Basically known for one stunt for which he received routine non-lasting coverage. There currently is no reference online that covers this stunt though the article claims it was covered at least in the Miami Daily News. His career as an actor consists of secondary roles in low-budget movies. The latter part of his life is currently impossible to verify properly. Pichpich ( talk) 23:58, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Normally, this is a merger to Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo.

" It was deprodded by User:Ser2koc (creator, WP:SPA, self-identified as subject of the article-> WP:AUTOBIO) with no rationale.

Article on a journal that has produced 4 volumes since 2005 (the last one in 2011), without any indication whether it is still functional or not (besides the fact that its website is still online). It seems deceptively well sourced following reference bombing after the article was PRODded. At this moment, the article contains no less than 16 references, as follows. 1/ The faculty page of the editor, mentioning his editorship of the journal and his publications therein. 2/ Trivial non-selective index. 3/ The journal's "about page, consisting of a list of editorial board members and one line of 10 words (which, BTW, does not even support the first phrase of the article). 4/ A brief review in an Australian journal of the first issue of the journal. 5/ Another faculty page for the editor, mentioning the journal. 6/ An article on Rutherford, with one citation to an article that appeared in this journal. 7/ An article about Rutherford that appeared in this journal. 8/ A search of GBooks, showing a rather modest number of citations to articles published in the journal. None of the search results is about the journal itself. Even ignoring the current discussion at Wikipedia talk:NJournals, this does not indicate a pass of criterium 2. 9/ Trivial, non-selective database. 10/ Mirror of the journal homepage. 11/ Dead link to Intute website, which was a non-selective database. 12/ List of external links on a website dedicated to Alan Turing, maintained by the editor of the journal. 13/ Listing of the journal and some articles from it without any further discussion. 14/ Listing in a bibliography. 15/ A website hosted by WordPress reproducing some photos from the journal, which is otherwise not mentioned. 16/ Another WordPress blog quoting two articles from the journal.
As outlined above,the 16 sources in the article do not provide the multiple independent reliable sources providing in-depth discussion of the journal needed to meet WP:GNG. None of the databases mentioned is a selective database in the sense of WP:NJournals. Therefore this fails both GNG and NJournals. Hence: Delete. Randykitty ( talk) 04:24, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Appears to be a small conference in Tehran mostly centering on the (groundbreaking I'm sure) topics of how the US and Jews are bad, and Iran is good. Basically zero news coverage outside of the cited PressTV (state owned and literally the only legal Iranian television broadcaster apparently) that I can find, even searching for the name in Persian doesn't improve the outlook there. Coverage in Press TV is even less surprising and probably of even less consequence since speakers Mardhiah Hashemi and Caleb Maupin appear to be closely connected.
Nothing that I can find to indicate that this is a notable event even in Iran, much less anywhere else.
Hard to comment further, because there's such little coverage it's difficult to tell anything about the event at all. TimothyJosephWood 18:17, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Classic WP:BLP1E. Sources focus more in the event than on the person. The fact is that this article don't meet the criteria WP:NN. The person is "notable" because of one event and the "notability" pretty much died out once the media turned away. Other than this one event, there is nothing that indicates notoriety, with pretty much no reliable or independent sources that indicate that. Sources don't go any deeper as to point out any notoriety or if the repercussions of his actions were that serious. Article maily uses the website "reddit" as a source, wich is not the best, by far.

At first glance it looks like we have a lot of sources on Martell. However these all add up to just saying "look, a women who is bald was a contestant in Miss America". This can be covered in the entry on her in the Miss Delaware page in the notes, and actually is. There is no justification for having a stand alone article. If the coverage had extended beyond when she was a Miss America contestant and showed sustained notability as an advocate for these causes, we could justify this article, but it does not, so we cannot.

Literally a blatant advertisement not only given the overfocused information, but also the fact it's clear the company contributed to this, in both with its employees and a company account, see "Capillary1", and that's basically sufficient to delete alone with WP:NOT policy. After this, we then consider the fact everything is literally advertising, either published or republished, therefore showing none of it can be taken seriously, and we certainly shouldn't since we know the damages of advertising here. Searches unsurprisingly showed nothing but such blatant PR, therefore the WP:NOT policy still applies. To even explain, note how the consistency of all sources focus with company advertising, and damned in these assured, "The amazing story of this company and what they say" is one of them.

*Keep The main concerns with this entry were edits made by an apparent internal employee of the company in question as “Capillary1”, the content which did not have a neutral point of view and links to non authoritative websites. The issues seem to have been fixed now where the Overfocused information written by User ‘Capillary1’ have been removed and general information available on trustworthy news sources has been added, satisfying WP:NPOV. I don't agree with SwisterTwister’s comment stating - ”sheer blatancy of publishing whatever the company asked for, not what genuine news needed” since most of the information mentioned on the wiki page has trustworthy and valid citations . According to me, the tone of history section and the rest of the sections seem quite generic and neutral that satisfies WP:NOT. The citations now point to authoritative external sources which are not paid advertisements but trustworthy news coverages and this satisfies WP:NOT. It was also stated that the mentioning of the Financing of the company violates WP:NOT but these are significant events in the company history. A google search makes it evident that there are trusted business publication references and satisfies WP:ORG. — Preceding

The company is quite a renowned one and has progressed quite well in last couple of years. The references of the page are to prestigious publications in India and abroad, and it will be hasty to term them as advertisement.

*Keep Every source that can be found from a Google search and also the cited references show that the company is Headquartered in Singapore. A little bit of digging in web shows that the company operates globally and has a bulk of its market and operations outside of Singapore which explains why this company is mentioned more outside of Singapore. It also has been cited by trusted sources such as Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Fortune, Gartner, TechCrunch etc which have written in length on why the company is significant, satisfying WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:CORPIND. Therefore Not having references from one particular Newspaper (Straits Times in this case) or from one particular region(Singapore) is not sufficient ground to call an article not good enough for WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:CORPIND. Moreover, the article in its current state seems to have a neutral POV with sources cited even if it has been edited by several SPAs. (SPAs are not against Wikipedia Policies as long as they stick to the code, follow the guidelines and write from a neutral POV).

