135:- Article fails to assert notability. Article makes very unspecific claims to notability without references. Company was taken over in 1997. Notability isn't conferred or inherited, but this article appears to be about a small company that was bought by a big company, with no indication as to why the small company is notable. Recently tagged as CS7 speedy delete, as an editor claimed that the unreferenced claim "Aldiscon is historically significant to the mobile sector", is sufficient to establish notability.
268:, something that hundreds of millions of people now use every day. I would also advise people to check out the references, as I don't see how anyone could do that and not see how this was a notable company. And please, Bardcom, stop using the word "assert" when you clearly don't know what it means.
243:- I'd advise people to check out the references included. To my mind, they do nothing to assert notability, and it's a lot of noise to divert from the core issue. @Phil, we can easily cut to the chase on this - can you summarize here what is notable about this company? --
285:- @Phil, you previously asked for a definition and I've provided you one from dictionary.com. Snippy comments such as the one above do not help a civilised conversation. Also, checking the articles
