• Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. After the proposed deletion template was added on 11 April 2023, I conducted searches for sources. I found sources about Mustek (Chinese: 萬宇科技公司), a South African company founded by David Kan, a Taiwanese businessman, that sells personal computers. It has the website https://mustek.co.za and likely is notable.

  This is a different company from the Taiwanese manufacturing company Mustek Systems, which sells image scanners. It has the website https://www.mustek.com.tw/ and does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

• Delete. It's looking real "Mustek+Systems" grim on the web for this; while I dislike the idea of deleting a page about an equipment manufacturer (i.e. making it more difficult for people to use devices), it's not clear to me that they really have any products that are documented anywhere, meaning it is not possible for us to write a good (or indeed useful) encyclopedia article about them. Ping me if sources are found. jp×g 04:43, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
