I don't think this company satisfies WP:ORG. Number 18 software company in Seattle is just not enough, and I don't see enough coverage either. Muhandes (talk) 17:24, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Manta says that the company was founded in 2003 and has 50 employees. The article has several independent sources and doesn't seem like an advertisement, so I think we should keep it. NJ Wine (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:55, 22 May 2012 (UTC).[reply]
- Delete: I have to disagree with NJ Wine. This article reads like an advert to me (specifically a press release), and founding date and number of employees aren't indications of notability. As for the sources, the only one showing any notability is the second, which I had to look at on archive.org as it no longer exists on the site it was originally posted on, and even then the notability is minor. The other sources are an interview with the CEO of the business (not independent), a press release from the company (not independent) and the final three are about the business acquiring other businesses, none of which indicate any notability.

- The Npost, Allbusiness, and 4 Xconomy articles are all independent sources. I agree with you that a press release is not an independent source, but an interview with the CEO of a company by an unaffiliated media site is an independent source, as are news articles about the acquisition of other companies. NJ Wine (talk) 04:44, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The interview is not independent, due to the fact that they're talking with the CEO of the company. What I said about the acquisition articles was that they didn't indicate notability, not that they weren't independent. Total-MAdMaN (talk) 09:30, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I had previously tagged this for notability and not at all surprised to find it here. That said, Total-MAdMaN sums up the issues rather neatly, so I won't repeat them. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 14:39, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
