[edit] Hypercom

Hypercom (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This reads like an advertisement; This is a non-notable company; This is an orphan article; same reasons as NTSwincash Timneu22 (talk) 11:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete agree with nom regarding advertising and seems un-notable - Dumelow (talk) 13:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep rewrite as needed. Hypercom is a major manufacturer of credit card terminals. One of the top two or three, I think. See http://www.hypercom.com/about/ Certainly a notable firm. --Alfadog (talk) 15:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletion discussions. —Longhair\talk 22:31, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, a multi-national company and a leader in their (admittedly, niche) field. Could use a bit of a rewrite, but it's not that terrible as it is. Lankiveil (talk) 00:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC).
  • Keep per Lankiveil and Dumelow. Entity has reasonable case for notability, just needs a re-write. Thewinchester (talk) 12:34, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as a major multinational corp; notability asserted. — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 10:08, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No references to back up notability claims, links only to company's own website (and "accessory partner"). Fails WP:V and is borderline spam. Precious Roy (talk) 01:03, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
    I have to agree with Precious Roy. If this is such a notable company as everyone here is claiming, why is the only link to the article from the list of point of sale companies article? Shouldn't this be a more "linked-to" article if it is so noteworthy? Timneu22 (talk) 16:52, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep seems to be a major internationally trading company. The article needs sources not deleting.Garrie 11:34, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
