*'''keep''' Talend meets [[Wikipedia:NSOFT|notability criteria]]. I will be editing the article to add secondary sources listed above. [[User:Jim380|Jim380]] ([[User talk:Jim380|talk]]) 16:56, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

*'''keep Talend and expressor'''
Interesting discussion here. Like Talend, expressor is a new entrant with substantial VC backing in the established market for data integration and ETL products -- a fact both companies can and have proven with numerous, industry-specific references. An editor here noted that Talend has only received coverage in IT-related publications -- but those are exactly the kind of objective, secondary sources of information that not only confer notability within this IT market segment, but they are also the kind of secondary research buyers seek when evaluating a solution. (And since it competes in the same market, it is not surprising that expressor cited many of the same sources, such as [[Gartner]], in its entry.) By deleting entries for companies such as Talend and expressor (not to mention other similar entries for [[Pentaho]],[[Apatar]] and [[Jitterbit]]) for non-notability, you are ensuring that Wikipedia readers can only find information here on the largest vendors and products, and therefore get a skewed and inaccurate picture of objective reality.

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

Non-notable tech business. Speedily deleted twice before as advertising. Current version shows some essentially trivial announcements circulated in IT-related sources ([1][2]) but the first looks like a recirculated press release and the second is in fact a blog. Other sources are all IT industry related, not enough to confer general notability. Not sure that claiming to be the first commercial open source vendor of data integration software is a sufficient claim of historical or technical importance.
