This article appears to fail WP:GNG - the only references are business registration information entries, and the business' Softpedia site. The business does not appear to be associated with any events that are encyclopedia-worthy.  Helenabella (Talk)  05:56, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

• Delete: A local firm going about its business, but no evidence that it meets the notability criteria. AllyD (talk) 06:39, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
• Delete - Multiple searches found nothing to suggest this company is notable. SwisterTwister talk 17:41, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
• KEEP - Company has published software to both Softpedia and WordPress.org more than was included in the wiki page, also references from government websites. Goldsboro Web Development cites Softpedia which in turn cites Wordpress.org which is verifiable sources that this company has created unique software which qualifies the company for inclusion under the condition of its software being encyclopedic material. It is more appropriate to flag this as a stub instead of deletion. Out of curisoty to why this was flagged for deletion and not a stub I checked out the innitiator's user profile and found he/she is a web/graphic designer him/herself and focuses contributions on deletion of web designers. This officially classifies as WP:CANVAS and WP:CONFLICT and should lead to a speedy keep. Company escapes WP:INHERITORG from resources: WOT, Wordpress.org/plugins, Angie's List, Better Business Bureau, and Softpedia. Company meets Wikipedia:Notability from having 200,000+ websites using their software. It is also noteworthy that other delete votes are of web designers and developers. This is indeed a WP:CANVAS and WP:CONFLICT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:A000:A5C0:8000:7916:9ED5:A7A:1E91 (talk)

• Please assume good faith and do not make unsubstantiated and unfounded allegations against other participants in this discussion. AllyD (talk) 14:45, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

• As you did? Leewells2000 (talk) 15:24, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

• KEEP - I referenced Super Captcha in a citation as proof that it is our software. I have yet to create a page for the notoriety of Super Captcha yet. It is a rule on Wikipedia to have Good Faith -- not bad faith which is the action of this nomination. Here is an example of the notoriety of Super Captcha, called the most secure text-based CAPTCHA by research from the University of Wollongong It takes 30 seconds to search this on Google. Bad faith = fail. Leewells2000 (talk) 12:08, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

• Comment: Notability of a firm is not demonstrated by business index listings, nor does notability inherit from use of the firm's product(s). Standard searches (Highbeam, Questia, Google) are not locating detailed discussion of Goldsboro Web Development but I'd be happy to revise my opinion above if some can be found.

• It is not inherited from USE of our firm's product(s), it is inherited from the RESEARCH of our firm's product(s). There is a very stark difference. Use of product is the popularity fallacy, accredited research is much less fallible. Again it is you who has bad faith here. You're using the ambiguity fallicy and trying to misrepresent the Wikipedia policy. The policy doesn't state that company's cannot be listed by merit of their products, it simply states that use of the product doesn't grant you a ticket. If I show statistics that our product is used on 4 million websites, it wouldn't help. However accredited and independent research to the merits of the PRODUCT is completely diffrent. Else how do indie game companies like Keen Software House make it to Wikipedia, exactly? Leewells2000 (talk) 15:33, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
