The result was No consensus. If these new found references were added to the article as opposed to just being listed here it would go a long way towards avoiding another AfD in the future though. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:48, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find significant independent coverage that would indicate this company passes WP:GNG. Haakon (talk) 14:37, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Reference to The Australian is a routine announcement of a contract award, and seems to be based on information supplied by the business.[1] "Econsultancy: Digital Marketers United" hardly seems like a reliable source [2], and has limited circulation and interest in any case. This is more enterprise content management. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:16, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the article, I don't see anything that suggests they actually pass WP:CORP. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:24, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Beside the article in The Australian, I found one in The Sydney Morning Herald, [3] [4] [5] ZDNet Australia, [6] Computerworld Australia. As this article explains, it's a significant player in the Australian market; not really a surprise if you consider that support and customization a significant factor for such software. Those articles indicate that the Aussie gov't uses it as 'whitebranded' software. Could not find product review though. Pcap ping 06:22, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No reviews via Clusty (that I could find). Others searching for independent coverage may be helped by noticing that the company seems to have a number of sites, so try searching -site:squiz.net -site:squiz.com.au -site:squiz.co.uk -site:squiz.co.nz . I didn't turn up anything significant that's not in the article or already mentioned by PCap (white papers, further CMSWire articles about e.g. their white papers.)
