- Comment This article had been a restored Prod but a significant part of its content was a paste of the text from the company website where it is marked as Copyright; I've removed that text. (If there is a claim to notability in the article, it would appear to be around the company's ComplianceOnline site.) AllyD (talk) 07:58, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I was unable to find any indpendent coverage, only press release after press release. If there are sources that i miseed in wading through the mass of PR pieces, please bring them forward for evaluation. -- Whpq (talk) 16:47, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - My search also only turned up company press releases or stuff that is based on them. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 18:02, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I prodded this after a guy whose AfC I declined called my attention to some WP:OTHERCRAP that he modeled his submission after. I agreed that this was no better than his and have been unable to locate independent sources of the depth required to confirm notability sufficient to ensure that any biases could be corrected.

- Delete: another IT business advertising itself on Wikipedia with nothing indicating its impact or at least differentiating it from the rest of similar businesses. – Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 00:24, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment on July 18 sourced additions to Awards and Media sections: Sources 4 and 5 are uninteresting press releases. Source 6, while a primary source for the rating, has enough substance that it could be used as a secondary source for the product itself. Though the Media section asserts that, "MetricStream and its executives have been often featured ...", this is disingenuous. Sources 7-9 show that CEO Archambeau has been interviewed about various topics unrelated to MetricStream, while 10 and 11 are press releases reprinted without editorial oversight. Since WP:GNG asks for sources (plural) and only one of these is usable, my delete vote above still stands. Kilopi (talk) 20:19, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
