No independent sources (it's all either the company or reprints of their press releases), hence no indication of notability. Pinkbeast (talk) 17:18, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

cannot vote (revision note) Hello, I am not sure if I am doing this right to comment on this page, but I found some external references for this article and added them. Is this any better? I understand that we're primarily concerned over the articles on the subject, but I thought it might help the article as a whole to have some different external links to the products. Reriksenus (talk) 03:13, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Being the page's creator does not mean that you are not allowed to "vote" (it's not really a vote) or put in reasons why you think that the page should be kept. If you have some conflict of interest (if, for example, you do work for the subject), you can still give your input, but should also let us know your conflict of interest... and should be noting that in the creation of the article as well.

Having said that, the newly-added sources are either things that just let us know that the company exists (which was not really in doubt) or are reviews of specific pieces of software, which would lend to notability of the software but not do much for the notability of the company. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:23, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There seems to be enough reference to making it reliable. I don't think we should have just jumped to deletion so quickly on the article. You have to give editors time to work. That's why you have tags to add to it for improvements. Reb1981 (talk) 03:53, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Eh, no. All articles must meet the criteria for notability, otherwise editors can keep them in their draft spaces until they're ready. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:18, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, if there is a deletion, it is entirely straightforward for the editor to request a recreation in draft space to get it ready for mainspace. No work will be lost. Pinkbeast (talk) 19:52, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment https://www.newswire.com/matchware-celebrates-its-20th-anniversary/238246 and https://www.bloomberg.com/profiles/companies/1037673D:US-matchware-incshows can show notibility. Reb1981 (talk) 23:47, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The first of these is a press release; not independent. The second shows it exists; that is not in dispute. Pinkbeast (talk) 01:01, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No indications of notability, references fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:18, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the more people try to find sources that would indicate notability, the more it becomes dubious that such are out there. The press releases and databases just don't cut it. --Nat Gertler (talk) 01:10, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Some searches including site:.dk searches did not bring about more sources. Plenty of mention of their different products, but WP:INHERITORG applies, and this still fails GNG/NCORP. Sam Sailor 10:17, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Little or no non-PR coverage. Basie (talk) 00:30, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
