Non-notable per WP:COMPANY created by interested party. Attempt was made to delete via WP:PROD, but an IP who may be an interested party deleted template, so sending here for discussion. VictorianMutant(Talk) 09:32, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Nothing in the article indicates notability supported through significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Cindamuse (talk) 12:37, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This company might be notable (see Business Weekly, Telegraph, Reuters), but our article is written like an advert. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 13:25, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as advertisement. The article creator is User:Voicecommerce so there's a clear indication of a conflict of interest. The Telegraph source isn't an official article, it's an advertisement paid for by the company, with a line at the top categorising it under "sponsored". The Reuters reference is trivial, it only mentions that Voice Commerce is one out of forty other firms bidding for RBS' payment processing arm. Business Weekly (an obscure paper, not the much more well known Business Week) does have a non-trivial interview with the chief executive of Voice Commerce, but there needs to be more sources to satisfy WP:N. The rest of the results on GNews search are either PR releases (which aren't reliable sources) or trivial mentions.--hkr Laozi speak 14:07, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. This text is unambiguous advertising: The Voice Commerce Group allow consumers to use their own unique voice to sign and authorise transactions, guarantees transactional security and protects users against personal data compromise....The Voice Commerce Group use voice biometrics with transactional history, trends and patterns to create a highly secure, unique authorisation environment which can identity authentications virtually anywhere. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:03, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete company may be notable, but this is pure spam, delete and let someone without a COI create it someday. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:57, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