The article notes:
At a time when several investors are placing bets on Indian enterprise software product startups, Capillary Technologies, which provides cloud-based software solutions for retailers, is faced with multiple road-blocks in its seventh year of operation.
While sources have earlier said that Capillary's co-founder Krishna Mehra is on his way out of the company due to differences with other founders, it is now learnt that a second (of the three) co-founders, Ajay Modani, has also decided to step down.
...
Capillary Technologies enables retail marketers to manage customer data, gather insights from the same and personalise engagements through social media, mobile, e-mail, online, and in store channels. The company is backed by marquee venture capital investors such as Norwest Venture Partners, Sequoia Capital, and Qualcomm Ventures.
It was also the first Indian company in which American Express Ventures invested earlier this year. Capillary Technologies has so far raised around $34 million in institutional funding rounds, as per online startup database CrunchBase.
According to the company's website, its clients include retail giants such as Marks & Spencer, Nike, Puma, Raymond, Peter England and Lifestyle, along with food chains like Pizza Hut and Faaso's.
The article notes:
Two college buddies drop out of their jobs, tinker around with a few ideas, and come up with just the product customers were looking for. Aneesh Reddy and Krishna Mehra came up with the name ‘Capillary’ before they had any idea what the business would be. But after a couple of early ‘pivots’ around shopping ‘deals’ and licenced, on-premise retail CRM (customer relationship management), they hit the sweet spot: A hosted, pay-as-you-go retail CRM that builds a world of data and intelligence around each customer, using mobile phone numbers as identifiers. No new terminals, no servers, no customised implementations—just actionable analytics, like suggesting an instant 15 percent discount on trousers to a customer who’s buying shirts.
...
Capillary is used across nearly 10,000 stores today, and handles over 2.5 terabytes of data across 15 million customers.
...
Till it raised a mammoth Series A funding of $15.5 million in September, Capillary was mostly under the radar, thanks to $1.5 million in angel funding from 17 different investors across the world.
The article notes:
AMERICAN Express Ventures, the venture capital arm of the well-known credit card company, has made its first investment in a Singapore software firm.
It has teamed up with venture capital firms Sequoia Capital, Norwest Venture Partners and Qualcomm Ventures to invest in Capillary Technologies. According to US tech blog Techcrunch, the total investment was US$15.5 million (S$19.6 million).
Capillary Technologies sells software to help retailers understand customers' buying behaviour. It will use the funds to expand into new markets such as the United States and Australia.
...
Capillary moved to Singapore nearly three years ago from Bangalore, India, where it was founded.
The article notes:
LOCAL startup Capillary Technologies, which makes customer relationship management (CRM) cloud-based software, recently bagged close to $5 million in funding from American Express (Amex) Ventures, in what it claims is the latter's first investment in the region.
The funds will be used to expand Capillary's services in existing markets including Singapore, India and the US, as well as open new offices in Australia and China this year, chief executive officer Aneesh Reddy told The Business Times.
...
To-date, Capillary has raised over $20 million since its launch in 2008.
The global CRM software market is forecast to hit US$36.5 billion by 2017, according to global information technology research firm Gartner.
The article notes:
CAPILLARY Technologies, a Singapore-based customer relationship management (CRM) start-up, is going places - and literally too. It recently bagged US$14 million in Series B funding - one of the highest amounts by a Singapore start-up - in a round led by US-based Sequoia Capital and Norwest Venture Partners.
Existing investors Qualcomm Ventures and American Express Ventures also participated, taking Capillary's total funding to over US$30 million to date. The start-up now manages enterprise customers in some 16 countries worldwide, having entered new markets such as the US, Australia and South Africa shortly after it raised US$14 million Series A funding in 2012.
...
The start-up's latest clients include Marks & Spencer, KFC Singapore, Lacoste, Keedo and Courts. This brings its total client count to more than 150 major brands across 10,000 retail locations, and total reach to over 100 million consumers globally. With the Series B money, Capillary will enhance its product offerings, enter new markets and expand headcount.
The article notes:
Capillary Technologies, the Singapore-based social CRM company, has raised a $45 million Series C to fuel its evolution into a omnichannel retail platform. The round was led by Warburg Pincus with participation from returning investors Sequoia Capital and Norwest Venture Partners and brings Capillary’s total funding so far to $79.1 million.
Most of the capital is earmarked for the acquisition of e-commerce software platform MartJack, which significantly expands Capillary’s online retail capabilities. Capillary also announced the purchase of Ruaha Labs, a machine learning startup.
...
Capillary is currently targeting expansion in India, China, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the United States. Increasing its SaaS offerings means that Capillary now competes more closely with companies such as SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce.
The article notes:
Capillary Technologies, a social CRM company that helps retailers engage over mobile, email, social and in-store channels, is announcing the close of $15.5 million in Series A funding led by Sequoia Capital and Norwest Venture Partners with Qualcomm Ventures also participating in the round. The company, which offers a cloud-based SaaS platform for customer engagement, clienteling, loyalty and social CRM solutions, currently works with over 100 major brands across 10,000 locations worldwide, and just recently entered the U.S. market.
Current customers include Pizza Hut, Puma, Robinson’s, United Colors of Benetton, Mothercare, Store21, Sunglass Hut and Nike.
The article notes:
Capillary Technologies, the social CRM startup based in Bangalore, has raised additional funding of around $4 million from American Express Ventures. The startup plans to expand into the U.S., Middle East, China and Australia with this fresh funding, which takes the total capital raised so far to around $20 million.
Norwest Venture Partners, Sequoia Capital and Qualcomm Ventures are among other existing investors in the startup.
...
The startup competes with bigger enterprise vendors such as Oracle, Salesforce and SAP on one hand, and smaller, niche startups including Mobiquest, Swiply and Punchd at the other end. Its product — InTouch — gathers real time customer data, applies predictive analysis, and helps retailers such as Nike, Puma, Marks & Spencer and Nokia contact potential customers with personalized offers on-the-go.

