*'''Weak Delete''' There are a couple of articles in Chinese that mention the company ([http://pcedu.pconline.com.cn/407/4074757.html] and [http://news.sina.com.tw/article/20131219/11394700.html]). This first seems press release-y. The second one also seems somewhat like a press release, though it discusses some kind of award for one of their products, Foxit Reader, but I'm not sure that it's a particularly important award. There is [http://www.mbda.gov/node/1002 a listing from MBDA] showing the company won an award for being a "Minority Global Technology Firm" award-- though it tied with another organization. I might be inclined to support keeping the article if there is some more substantial coverage of the company itself.

  • Weak Delete There are a couple of articles in Chinese that mention the company ([1] and [2]). This first seems press release-y. The second one also seems somewhat like a press release, though it discusses some kind of award for one of their products, Foxit Reader, but I'm not sure that it's a particularly important award. There is a listing from MBDA showing the company won an award for being a "Minority Global Technology Firm" award-- though it tied with another organization. I might be inclined to support keeping the article if there is some more substantial coverage of the company itself. I, JethroBT drop me a line 23:04, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
