This reads just like a sales ad and looks to me like blatant advertising DanielCD 02:39, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: appears to be advertising to me too. There are plenty of computer manufacturers all over. What makes this one worthy of an encyclopaedia article? Howie ☎ 02:51, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Keep based on rewrite (see comments below). Howie ☎ 13:28, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - pretty clearly self-promotional. Tim Pierce 03:13, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Keep based on rewrite and on news links posted below -- I am not convinced that it's a notable company per WP:CORP, but think that a policy of "when in doubt, don't throw it out" is wise.

- Abstain. I removed the advertising, but that leaves a very barebones stub. I am not sure it will ever evolve into a full article. Movementarian 05:43, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as rewritten by User:Movementarian. — JIP | Talk 09:05, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, now that the blatant advertising has been removed. Around 140k hits for "Voodoopc"/"voodoo pc". Several recent news hits seem to indicate compliance with WP:CORP. Nezbie 09:30, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep significant if small computer company. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 12:09, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and Expand - I was going to vote for delete until I found this article on news.com.com. It seems that the company in question has some notoriety because of their "whistle blowing" of Intel's strong arm tactics against AMD. But have in mind that my keep vote depends solelly on the coverage of this issue and that this coverage is a center point of the article. If it isn't added then Delete it is --Mecanismo 12:21, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep they advertise in major PC magazines and are notable on gaming sites. Luigi30 (Ταλκ) 17:07, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep not every systems integrator deserves an entry, but this one has been around for nearly 15 years, has a web presence, and advertises in major magazines. Firebug 17:57, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Perhaps I was a little impulsive in the nomination, seeing all the keep votes. However, when I nominated it, it looked like a price list. It looks much more appropriate now. --DanielCD 20:55, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
