I cannot see where notability is supposed to reside here. It isn't helped by poorly formed in-line references and a great number of external links. The in-line refs show that it exists and that is all. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   18:26, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment, when this article was named VT iDirect, it was apparently deleted four times, one of which was via AfD. There is also mention of COI by Photoguy11579 in this old COIN discussion. It seems to say the user is connected to the company but I did not see a definitive declaration of that. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 06:31, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I'm a fan of and part of the satellite industry, but not connected to the company.Photoguy11579 (talk) 10:23, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete the only sources available are announcements - these are not consistent with independent reporting per WP:ORGDEPTH; wp:rs and wp:n. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 19:58, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Here is the aforementioned AfD [1]]. This page as "IDirect" has been deleted twice on 28 July 2008 and 23 May 2009 [2]. This is in addition to the aforementioned having been deleted several times under a slightly different name. Here is the log for that [3]. As a result the page was ultimately userfied without a mainspace redirect [4]. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 19:58, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
