Notability

[edit]

This company is rather obscure, but then so is the niche market in which it operates. However, that is not to say that there are absolutely no references to it on the Internet. [1] [2] --GentlemanGhost (talk) 21:24, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just being mentioned on another obscure website (ref 1), which is not a WP:RS does not satisfy the general notability guideline. Your second linked reference is about another company and does not even mention Lauterbach - not sure why you included it. OccamzRazor (talk) 22:00, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you search for "Lauterbach", you should be able to see the reference. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 02:17, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The company partakes in trade shows globally every month.[3] It has been around for 25 years, and sales worldwide amounts to USD $83 Million with representation in 6 countries.[4] It fulfills every criterion on being notable. Nixdorf (talk) 08:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Age of a company, it's revenue and participation in trade shows (even if global) are not "criteria" for notability on Wikipedia. As far as I know, there is only one notability "criterion" -- the Wikipedia general notability guideline which states the following:
"If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be notable."
Additional information regarding the establishmen of notability is included in the wikilink. No coverage of this company by reliable, independent sources has been included in the article, therefore notability has not been established. As the article's creator, perhaps you can expand the article with properly sourced information that does so. OccamzRazor (talk) 22:00, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Company was renamed to Lauterbach GmbH in 2009

[edit]

"Lauterbach Datentechnik GmbH" was renamed in 2009 to just "Lauterbach GmbH" (see http://www.lauterbach.com/profile.html)

Maybe some admin can rename the article? 92.231.45.4 (talk) 18:57, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article was moved per this comment, and moved again to the current title Lauterbach (company) per the article titles policy. --Joshua Issac (talk) 12:27, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability redux

[edit]

I just removed some stale puff language from lead. For a barely notable article, that was playing with fire to drift into brochure language.

Embedded is a bit of a weird fishbowl. One could almost argue that Segger Microcontroller Systems is barely notable outside this fishbowl. Lauterbach shows up in all the same places (industry partners and related trade publications/newswires), but not at the same intensity.

One Segger product, the Segger J-Link has broad penetration into the hardware enthusiast community. These are usually people who moonlight on both sides of the fence: doing enough professional work to afford the basic professional tools, but also publishing a blog with exotic hardware projects as a hobby endeavour.

By the standards of Wikipedia, the Segger J-Link is probably more notable on Google than the Segger corporation itself.

  • Microchip market cap (2020): $25.6 billion
  • STM market cap (2020): $26.6 billion
  • NXP market cap (2020): $33.8 billion

You can't really spend much time within this $85 billion fishbowl without encountering Lauterbach.

Outside of this fishbowl, nobody much gives a SFA. — MaxEnt 17:10, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
