Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sassafras Software

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Consensus is that sources available for the topic indicate it is not notable. As a non-notable topic, moving to draft space would not be productive. That said, if additional sources become available which do indicate notability, this can be restored to userspace/draftspace. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 15:18, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

References contain either passing mentions or write-ups in non-reliable sources. A preliminary WP:BEFORE showed much the same. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 20:39, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Draftify per WP:A7. I'm finding some information on the company, however the article does not explain the importance. startTerminal (haha wow talk page | startTerminal on irc) 01:08, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Notable. Coverage in GBooks and elsewhere satisfies GNG. James500 (talk) 06:15, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@James500: If you want to keep, please directly specify that. If you are meaning to reply to me, use Template:Ping and/or use the : character at the start of the line to signify an indent. startTerminal (haha wow talk page | startTerminal on irc)

• Keep -- This company's products are consistently reviewed in just for instance Network World and Infoworld, RSs for this sort of thing, see e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. This is in addition to various networking textbooks and licensing exam guides, e.g. [6], [7], [8]. So really, a clear-cut pass of the GNG. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 16:53, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sources appear ok for creating an article on the product (Keyserver) however for creating an article on the company they aren't useful, as they only merely mention the company in passing, and thus don't help write an article on it. Galobtter (pingó mió) 13:26, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete No indications of notability, references fail the criteria for establishing notability and fail WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. HighKing⁺⁺ 21:59, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: sources do not meet WP:CORPDEPTH and generally WP:TOOSOON, or maybe never. Wikipedia is not a free means of promotion or an extension of a corporate web site. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:29, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
