Delete As the article stands, and I had to go back several revisions to see it, the sources within it are either primary sources or press release material. I can see no independent sources asserting or verifying notability. I think we are at a stage of 'not yet, maybe never' for notability. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 20:24, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Cnx-software is about embedded devices I addedd a link, that is an analysis using press release and speak a lot of HiSilicon (they search using google.com/cse is blacklisted here) without press release (on exhibition show, and computer/phone makers using their device). The Linaro press release is from Linaro, not from HiSilicon. Some other are from ARM, not from HiSilicon. Digitimes (search on their site, article are for member only), wrote about 20 articles about HiSilicon.Popolon (talk) 19:01, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The chinese name of this company gets a lot of ghits. I don't read chinese and I know bugger all about the semiconductor industry, but my sense is that this that the problem here is that the sources are all in chinese rather than english. Can the article be moved to Wikipedia:AfC or somewhere to accumulate refs? Stuartyeates (talk) 05:10, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why for create a new one, if there is already one ? I spent lot of time to get all this informations.Popolon (talk) 11:59, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't know what the state of the article was when it was CSD'd but there are at least three English-language references there that would put it past WP:CORP. I'd say this company is notable enough. §FreeRangeFrog 03:13, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete There is some puffery, and the notability of the article is borderline. If there are more (good) sources introduced, i will change my position. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 20:59, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
