Previously deleted by Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/24SevenOffice (second nomination), now re-creatd by Eggen ( talk · contribs) with no edit history outside this article save the one null edit required to start the counter for article creation and being edited by Sleepyhead81 ( talk · contribs), an employee of the company who made some difficulties last time round and, since deletion, has spent many hours purging redlinks and weblinks from software lists (no bad thing). So: this is almost certainly an example of gaming the system. On the other hand, there is some additional information in the article - it seems they have amassed a little bit of attention in the months since deletion. Much as I hate to reward vanity editors, it is probable that this now rises above the vanispamcruftisement threshold. I am, however, profoundly unhappy about Sleepyhead's apparent deviousness, since not only does he know that it could have been taken to DRV with a reasonable chance of success, but he's also been told that he should not be editing articles on subjects where he has a vested interest. I for one would have been happy to help Sleepyhead to get the article re-created, and so I am sure would Tony Sidaway. Hell, Tony would probably just have undeleted it. I'm bringing it here so we can have a formal endorsement for keep or delete; as it is it could be tagged as a re-creation by any passing editor with a memory.

I am biased so I wont add my vote but I think 24SevenOffice meets the criteria for notability for software:
- Media coverage. See the references as examples of media coverage in English. I can also provide an extensive list of media coverage in the Norwegian press (including the major financial and IT publications). The Publish.com article lists 24SevenOffice as one of five enterprise-ready web 2.0 apps. In Sydney Morning Herald (the largest newspaper in Australia) mentions 24SevenOffice and NetSuite as succesfull SaaS providers.
- The system have won several awards including 'Seal of Excellence' at CeBIT.
- The system is innovative as it is the first Ajax based ERP/CRM solution. 24SevenOffice used Ajax before the term was coined. NetSuite for example started using Ajax about six months ago.
- There exists wikipedia articles about 24SevenOffice in other languages: Norwegian (bokmål), Norwegian (nynorsk) and Swedish.