I was pretty horrified when I stumbled across this page. It had a lot of in-line links and no proper refs. When I clicked on the links, I found that many of them were dead (including links to the purported website this article was about - which appears to have disappeared into the ether.) I marked them as dead, converted what inline links I could into proper refs and then tagged any "facts" I could not reference. What I'm left with is a page of text that's unreferenced, referenced to a site that's not a reliable source, or referenced to a dead link. I would have put up a PROD notice but that was done once, back in 2007, shortly after the article was created. As best I can tell, it ought to have been AfD'd then. But it wasn't. Nine years later, it's really time to delete this piece about a project that I don't think ever achieved notability in the first place. David in DC ( talk) 21:00, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

The book notes:
George Ritchie, M.D., had a near-death experience in 1943, during his World War II Army service. It was a milestone NDE, because it was the first NDE account heard by Raymond Moody. Ritchie's story opened the door to contemporary near-death studies. Moody dared to begin research on NDEs in part because Dr. Ritchie, who affirmed the reality of the near-death experience, had such a solid reputation as a psychiatrist at the University of Virginia Medical Center. Dr. Ian Stevenson, at the same Medical Center, expresses the same respect for Ritchie's reputation in his foreword to Ritchie's book, My Life After Dying, from which we have excerpted part of the original experience. Dr. Ritchie first published the account in his book, Return from Tomorrow, which sold over 200,000 copies. The more recent book tells how the near-death experience has affected his life. Dr. Ritchie now has a gift for healing that involves faith as well as medicine.
George Ritchie, M.D., is now retired from his practice at the University of Virginia Medical Center.
The book notes:
In Return from Tomorrow, George G. Ritchie tells the story of his own death in an army hospital at the age of twenty in 1943. If, as Raymond Moody says in the foreword to Ritchie's book, one defines death as "that state of the body from which no restoration of function is possible," then George Ritchie was not really dead. Yet, for nine minutes Ritchie's vital signs went flat, and what he saw and heard while "gone" changed his life.
He leaped up, turned around, and found the body of a young man in the bed where he had been. The body was his. Now out of his body, he began to float, then fly, "as if thought and motion had become the same thing," first over moonlit rural landscape, then down into an industrial city teeming with people. So many people, in fact, they seemed to be occupying the exact same space. Two men bore down on the same stretch of sidewalk and, amazed, Ritchie watched them walk right through each other.
Once aware that he had lost his ability to grasp things, or make contact or be seen or heard, Ritchie realized that his predicament was being shared by the frenzied glut of disembodied beings he saw milling about him, straining to be noticed by the living, snatching after cigarettes, begging for foregiveness, yapping advice, and being thoroughly ignored.
"Disembodied beings, completely unsuspected by the living, hovered right on top of the physical things and people where their desires were focused," Ritchie writes.
The article notes:
The next major advance in our understanding of NDEs occurred when an undergraduate student at the University of Virginia named Raymond Moody attended a talk given by the university's psychiatrist, Dr. George Ritchie. During this presentation, Ritchie described an experience that happened to him during World War II. In 1943, Ritchie developed severe pneumonia while undergoing army basic training at Camp Barkeley, Texas. His condition deteriorated rapidly and while awaiting a chest x-ray, he grew weak and collapsed. After regaining awareness, Ritchie flew through the air, "traveling faster, in fact, than I had ever moved in my life" (Ritchie, 2007, p. 46). He tried talking to others, but they ignored him, as if he were not there.
After returning to the hospital, Ritchie met a being of light that emanated unconditional love. He then went on a second journey, this time with the being of light. Communication between Ritchie and the being of light occurred by thought instead of speech (Ritchie, 2007, p. 63). They traveled to distant cities together and witnessed people going about their daily lives. Ritchie then returned to the hospital a second time. When he opened his eyes, he discovered the bed covers had been pulled over his head. Although alive, Ritchie suffered from delirium. Several days later, when he regained clarity, he learned that after collapsing in the radiology department, he had grown increasingly ill. The ward boy had found Ritchie without a pulse. He summoned the doctor, who pronounced Ritchie dead. Nine minutes later, Ritchie was checked again and for a second time was pronounced dead. Then, following an injection of adrenaline, Ritchie's heart began beating again. Ritchie made a full recovery. He later attended medical school, became a physician, and then worked as a psychiatrist at the University of Virginia, which is where Moody heard his story.
The article notes:
When Dr. George G. Ritchie Jr. retired from his psychiatric practice in 1987, one of his goals was to complete his second book. That book, "My Life After Dying: Becoming Alive to Universal Love," has just been published, but not without some difficulty.
...
Eventually, Ritchie chose to tell his own story in his first book, "Return From Tomorrow."
...
Last month, Ritchie was one of several people who appeared on the Joan Rivers television show to discuss life-after-death experiences.
Born and raised in Richmond, Ritchie entered the premedicine program at the University of Richmond with plans to become a doctor.
He remained in the inactive reserves while in school, but in 1943 volunteered for active duty. It was during his training in the United States that he had his brush with death and his short incursion into the afterlife.
Later, when he had recovered his health, he saw service overseas with the U. S. Army in Germany.
After the war, he returned to his medical studies and received his doctor of medicine degree from the Medical College of Virginia in 1950. He completed his internship there in 1952.
From 1952 to 1964, Ritchie practiced family medicine in the Richmond area.
Ritchie and his wife, Marguerite, have two grown children, Bonnie, 38, and John, 36, and two granddaughters. His interests in children have extended well beyond his own.
The article notes:
In 1943, during World War II, George Ritchie was pronounced dead at an Army hospital, only to wake up nine minutes later. Ritchie went on to become a psychiatrist and write several books about those nine minutes, in which he claimed to tour the devastation of hell in the company of Jesus Christ.
“Everywhere spirits were locked in what looked like fights to the death, writhing, punching, gouging,” he wrote in Return From Tomorrow, originally published in 1978. “Even more hideous than the bites and kicks they exchanged, were the sexual abuses many were performing in feverish pantomime. Perversions I had never dreamed of were being vainly attempted all around us.”
Ritchie’s story inspired Raymond Moody, who coined the term “near-death experience” and published the runaway 1975 bestseller Life After Life.
The article notes:
Dr GEORGE RITCHIE'S STORY
All George Ritchie wanted to do was get home for Christmas and begin his training to be a doctor.
Instead he found himself in a United States Army hospital coughing up blood from a chest infection and running a fever.
As his condition worsened he was taken for an X-ray. He blacked out. Ritchie said later: "Faintly I heard the Captain shout to the nurse and ambulance driver, 'Grab him'."
...
Later Ritchie discovered that he had been pronounced dead but a young ward attendant had argued that he had seen Ritchie's chest move.
A doctor agreed to inject adrenalin into Ritchie's heart and it started to beat again - at least eight minutes after it had first stopped.
Ritchie recovered and, 10 months later, driving through Vicksburg, Mississippi, he saw the white cafe with the neon Pabst Blue Ribbon sign he had seen for the first time during his near-death experience.

