A WP:PROMO page on an unremarkable private tech company. Significant RS coverage cannot be found to meet WP:CORPDEPTH; what comes up is largely PR driven link. Created by Special:Contributions/Exdejesus with few other contributions outside of the topic. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:12, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not familiar with how this process works, so I might not be putting this in the proper format. I'm curious whether articles about other small private companies in this same market, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CTERA_Networks , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzura , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avere_Systems , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StorSimple , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TwinStrata , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverbed_Technology , are also being considered for deletion. If not, I would find it helpful to learn some of the differences between the acceptable articles and the Nasuni article.

That other similar topics have their own articles is not valid reason to keep this one. Every article subject needs to prove its notability based on reliable sources to stay on Wikipedia. Articles in published magazines, coverage by renowned news sites, books or scholarly works about article subject are all reliable sources for Wikipedia.

Edit: I see Nasuni article has some references from RS (eg. The Register). I will review these and add more later (if there are more...). Pavlor (talk) 13:11, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My review of RS in the article:

First The Reg [1]: Mostly company (and its officials) about itself = weak source

Computerweekly [2]: company mentioned 2 times in one paragraph = passing mention as an example = weak source

Second The Reg [3]: mostly company (and its officials) about itself = weak source

Third The Reg [4]: About tests by the company - based on company report = somewhat better, still weak

Conclusion: Although article subject is mentioned in several reliable sources, this coverage is shallow at best.

Another source (not yet in the article; heise.de/iX magazine): [5] This one looks better than current sources (there is talk about limitations etc.) = useable RS Pavlor (talk) 17:11, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another source (not yet in the article; Ars Technica): [6] Analysis of similar test as in the third The Reg reference, but this time with more content = useable RS Pavlor (talk) 17:18, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Added the references mentioned from heise.de/iX and Ars Technica. Also added reference from InfoStor. Also added a reference to an article about how a notable customer compared solutionsthis reference also talks about the merits of other competitive technologies. Also added reference to Register article containing criticism by competitor TwinStrata. Exdejesus (talk —Preceding undated comment added 16:06, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

InfoStor looks useable (not much about Nasuni, but at least something), but I don´t know its reliability. Other added are passing mentions. Despite that, I´m leaning to keep. Pavlor (talk) 16:30, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep There are many reliable sources about subject of this article. Although their coverage is somewhat thin, I think they are sufficient to estabilish notability. Pavlor (talk) 16:54, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep agree, it is borderline and the article needs work. But they are still around and noticed in the trade press a decent amount, more than just repeating press releases. Needs an update too. W Nowicki (talk) 17:46, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment -- the page can be "improved" by removing the sections "History", "Products", "Customers" and "Awards" (i.e. all of them). The sources included are dubious such as Enterprise Strategy Group (self-published); The Register (channeling company news), etc. Once this is performed there would not be much left.

• Delete. Non-notable company, fails WP:ORG. Article is purely promotional. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 06:29, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
