"Notable customers" edit request

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi, I work for a communications firm that represents Palo Alto Networks and I'd like to request an addition to the "Notable customers" section of this article:

Palo Alto Networks has provided security services to Motorola (source), Exeter Financial (source), Brigham Young University–Hawaii (source), Neohapsis Labs (source), Health Information Technology Services – Nova Scotia (source), and HEAnet (source).

Due to my COI, I will not be editing the page directly. I'd greatly appreciate any help or feedback. Thank you! Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:23, 17 July 2015 (UTC), request edit template added Mary Gaulke (talk) 14:12, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Wikipedia is not a business directory. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:47, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Joseph2302: Thanks for the quick feedback; I completely see your reasoning. I'd also be grateful for your advice: In a case like this, where there's a designated "Notable customers" section, I'm kind of confused about what makes a customer "notable" and how to help make the section a more useful part of the article with more than one example. Would mentions of just a few of the more recognizable "names" (e.g. Motorola, 24 Hour Fitness, Qualcomm) make more sense? I've never encountered a situation quite like this before so any additional perspective would be helpful. Thanks again. Mary Gaulke (talk) 13:08, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed that section since it was unsourced and possibly contentious to begin with. If the intention was to balance it I guess we're good. I agree there's no need to include a list of customers unless they're something other than routine as for any company. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 16:58, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking a look - much appreciated. Mary Gaulke (talk) 13:57, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Name origin

Did Palo Alto Networks originate in Palo Alto, just north on Santa Clara? What is the origin of the company name and connection with Palo Alto, California? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.225.17.141 (talk) 17:39, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
