Admitted self-promotion (see article history). Unless notability can be established, delete. - Mike Rosoft 08:23, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- delete. Also note that almost all user contribs were some form of linkspam (own websites, affiliate links, etc.) Han-Kwang 09:14, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

- I have two added Magazine references for the company website. Where an article for the company appeared in two internationally published publications. Hopefully this is adequate to establish notability. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fiach6383 (talk • contribs).
- Delete per nom. I tried following the links mentioned above, they go to websites which don't mention the indicated titles, and nor do the alleged authors names appear with anything like those titles. Tychocat 16:33, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- The referenced material are printed magazines, not websites. The websites quoted are the publishing companies for both of the magazines. www.vsj.co.uk is the publishing company for "Visual Systems Journal" amd www.internationalDeveloper.com is the publishing company for "International Developer" magazine. Back issues of either magazines will show an article about my company on the specifiied pages.
- Harry Fairhead is in an author for VSJ, a google search http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=harry+fairhead+&btnG=Google+Search&meta= should show that
- Similarly, Andrew pearsons states that he is an editor for International Developer on his blog http://www.amazon.com/gp/blog/id/A1NG671UDGOIMT/002-4584802-5667245

- Comment. I am well aware the websites represented magazines. I also know both Harry Fairhead and Andrew Pearsons are writers. Neither the above links, nor the links in the article, show either Pearsons or Fairhead wrote stories of the titles given in the citations. If you have direct URLs for the stories you say were written about the company, please give those. I'm still seeing an advertisement trying to sneak into WP. Tychocat 05:03, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
