Company vanity. Just one line and a hyperlink. --Radiant! 10:42, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC) Request withdrawn. Radiant! 08:17, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. $409 million turnover, $1.4 billion market capitalisation company. I've heard of it and I'm neither American nor in the IT sector, although I do read the New York Times business section on the web. I have expanded it slightly and categorised it. Philip 13:03, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. a Fortune 1000 company. ALKIVAR™
06:21, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC) - Keep and Expand. Significant company. Capitalistroadster 06:33, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. A significant company. In business terms and technology terms. A lot of the Internet backbone runs on equipment manufactured by these guys. --BM 15:23, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. -- AllyUnion (talk) 16:56, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, point taken. Since consensus seems clear (and the article has been expanded already), can I just withdraw the VFD marker I placed for this article? Or does that require a mod's attention? Radiant! 08:49, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: The general ettiquette is to show your desire to remove the nomination by striking through your comments above (using <s>text</s>). Removing the VfD tag early is severely frowned upon. Too often, it is a tactic used by vandals to try to disrupt the process. At the end of the 5 day discussion period, the nomination will go through the Wikipedia:Deletion process. If the consensus is still an overwhelming "keep" at that point, anyone (including you) can follow the process to close the discussion and remove the tag. Rossami (talk) 20:59, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
