* '''Keep'''. I can’t see any advertising in this article <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/212.172.128.106|212.172.128.106]] ([[User talk:212.172.128.106|talk]]) 15:02, 27 November 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> {{spa|212.172.128.106}}

*'''Keep''' as the nomination reason (advertising) has been removed.

**''Disclaimer:'' I created this article in 2008. I also started the ILNumerics project and also participated in the founding of the related company in 2013. So I am biased, obviously.

**''Commercial:'' The fact, that a commercial entity is now supporting the project is not a reason to bann a topic from WP. (I do understand if some are angry for not receiving the same support for the free version anymore, though. But I don’t assume it relates to the topic here ...)

**''Advertising:'' if there was any in the article it has been completely removed. Btw: we did not edit the page for ages. We ''don’t'' see WP as marketing platform and will not change this perspective. Its less than 1% of our visitors coming from WP, btw.

**''Notability:'' [[WP:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)]] From the guide: „Notable means ...[that the] product has attracted the notice of reliable sources unrelated to the organization or product.“ This applies to all of: article<ref> https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/hh304368%28v=vs.100%29.aspx#hghg</ref> on [[Microsoft_Developer_Network|MSDN]], another one<ref> http://www.hanselman.com/blog/GeneratingComplexMathVisualizationsInSVGUsingCAndILNumerics.aspx</ref> by [[Scott Hanselman]], the cover story[[WP:AUD]]<ref> https://entwickler.de/windows-developer-magazin/dot-net-magazin-12-08-118599.html</ref> about ILNumerics in [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows.developer:DOT.NET Magazin]] 02/08, several reviews<ref> http://www.infoq.com/news/2014/05/ILNumerics</ref><ref> https://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/blog/Mastering-your-Net-Math-needs-with-ILNumerics </ref><ref>http://www.kdnuggets.com/2013/07/ilnumerics-high-performance-math-library-csharp-net.html</ref><ref>http://www.automatedtrader.net/articles/software-review/137332/software-review-ilnumerics-_-faster-numbers</ref><ref>http://insidebigdata.com/2014/01/21/ilnumerics-high-performance-math-library-c/</ref>, and there has been this award (10k EUR, best of DACH area)<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080117112203/http://basta-award.de/basta_award/diegewinner.xhtml</ref>. Download numbers of the GPL version mirrors as posted by [[Numbers303]] are verifiable on their respective (reliable, unrelated) sites. Together with codeplex<ref>http://ilnumericsnet.codeplex.com</ref> and sourceforge<ref> http://sourceforge.net/projects/ilnumericsnet/</ref> they sum up to ~10k something. (Internal numbers are not publicly verifiable, hence not counted here.)

**''Nomination proccess:'' Both, the speedy deletion request and the speedy deletion itself are questionable here. See the proposed procedure [[WP:ARTSPAM]]: „Blatant examples of advertising masquerading as articles can be speedily deleted.... Before trying to get an advertisement masquerading as an article deleted, please check the article's history to see if an acceptable revision exists there. If so, please revert to the latest acceptable version of the article.“ (There must be one from the past 8 years since its creation?) From [[WP:corp]]:

***"Clean up per [[Wikipedia:NPOV]],

***Erase remaining advertising content from the article,

***Delete the article by listing it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion ''if no notable content remains.'" But after removing all violating content<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ILNumerics.Net&oldid=691972256</ref> clearly notable content remains. So a deletion is not justified.
