An article about an alert management company. The article is effectively a brochure of their product features, sourced to pages on their own former website (now only a Workpress placemarker) and to obsolete announcements elsewhere. Searches find a 2016 article by one of the executives (so a primary source), but not evidence that the firm attained notability. AllyD (talk) 08:26, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. I did not find multiple sources satisfying WP:NCORP's WP:SIRS test. The article is mainly sourced to the company's own material, business directories, and sources about particular products or installations. The SecurityInfoWatch piece identified by the nominator was written by MessageNet co-founder Jerry Geis, so it is not independent. The older coverage I found includes a brief product notice and a company announcement, rather than significant coverage of the company itself. These sources may verify individual products and installations, but they do not establish the company's standalone notability. Metalicat (talk) 09:20, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

- Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "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. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 13:53, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