The example you give of 7 billion people works well enough. Those 7 billion fall into three groups: notable, significant, and insignificant (not included). The notable ones are eligible to have articles, the significant ones are eligible for inclusion somewhere in the encyclopedia but not as standalone topics, and the insignificant topics are not included. Both the notable people and the significant people are included. An example of a significant biography is Jonathan Medved.

I think you are still missing my point. Inclusion occurs at a granularity lower than standalone articles. Again, topics can be notable, significant, or insignificant.

Quite clear advertising and it's not enough to then say the sheer blatancy of PR and quit close signs to paid advertising in them, and searches mirror a few pieces of them, showing there's not even anything close to genuine substance, let alone actually satisfying our policies and it's clear this was never planned for anything else but advertising hence there's nothing to negotiate. These subjects and matters are quite easy to pin as advertising but when it's as clearly company-involved like this, there's simply no other chances of hopeful improvements especially when the company account "Novatium" heavily contributed, subsequently followed by apparent employees (especially note the 2 accounts Emmess2005 and Emmess2006). Also important to note is the fact of 3 deletions close to the start of this current one, and this was in fact speedied again at the time but removed. There's nothing to actually improve if all it's planned for, regardless, is for advertising which is exactly the foundation here, hence violating policies. SwisterTwister talk 05:04, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
The article notes:
... And long before them, Oracle and Sun Microsystems chiefs Larry Ellison and Scott McNealy tried, and failed, to market so-called network PCs.
So what gives tiny Novatium an edge over such high-profile competition? Most of those companies have focused on making traditional desktop PCs or laptops cheaper by using older, slower chips and skimping on memory and hard-drive storage. Novatium, on the other hand, has created a state-of-the-art network computer that mimics a traditional desktop machine at a fraction of the cost--and that will soon be made to run on any television, anywhere.
...
Novatium sees a similar opportunity lurking today. Just as millions of Indians skipped land-based telephones altogether and went straight to wireless when it became affordable, Jain and Novatium's other two founders--Ashok Jhunjhunwala, a renowned engineering professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, and Ray Stata, chairman of U.S.-based Analog Devices, a $2.6 billion chipmaker--are betting that they'll skip desktop PCs and go straight to network computers.
The article notes:
If Rajesh Jain is successful, the NetTV, which hooks up to any television, could be the first in a family of devices that connect the next billion people to the Internet. Jain, 39, is cofounder and chairman of Novatium, the Chennai-based company that makes NetTV and NetPC, a similar product that uses a normal computer monitor. Both are based on cheap cell-phone chips and come without the hard-disk drive, extensive memory and prepackaged software thatadd hundreds of dollars to the cost of regular PCs. Instead, they are little more than a keyboard, a screen and a couple of USB ports--and use a central network server to run software applications and store data. Novatium already sells the NetPC for only $100--just within reach of India's growing middle class--and Jain believes he can soon drive the price down to $70.
...
Started with only $2.5 million, Novatium has just 60 employees, but it is attracting attention from many major players.
One reason is that Novatium machines are open to all. Unlike most thin clients, Novatium's devices work with any network server without requiring major modifications, whether it uses proprietary software from Microsoft or Sun, or free software from an open-source company like Linux. Microsoft is participating in the Chennai pilot program because Novatium's subscription-based payment system could generate profit in markets where most users run pirated versions of Microsoft products. Top U.S.-based executives from Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL and other companies have visited Hema's house and other homes wired with the NetPC and the Nova NetTV to see how the utility computing model could work in the home. And network server giant Sun Microsystems--whose slogan has long been "The network is the computer"--has already inked a deal to market the NetPC to enterprises and schools in India beginning this year. "There's a 100 million-unit opportunity in the next five years in India itself," Jain says.
The article notes:
The Nova netPC works on a ‘thin client’ concept. It is a small box and does not contain any software or application. It is linked to a central server, which hosts all applications. The box does not have any configuration or processor. The central service has all the storage and guarantees data privacy through encryption.
...
Novatium was co-founded by Mr Ray Stata, Chairman of Analog Devices, Mr Rajesh Jain, Managing Director of Netcore Solutions, and Prof Ashok Jhunjhunwala of IIT-Madras.Mr Singh said Novatium has decided to postpone by six months raising `large sums of money' for expansion due to the high cost of funds. However, it will raise around $5 million for the short term requirement.
The article notes:
They grabbed international headlines when they launched their $100 (around Rs 4200) Net PC in January this year. It was touted to be one of the cheapest Net PCs anywhere in the world. So much so that Novatium Solutions, the Chennai-based company that was incubated at IIT Chennai went on to be featured by Newsweek as their cover story some months ago.
Six months later, after tasting success with their pilot project in collaboration with MTNL in Delhi, the company is now drawing up expansion plans. This month Novatium is signing a commercial deal with MTNL to provide the PC and computing services with all MTNL boradband plans. "In the pilot project, MTNL included it in their Rs 399 broadband plan. Under the revenue sharing agreement, MTNL kept Rs 100 for the net connectivity while Novatium got Rs 299 for computing services per user," says Jaideep Kohli, COO, Novatium Solutions.
The article notes:
Novatium Solutions, the company started by Rajesh Jain of Netcore Solutions, Ray Stata of Analog Devices, Prof Ashok Jhunjhunwala of IIT-Madras and Alok Singh, former CEO of Cummins Auto Services, took a year to develop its first product called the Nova NetPC version 1. The NetPC is a thin client computer. This means that the system retains most of the functionalities of a desktop PC but moves the complexities of software and hardware maintenance and upgrade as well as data security to a central server elsewhere.
...
The four-and-a-half year old company has done a turnover of Rs 50 crore. Novatium has a trademark on a technology they call Plug & Compute and this is enabled by 13 patents on the box, server side billing engine, protocol and others. It has also developed its own operating system.
The article notes:
LIKE a bad penny that keeps turning up, the idea of a thin computing client refuses to die.
Its latest reincarnation is the $100 "Un-PC" that Newsweek trumpets in its Feb. 12 issue as a replacement for the personal computer.
A company in India called Novatium has begun selling the NetPC for only $100, but here's the catch: it has no hard disk, very little memory to speak of, and uses a cheap processor of undisclosed origin that's more typically found on mobile phones. The software? Zip. You'll have to subscribe to that, including the operating system, which will be rented out to you over the Internet. You can't save your files locally, either--you'll have to send them back to the server over the Internet.
The article notes:
Novatium, an obscure Indian company, is just about three months away from offering a basic personal computer for about $75.
With a new monitor the price goes to $150, CNET News reported Wednesday. Used monitors keep the price below $120, Novatium founder Rajesh Jain said.

