AppLabs

Indian software company of no clear notability. Tagged for notability for over two years, an inconclusive AfD a year ago. No refs, 4 ELs, two of which are clear SPS, two are advertorial interviews in trade magazines. This company exists, but so do a great many other non-encyclopedic companies. This article might be adequate for a business directory, but it is far from being appropriate, in either quality or sourcing, for an encyclopedia.

There are two related articles on the founder and president Sashi Reddi & Makarand Teje. I would consider these for AfD too. Makarand Teje was already converted to a redir by the previous AfD. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:53, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep The company is a leader in the software testing industry but the article needs additional details and in-line citations to help establish this notability. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:53, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In what way are they "leaders"? Technically they're way behind good practice and are still heavily dependent upon the "infinite number of monkeys" method of lots of manual typing. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:45, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only sources appear to be those reprinting press releases announcing the company had been bought by CSC and some very minor mentions. It takes more than this kind of routine coverage to meet WP:GNG. Msnicki (talk) 16:33, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
