Company has no secondary sources, written primarily by one account. Can not find much on the internet to back up these claims made by the company website. Has enough information for me to not consider it a straight up speedy. Sasquatch t|c 18:13, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: I have also lumped the company founder, Sashi Reddi, and current president, Makarand Teje, in here as their notability hinges on this article. If this AfD results in a keep, I will re-list them separately. Sasquatch t|c 18:17, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:15, 4 April 2010 (UTC)AppLabs[reply]- This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 10:37, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep AppLabs, suggest merging the people articles into the business. Reliable sources would appear to back up the article's claim that this business was a pioneer in independent software testing[1] and the personnel seem to have some academic presence as well[2]. While I am generally sceptical about the notability of non-consumer tech businesses, there seem to be enough sources out there to meet the general consensus about which such businesses should be maintained. And if I think such a business is notable, it probably is. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:47, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
