The article is wrote like an advert and has no clear citations it could also be submitted the article creator has a COI //Melonite (talk) 17:49, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete Does not appear to meet requirements for notability. JNW (talk) 21:33, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete- Article lacks 3rd party citations establishing notability. The Tribune India article has only incidental mention of the software, and is instead about an award reception. None of the other cites are neutral 3rd party info. Dialectric (talk) 21:44, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment, if deleted, redirect to Kayako Saeki, as the ghost Kayako from The Grudge is almost certainly the thing people in the English speaking world think of (or "Kayako" as a Japanese name, then referring to the ghost) 70.29.212.226 (talk) 04:36, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment I am the person who talk has cited as the major contributor with a potential COI. I am a Kayako customer, which I don't think gives me a COI. I a bias maybe, but not a COI. I do not think my bias is reflected in the article, either. I've put enough time into the article, I've tried to clean it up as talk suggested. Hatter87 (talk) 00:02, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

*Delete - Article seems biased and like an advert BigDaveo (talk) 00:42, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep - with this many desks out there how can it not be a notable vendor? http://www.google.com/search?q="by+kayako" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.117.110.56 (talk • contribs)
  • Keep (From a Kayako user) I am sure that Kayako is a notable company. [http://www.cebit.de/eps09_pages_en?reiter=1&id=MjAwNzE1MTM= Kayako CeBit presence], [http://www.webhostbootcamp.net/exhibitors/Kayako.php Kayako WebHostBootCamp 2009 presence]. There are third party products, services and companies dedicated to services for Kayako software [http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/31473/ticketalert #1], [http://www.dewak.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=22&Itemid=44 #2], [http://www.supportmods.com/ #3], [http://www.modern-help.com/kayako-configuration.php #4], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJW5cS9SWKQ #5 (screencast)...]. Surely if the likes of vBulletin, Zendesk, DisTract are sufficiently notable, Kayako must be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.19.153.130 (talk • contribs)
  • If you have any references, add them to the article... not just here Hatter87 (talk) 14:45, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment' I would like to note that //Melonite and BigDaveo have been blocked due to sock pupetting. Other puppets of Melonite may have added this discussion, too. Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Melonite/Archive Hatter87 (talk) 14:45, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Given that two anonymous IPs have come out of retirement to comment on this & the accusation of sock puppetry, I'd like to remind everyone that this is not a vote. --Karnesky (talk) 17:33, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep There do seem to be some sources buried in the [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=Kayako+-grudge&cf=all google news search]. If kept, this article should be improved to read less like an advertisement. Including a mention that [http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/031207-hosting-company-hit-by-hack.html it was responsible for bringing down Servers Australia in 2007] might help make the article more neutral. --Karnesky (talk) 17:40, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
