Challenged prod. Very minor ERP and accounting software vendor. Some industry awards, but nothing to lift it past WP:MILL. Distinctly lacking in external sourcing too. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:24, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The article needs work, but there are plenty of reliable sources to establish notability per WP:CORP. For example, like this. Andrew327 20:46, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep. Not really minor software vendor. There is a huge market in India itself for accounting software, and Tally product along with Finnacle from Infosys are maximum sold accounting software here. And this is not new information, it was true 15 years back too.--GDibyendu (talk) 16:03, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- So where are the independent references, as required at WP? Andy Dingley (talk) 16:11, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Just because they are not used yet, does mean they don't exist - you cannot delete a page because most refs used are from primary sources, right? Check Google News and Google Books links, you'll see plenty.--GDibyendu (talk) 09:38, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep. Not sure about the "very minor" and "run-of-the-mill" reasoning above. The referencing is not great, but that is not at all unusual for south Asia related articles - the main problem is finding an external source that is not trying to sell it to you. I think it's one in need of improvement rather then deletion. Astronaut (talk) 15:23, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Sources such as this one are reliable and independent and is not routine. Not sure if there are others.--regentspark (comment) 21:24, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The WP:MILL essay cited in the nomination is a personal opinion piece that has attracted much more opposition than support, so is far from being a criterion that should be used in a deletion discussion. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:24, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
