Delete: An article contributed by a one-day editing account, User:Wpc-01. Highbeam returns a few pieces of 2005-8 coverage, but they are effectively product announcements, as are the Google returns. The claim to have been the first to ship a particular machine configuration, even if verifiable, is not notable in itself - some vendor must always be first - and I am seeing nothing to indicate that the firm itself attained WP:CORPDEPTH notability.

Comment. I was going to look into this last week when it was first listed, but I forgot. Here's what I found: Boston.com, The Register, The Register, CNET, PC World. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure about some of these sources because they seem to be borderline routine – new product announcements, essentially, though they do have the added weight of "first product to be shipped with this cool new tech". The first source, from Boston.com, is a bit meatier than the product announcements, but it's mostly about blind gaming. WidowPC seems like a tangential part of the article. I'm leaning toward keep, but I'm not quite there yet. Maybe I can find something later that is more than just a new product announcement. There are plenty of reviews of their products on Google News, but I haven't really taken the time to look over the results yet. I might do that later. I'm tired of reading through poorly-written gaming blogs and dry IT journals. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:12, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

keep Just notable enough for an article. The site's down but here's an archive of their awards page [[1]]. Their PCs do have a fair amount of reviews on mainstream sites. Deunanknute (talk) 22:29, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
keep. That the company is no longer independent but purchased by a holdings company is irrelevant to notability. Notability once established is permanent. DGG ( talk ) 12:18, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
