Two recent deletion listings.
Tally, an article about an accounting software company that's been going for twenty years and has a number of major companies among its clients in its native India, including the Reserve Bank of India and the Indian IT giant, Infosys. And SuperOffice, about a public listed company (ticker code SUO on the Oslo Bors) with a turnover of some Euro 30m.
Easy keeps? No, deleted on AfD.
Turns out that the guy who listed them did so to make a point.
I summarily undeleted these articles--articles on such prominent companies should never have been deleted and the process that deleted them is clearly broken.
They have been redeleted. Twice.
I am utterly ashamed of the process and those who have deleted these good articles in the name of that process.
I have undertaken a bottom-up rewrite of both, but we should not be deleting such articles and we should not be forced through the silly pantomime of rewriting in order to keep articles about these companies on Wikipedia.
I beg to differ. The motive of the original nominator is besides the point. There's also the fact that the original articles did not make their status clear, so I think a rewrite would be necessary. (By the way, I "voted" to delete both articles on the original AfD.)