Article on a journal that has produced 4 volumes since 2005 (the last one in 2011), without any indication whether it is still functional or not (besides the fact that its website is still online). It seems deceptively well sourced following reference bombing after the article was PRODded. At this moment, the article contains no less than 16 references, as follows. 1/ The faculty page of the editor, mentioning his editorship of the journal and his publications therein. 2/ Trivial non-selective index. 3/ The journal's "about page, consisting of a list of editorial board members and one line of 10 words (which, BTW, does not even support the first phrase of the article). 4/ A brief review in an Australian journal of the first issue of the journal. 5/ Another faculty page for the editor, mentioning the journal. 6/ An article on Rutherford, with one citation to an article that appeared in this journal. 7/ An article about Rutherford that appeared in this journal. 8/ A search of GBooks, showing a rather modest number of citations to articles published in the journal. None of the search results is about the journal itself. Even ignoring the current discussion at Wikipedia talk:NJournals, this does not indicate a pass of criterium 2. 9/ Trivial, non-selective database. 10/ Mirror of the journal homepage. 11/ Dead link to Intute website, which was a non-selective database. 12/ List of external links on a website dedicated to Alan Turing, maintained by the editor of the journal. 13/ Listing of the journal and some articles from it without any further discussion. 14/ Listing in a bibliography. 15/ A website hosted by WordPress reproducing some photos from the journal, which is otherwise not mentioned. 16/ Another WordPress blog quoting two articles from the journal.

List of guess what? Appears to be in Norwegian, and although various people have tried to do something about or with it, it's not improving. To my mind, it's a hopeless task for anyone to maintain and looks a bit like listcruft. Prod has been declined (twice). but the decliner hasn't done anything to sort the problem. Is it notable, and will anyone maintain it? I've looked through the dates of the series given, and either the Norwegians stopped producing TV series in about 2009, or no-one IS maintaining it.

Appears to be a small conference in Tehran mostly centering on the (groundbreaking I'm sure) topics of how the US and Jews are bad, and Iran is good. Basically zero news coverage outside of the cited PressTV (state owned and literally the only legal Iranian television broadcaster apparently) that I can find, even searching for the name in Persian doesn't improve the outlook there. Coverage in Press TV is even less surprising and probably of even less consequence since speakers Mardhiah Hashemi and Caleb Maupin appear to be closely connected.
Nothing that I can find to indicate that this is a notable event even in Iran, much less anywhere else.
Hard to comment further, because there's such little coverage it's difficult to tell anything about the event at all. TimothyJosephWood 18:17, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Classic WP:BLP1E. Sources focus more in the event than on the person. The fact is that this article don't meet the criteria WP:NN. The person is "notable" because of one event and the "notability" pretty much died out once the media turned away. Other than this one event, there is nothing that indicates notoriety, with pretty much no reliable or independent sources that indicate that. Sources don't go any deeper as to point out any notoriety or if the repercussions of his actions were that serious. Article maily uses the website "reddit" as a source, wich is not the best, by far.

At first glance it looks like we have a lot of sources on Martell. However these all add up to just saying "look, a women who is bald was a contestant in Miss America". This can be covered in the entry on her in the Miss Delaware page in the notes, and actually is. There is no justification for having a stand alone article. If the coverage had extended beyond when she was a Miss America contestant and showed sustained notability as an advocate for these causes, we could justify this article, but it does not, so we cannot.

