The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP.

• Keep. References 9 through 12 and the first three external links seem to be in-depth coverage from reliable sources. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:05, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eastmain, "in-depth coverage from reliable sources" omits the ORGIND requirement for "Independent Content". Anyway, not sure if you're just pulling our legs but reference 9 has no information whatsoever about the company (has a little about the product but that's not the topic of this article) and relies entirely on an interview with Nien-Ling Wayman, president of Compulink Management Center Inc., who are resellers so not "Independent Content", fails ORGIND. So, can you describe for me the content of any of the other two which isn't a quote (from either the company or from Compulink the reseller) or a standard boilerplate company description (which has no in-depth information)? Perhaps you can reconsider your !vote? HighKing⁺⁺ 21:05, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Eastmain. Can't access the books, but the Network Computing and GCN articles look like WP:SIGCOV. NemesisAT (talk) 16:51, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NemesisAT, the appropriate guideline is NCORP so both WP:CORPDEPTH *and* WP:ORGIND must be satisfied by each reference used to establish notability. Your first reference from Netword Computing doesn't say anything at all about the company as its a review of three products so fails WP:CORPDEPTH. The second reference, similarly, says nothing about the company at all as it is an article about a customer's experience with the product, also fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Can you reconsider your !vote?

• Keep - having seen the "WP:NCORP is Alpha and Omega" argument elsewhere, I'm entirely unconvinced. We're talking about a company whose name is common parlance in particular industries because integration and alignment with their products is the standard for that industry. End users talk about "creating Laserfiche documents" and "converting from Laserfiche" in a manner that suggests that its not just notable among those industries, but well known. Comprehensive coverage of the subject's products, by way of reviews, is an obvious indication of notability and the shortsightedness of WP:NCORP, and the rigid application of that guideline (yes, guideline, not suicide pact), is disingenuous. Let the bludgeoning begin. St★lwart¹¹¹ 11:25, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I couldn't find in-depth coverage of the company itself and [1], [2], [3] are not enough to pass WP:NCORP. Even though LaserFiche software passes WP:PRODUCT with [4] and [5], that doesn't pertain to WP:NCORP for the company. Heartmusic678 (talk) 14:47, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
