Actually, I tagged your page, SmarterTools for deletion, but I didn't actually delete it, Jimfbleak deleted it, as shown in the pages logs. If you want to try and get your work back, please contact him, as I only tagged the page, and did not delete the page myself.

To add to that, Akradecki deleted your other page, SmarterTools Inc., not me.

The SmarterTools article was. I believe, deletable on two counts

It made spammy claims that were not supported by independent verifiable sources, eg builds applications to simplify and automate the day-to-day operation of business. Half of the short article is listing the products.
There is no independent verifiable evidence that the company meets these guidelines.

I looked at the four companies you mentioned. I deleted one article, one is already listed for deletion, and one is fully referenced. Not sure whether the Ipswitch one bad enough for a speedy, so left for now. jimfbleak (talk) 09:03, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the version I deleted as you requested. If you want me to look at a different version, you should provide a link - this article has been created and deleted under a number of variants of its name. Similarly, a link to your sandbox would have been courteous. In the same vein, since the discussion is ongoing, I'm not sure why you have removed my previous posting from this page.

I looked at the sandbox version, and it is better than the deleted article. To establish notability is not, however, a matter of the number of references, and it would be good if you could add the number of employees and/or the turnover. A company with two employees and a turnover of US$10,000 is unlikely to be notable, whereas one with 100 employees and a turnover of US$10,000,000 probably is. Is it listed on NYSE or NASDAQ?

You are right about Parallels, but I've left it for now. jimfbleak (talk) 07:04, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