Literally a blatant advertisement not only given the overfocused information, but also the fact it's clear the company contributed to this, in both with its employees and a company account, see "Capillary1", and that's basically sufficient to delete alone with WP:NOT policy. After this, we then consider the fact everything is literally advertising, either published or republished, therefore showing none of it can be taken seriously, and we certainly shouldn't since we know the damages of advertising here. Searches unsurprisingly showed nothing but such blatant PR, therefore the WP:NOT policy still applies. To even explain, note how the consistency of all sources focus with company advertising, and damned in these assured, "The amazing story of this company and what they say" is one of them.

*Keep The main concerns with this entry were edits made by an apparent internal employee of the company in question as “Capillary1”, the content which did not have a neutral point of view and links to non authoritative websites. The issues seem to have been fixed now where the Overfocused information written by User ‘Capillary1’ have been removed and general information available on trustworthy news sources has been added, satisfying WP:NPOV. I don't agree with SwisterTwister’s comment stating - ”sheer blatancy of publishing whatever the company asked for, not what genuine news needed” since most of the information mentioned on the wiki page has trustworthy and valid citations . According to me, the tone of history section and the rest of the sections seem quite generic and neutral that satisfies WP:NOT. The citations now point to authoritative external sources which are not paid advertisements but trustworthy news coverages and this satisfies WP:NOT. It was also stated that the mentioning of the Financing of the company violates WP:NOT but these are significant events in the company history. A google search makes it evident that there are trusted business publication references and satisfies WP:ORG. — Preceding

The company is quite a renowned one and has progressed quite well in last couple of years.

*Keep Every source that can be found from a Google search and also the cited references show that the company is Headquartered in Singapore. A little bit of digging in web shows that the company operates globally and has a bulk of its market and operations outside of Singapore which explains why this company is mentioned more outside of Singapore. It also has been cited by trusted sources such as Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Fortune, Gartner, TechCrunch etc which have written in length on why the company is significant, satisfying WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:CORPIND. Therefore Not having references from one particular Newspaper (Straits Times in this case) or from one particular region(Singapore) is not sufficient ground to call an article not good enough for WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:CORPIND. Moreover, the article in its current state seems to have a neutral POV with sources cited even if it has been edited by several SPAs. (SPAs are not against Wikipedia Policies as long as they stick to the code, follow the guidelines and write from a neutral POV).

The article notes:
At a time when several investors are placing bets on Indian enterprise software product startups, Capillary Technologies, which provides cloud-based software solutions for retailers, is faced with multiple road-blocks in its seventh year of operation.
While sources have earlier said that Capillary's co-founder Krishna Mehra is on his way out of the company due to differences with other founders, it is now learnt that a second (of the three) co-founders, Ajay Modani, has also decided to step down.
...
Capillary Technologies enables retail marketers to manage customer data, gather insights from the same and personalise engagements through social media, mobile, e-mail, online, and in store channels. The company is backed by marquee venture capital investors such as Norwest Venture Partners, Sequoia Capital, and Qualcomm Ventures.
It was also the first Indian company in which American Express Ventures invested earlier this year. Capillary Technologies has so far raised around $34 million in institutional funding rounds, as per online startup database CrunchBase.
According to the company's website, its clients include retail giants such as Marks & Spencer, Nike, Puma, Raymond, Peter England and Lifestyle, along with food chains like Pizza Hut and Faaso's.
The article notes:
Two college buddies drop out of their jobs, tinker around with a few ideas, and come up with just the product customers were looking for. Aneesh Reddy and Krishna Mehra came up with the name ‘Capillary’ before they had any idea what the business would be. But after a couple of early ‘pivots’ around shopping ‘deals’ and licenced, on-premise retail CRM (customer relationship management), they hit the sweet spot: A hosted, pay-as-you-go retail CRM that builds a world of data and intelligence around each customer, using mobile phone numbers as identifiers. No new terminals, no servers, no customised implementations—just actionable analytics, like suggesting an instant 15 percent discount on trousers to a customer who’s buying shirts.
...
Capillary is used across nearly 10,000 stores today, and handles over 2.5 terabytes of data across 15 million customers.
...
Till it raised a mammoth Series A funding of $15.5 million in September, Capillary was mostly under the radar, thanks to $1.5 million in angel funding from 17 different investors across the world.
The article notes:
AMERICAN Express Ventures, the venture capital arm of the well-known credit card company, has made its first investment in a Singapore software firm.
It has teamed up with venture capital firms Sequoia Capital, Norwest Venture Partners and Qualcomm Ventures to invest in Capillary Technologies. According to US tech blog Techcrunch, the total investment was US$15.5 million (S$19.6 million).
Capillary Technologies sells software to help retailers understand customers' buying behaviour. It will use the funds to expand into new markets such as the United States and Australia.
...
Capillary moved to Singapore nearly three years ago from Bangalore, India, where it was founded.
The article notes:
LOCAL startup Capillary Technologies, which makes customer relationship management (CRM) cloud-based software, recently bagged close to $5 million in funding from American Express (Amex) Ventures, in what it claims is the latter's first investment in the region.
The funds will be used to expand Capillary's services in existing markets including Singapore, India and the US, as well as open new offices in Australia and China this year, chief executive officer Aneesh Reddy told The Business Times.
...
To-date, Capillary has raised over $20 million since its launch in 2008.
The global CRM software market is forecast to hit US$36.5 billion by 2017, according to global information technology research firm Gartner.
The article notes:
CAPILLARY Technologies, a Singapore-based customer relationship management (CRM) start-up, is going places - and literally too. It recently bagged US$14 million in Series B funding - one of the highest amounts by a Singapore start-up - in a round led by US-based Sequoia Capital and Norwest Venture Partners.
Existing investors Qualcomm Ventures and American Express Ventures also participated, taking Capillary's total funding to over US$30 million to date. The start-up now manages enterprise customers in some 16 countries worldwide, having entered new markets such as the US, Australia and South Africa shortly after it raised US$14 million Series A funding in 2012.
...
The start-up's latest clients include Marks & Spencer, KFC Singapore, Lacoste, Keedo and Courts. This brings its total client count to more than 150 major brands across 10,000 retail locations, and total reach to over 100 million consumers globally. With the Series B money, Capillary will enhance its product offerings, enter new markets and expand headcount.
The article notes:
Capillary Technologies, the Singapore-based social CRM company, has raised a $45 million Series C to fuel its evolution into a omnichannel retail platform. The round was led by Warburg Pincus with participation from returning investors Sequoia Capital and Norwest Venture Partners and brings Capillary’s total funding so far to $79.1 million.
Most of the capital is earmarked for the acquisition of e-commerce software platform MartJack, which significantly expands Capillary’s online retail capabilities. Capillary also announced the purchase of Ruaha Labs, a machine learning startup.
...
Capillary is currently targeting expansion in India, China, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the United States. Increasing its SaaS offerings means that Capillary now competes more closely with companies such as SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce.
The article notes:
Capillary Technologies, a social CRM company that helps retailers engage over mobile, email, social and in-store channels, is announcing the close of $15.5 million in Series A funding led by Sequoia Capital and Norwest Venture Partners with Qualcomm Ventures also participating in the round. The company, which offers a cloud-based SaaS platform for customer engagement, clienteling, loyalty and social CRM solutions, currently works with over 100 major brands across 10,000 locations worldwide, and just recently entered the U.S. market.
Current customers include Pizza Hut, Puma, Robinson’s, United Colors of Benetton, Mothercare, Store21, Sunglass Hut and Nike.
The article notes:
Capillary Technologies, the social CRM startup based in Bangalore, has raised additional funding of around $4 million from American Express Ventures. The startup plans to expand into the U.S., Middle East, China and Australia with this fresh funding, which takes the total capital raised so far to around $20 million.
Norwest Venture Partners, Sequoia Capital and Qualcomm Ventures are among other existing investors in the startup.
...
The startup competes with bigger enterprise vendors such as Oracle, Salesforce and SAP on one hand, and smaller, niche startups including Mobiquest, Swiply and Punchd at the other end. Its product — InTouch — gathers real time customer data, applies predictive analysis, and helps retailers such as Nike, Puma, Marks & Spencer and Nokia contact potential customers with personalized offers on-the-go.

