Non-notable organization. Nothing significant than some company like over thousands in the world. For being in Wikipedia need to be much more significant than this. Else Wikipedia will become a directory for companies like this. Light2021 (talk) 17:43, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Improve or Delete: The company may be notable but the article needs to show additional references from reputable and ideally international or national media. Current reference list is lacking of those from what I can see. If those can be added ASAP to demonstrate notability, I suggest we keep the article. If not, delete it. Coverage of notable software companies undoubtedly adds value to various wikipedia readers. Newtonslaw40 (talk) 16:15, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:PROMO; a product brochure in the form of a Wikipedia article. No indications of notability or significance. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:25, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:INSIGNIFICANCE and a Wikipedia search on the topic refutes your claim that the topic is insignificant.
Desktop Virtualization states, "Forrester Research identified in its report the Forrester Wave on Server-Hosted Virtual Desktops (VDI), Q3 2015 [3] the seven most significant software providers, being Citrix, Dell, LISTEQ, Microsoft, Nimboxx, Oracle, and VMware."

Analyst firms, including Forrester, do not have a reputation for fact checking. These reports are based on briefings by the companies in questions; the firms do not independently do their analysis. I would not consider "named as one of 7 providers in a niche market by an industry analyst firm" to be sufficient for establishing encyclopedia notability. Forrester in this case is not RS, and it may be a primary source; I believe that's how reports and monographs are treated, being self-published by Forrester in this case.

Your proof by assertion was that there were "no indications of...significance" for LISTEQ. I've shown you two different definitions which were more than "indications" that the topic was significant. For the second you've switched to talking about notability. Unscintillating (talk) 02:53, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
