TeraByte Unlimited (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log • AfD statistics)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Seems to fail WP:CORP. Also nominating their products:

• Image for Windows (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL). (Nomination is withdrawn for this one.) Note that a far more notable product with the same name, but different purpose exists, by Scion. It does not have a page here though.
• BootIt Next Generation (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL). Another product of this company.

• Weak Keep; I find at least "Image for Windows" in the top ten products, in this review [1], and in other software websites. --SF007 (talk) 19:08, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I found a couple of reviews for that one [2] [3], so withdrawing it from this nomination. Pcap ping 21:32, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete TeraByte Unlimited. fails the notability requirements of WP:ORG. There is no significant coverage in non-trivial, reliable secondary sources. I'd argue the deletion of both products on similar grounds. Wikipeterproject (talk) 21:43, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. Interesting enough this company has sued Microsoft over the "Bing" trademark because BootIt Next Generation abbreviates to "bing". The coverage is rather brief though. Pcap ping 23:04, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

• KeepRedirect - as per Pcap. They might be trying to spam Wikipedia through an SPA (as evident from this contrib log [4]), but notoriety is still a form of notability under WP:GNG. We'll just have to change the focus of the article. I've already put a {{subst:uw-spam4im}} on the SPA's talk page for putting external links in various articles (which is what WP:SPAM recommends). If he chooses to continue his behaviour we'll be forced to block him as, again, per WP:SPAM. Oh the irony... Smocking (talk) 20:55, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• After more digging: redirect to Bing (search engine). Since they were only the last of a bunch of companies to sue Microsoft over the Bing name, there is not enough coverage to warrant their own article. I suggest we make a section about the three lawsuits which also mentions the TeraByte Unlimited case in the Bing article (the guardian article is a reliable reference) and then redirect this article there. The irony just keeps on building... Smocking (talk) 21:10, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