I was pretty horrified when I stumbled across this page. It had a lot of in-line links and no proper refs. When I clicked on the links, I found that many of them were dead (including links to the purported website this article was about - which appears to have disappeared into the ether.) I marked them as dead, converted what inline links I could into proper refs and then tagged any "facts" I could not reference. What I'm left with is a page of text that's unreferenced, referenced to a site that's not a reliable source, or referenced to a dead link. I would have put up a PROD notice but that was done once, back in 2007, shortly after the article was created. As best I can tell, it ought to have been AfD'd then. But it wasn't.

non-notable book. Also co-nominating George G. Ritchie the non-notable person who wrote the book. Obvious products of advocacy concerning Near-death experience; fails WP:GNG Jytdog ( talk) 03:22, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
The book notes:
George Ritchie, M.D., had a near-death experience in 1943, during his World War II Army service. It was a milestone NDE, because it was the first NDE account heard by Raymond Moody. Ritchie's story opened the door to contemporary near-death studies. Moody dared to begin research on NDEs in part because Dr. Ritchie, who affirmed the reality of the near-death experience, had such a solid reputation as a psychiatrist at the University of Virginia Medical Center. Dr. Ian Stevenson, at the same Medical Center, expresses the same respect for Ritchie's reputation in his foreword to Ritchie's book, My Life After Dying, from which we have excerpted part of the original experience. Dr. Ritchie first published the account in his book, Return from Tomorrow, which sold over 200,000 copies. The more recent book tells how the near-death experience has affected his life. Dr. Ritchie now has a gift for healing that involves faith as well as medicine.
George Ritchie, M.D., is now retired from his practice at the University of Virginia Medical Center.
The book notes:
In Return from Tomorrow, George G. Ritchie tells the story of his own death in an army hospital at the age of twenty in 1943. If, as Raymond Moody says in the foreword to Ritchie's book, one defines death as "that state of the body from which no restoration of function is possible," then George Ritchie was not really dead. Yet, for nine minutes Ritchie's vital signs went flat, and what he saw and heard while "gone" changed his life.
He leaped up, turned around, and found the body of a young man in the bed where he had been. The body was his. Now out of his body, he began to float, then fly, "as if thought and motion had become the same thing," first over moonlit rural landscape, then down into an industrial city teeming with people. So many people, in fact, they seemed to be occupying the exact same space. Two men bore down on the same stretch of sidewalk and, amazed, Ritchie watched them walk right through each other.
Once aware that he had lost his ability to grasp things, or make contact or be seen or heard, Ritchie realized that his predicament was being shared by the frenzied glut of disembodied beings he saw milling about him, straining to be noticed by the living, snatching after cigarettes, begging for foregiveness, yapping advice, and being thoroughly ignored.
"Disembodied beings, completely unsuspected by the living, hovered right on top of the physical things and people where their desires were focused," Ritchie writes.
The article notes:
The next major advance in our understanding of NDEs occurred when an undergraduate student at the University of Virginia named Raymond Moody attended a talk given by the university's psychiatrist, Dr. George Ritchie. During this presentation, Ritchie described an experience that happened to him during World War II. In 1943, Ritchie developed severe pneumonia while undergoing army basic training at Camp Barkeley, Texas. His condition deteriorated rapidly and while awaiting a chest x-ray, he grew weak and collapsed. After regaining awareness, Ritchie flew through the air, "traveling faster, in fact, than I had ever moved in my life" (Ritchie, 2007, p. 46). He tried talking to others, but they ignored him, as if he were not there.
After returning to the hospital, Ritchie met a being of light that emanated unconditional love. He then went on a second journey, this time with the being of light. Communication between Ritchie and the being of light occurred by thought instead of speech (Ritchie, 2007, p. 63). They traveled to distant cities together and witnessed people going about their daily lives. Ritchie then returned to the hospital a second time. When he opened his eyes, he discovered the bed covers had been pulled over his head. Although alive, Ritchie suffered from delirium. Several days later, when he regained clarity, he learned that after collapsing in the radiology department, he had grown increasingly ill. The ward boy had found Ritchie without a pulse. He summoned the doctor, who pronounced Ritchie dead. Nine minutes later, Ritchie was checked again and for a second time was pronounced dead. Then, following an injection of adrenaline, Ritchie's heart began beating again. Ritchie made a full recovery. He later attended medical school, became a physician, and then worked as a psychiatrist at the University of Virginia, which is where Moody heard his story.
The article notes:
When Dr. George G. Ritchie Jr. retired from his psychiatric practice in 1987, one of his goals was to complete his second book. That book, "My Life After Dying: Becoming Alive to Universal Love," has just been published, but not without some difficulty.
...
Eventually, Ritchie chose to tell his own story in his first book, "Return From Tomorrow."
...
Last month, Ritchie was one of several people who appeared on the Joan Rivers television show to discuss life-after-death experiences.
