I could provide many other references and sources as I am purely a Wikipedian. Thanks to all.106.213.94.200 (talk) 12:08, 17 December 2013 (UTC) — 106.213.94.200 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Comment - No, we all do not agree the article has strong sources. They are trivial at best.reddogsix (talk) 17:04, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - references are trivial in nature. Fails to demonstrate compliance with WP:BIO. reddogsix (talk) 17:03, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article cites zero reliable sources; rather, every last source here is unreliable, primary and/or trivial. And furthermore, articles that need a sockpuppet swarm to come defend them automatically get side-eye from me. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 20:33, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The blurb from Silicon Valley Business Journal is the closest thing to a reliable source, and even that would apply more to the related article on Secure Access Technologies. Quantumobserver (talk) 03:07, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No reliable sources and canvassing/meat puppetry is very concerning in this AFD. Mkdw ^talk 03:05, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
