Written like an advert, dubious notability, sources are either tangential in nature or first party press releases. FASTILY 21:18, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep How the article is written is not a notability criteria. The company is one of the largest supporting open source development. Between its editor, IDE and language support it is likely to gerner GNG support. A quick search reveals several articles on ActiveState: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The following mostly discuss their products, but the company is also discussed, and this is the inverse of WP:NOTINHERITED [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]. If this is kept, which I would argue it should be, Fastly should be the one to improve the article for not doing WP:BEFORE. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:13, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep References meet the criteria for establishing notability. There are at least two independent sources that provide details of the company and their products. HighKing++ 17:12, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
