- It's had a source since January 2007. I'll grant that the sources are still mostly not cited inline and still mostly not third-party, but "completely unsourced" is, charitably, flatly untrue. —Cryptic 03:51, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

- Delete I searched for independent third party references and found nothing. RockyMtChai (talk) 17:31, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This was an important pioneer in the history of electronic information services. Lots of sources are apparent in the HighBeam and GScholar searches linked above, and even if many of them are of questionable independence, examples of sources that could be used to support an article include several pages from this book about "Infonomics", a lengthy 1991 article from Information Today, and a news analysis about the 2001 sale to Wolters Kluwer/Ovid Technologies. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:46, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

- Keep – The topic meets WP:CORPDEPTH. Source examples include, but are not limited to those listed below. Also note that per WP:NEXIST, topic notability is based upon source availability, rather than the state of sourcing in articles. North America1000 06:20, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