Born and raised in Richmond, Ritchie entered the premedicine program at the University of Richmond with plans to become a doctor.
He remained in the inactive reserves while in school, but in 1943 volunteered for active duty. It was during his training in the United States that he had his brush with death and his short incursion into the afterlife.
Later, when he had recovered his health, he saw service overseas with the U. S. Army in Germany.
After the war, he returned to his medical studies and received his doctor of medicine degree from the Medical College of Virginia in 1950. He completed his internship there in 1952.
From 1952 to 1964, Ritchie practiced family medicine in the Richmond area.
Ritchie and his wife, Marguerite, have two grown children, Bonnie, 38, and John, 36, and two granddaughters. His interests in children have extended well beyond his own.
The article notes:
In 1943, during World War II, George Ritchie was pronounced dead at an Army hospital, only to wake up nine minutes later. Ritchie went on to become a psychiatrist and write several books about those nine minutes, in which he claimed to tour the devastation of hell in the company of Jesus Christ.
“Everywhere spirits were locked in what looked like fights to the death, writhing, punching, gouging,” he wrote in Return From Tomorrow, originally published in 1978. “Even more hideous than the bites and kicks they exchanged, were the sexual abuses many were performing in feverish pantomime. Perversions I had never dreamed of were being vainly attempted all around us.”
Ritchie’s story inspired Raymond Moody, who coined the term “near-death experience” and published the runaway 1975 bestseller Life After Life.
The article notes:
Dr GEORGE RITCHIE'S STORY
All George Ritchie wanted to do was get home for Christmas and begin his training to be a doctor.
Instead he found himself in a United States Army hospital coughing up blood from a chest infection and running a fever.
As his condition worsened he was taken for an X-ray. He blacked out. Ritchie said later: "Faintly I heard the Captain shout to the nurse and ambulance driver, 'Grab him'."
...
Later Ritchie discovered that he had been pronounced dead but a young ward attendant had argued that he had seen Ritchie's chest move.
A doctor agreed to inject adrenalin into Ritchie's heart and it started to beat again - at least eight minutes after it had first stopped.
Ritchie recovered and, 10 months later, driving through Vicksburg, Mississippi, he saw the white cafe with the neon Pabst Blue Ribbon sign he had seen for the first time during his near-death experience.

I also reviewed your BLPPROD link. The external link in the existing article seems to be enough to overcome BLPPROD. Further, as per point 3 in "Deleting and undeleting", the BLPPROD fails on "there is no suitable previous version to revert to".
Further, an excellent fully-formatted source is available in this AfD.

The example you give of 7 billion people works well enough. Those 7 billion fall into three groups: notable, significant, and insignificant (not included). The notable ones are eligible to have articles, the significant ones are eligible for inclusion somewhere in the encyclopedia but not as standalone topics, and the insignificant topics are not included. Both the notable people and the significant people are included. An example of a significant biography is Jonathan Medved.
WP:V has said for years that, "the threshold for inclusion is verifiability" The words were moved to footnote #1, but they are still there. Unscintillating ( talk) 07:26, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
I think you are still missing my point. Inclusion occurs at a granularity lower than standalone articles. Again, topics can be notable, significant, or insignificant. I suggest you look again at Jonathan Medved. We don't currently consider this topic to be "worthy of notice". We do consider this topic to be worthy of inclusion.

Quite clear advertising and it's not enough to then say the sheer blatancy of PR and quit close signs to paid advertising in them, and searches mirror a few pieces of them, showing there's not even anything close to genuine substance, let alone actually satisfying our policies and it's clear this was never planned for anything else but advertising hence there's nothing to negotiate. These subjects and matters are quite easy to pin as advertising but when it's as clearly company-involved like this, there's simply no other chances of hopeful improvements especially when the company account "Novatium" heavily contributed, subsequently followed by apparent employees (especially note the 2 accounts Emmess2005 and Emmess2006). Also important to note is the fact of 3 deletions close to the start of this current one, and this was in fact speedied again at the time but removed. There's nothing to actually improve if all it's planned for, regardless, is for advertising which is exactly the foundation here, hence violating policies.

The article notes:
... And long before them, Oracle and Sun Microsystems chiefs Larry Ellison and Scott McNealy tried, and failed, to market so-called network PCs.
So what gives tiny Novatium an edge over such high-profile competition? Most of those companies have focused on making traditional desktop PCs or laptops cheaper by using older, slower chips and skimping on memory and hard-drive storage. Novatium, on the other hand, has created a state-of-the-art network computer that mimics a traditional desktop machine at a fraction of the cost--and that will soon be made to run on any television, anywhere.
...
Novatium sees a similar opportunity lurking today. Just as millions of Indians skipped land-based telephones altogether and went straight to wireless when it became affordable, Jain and Novatium's other two founders--Ashok Jhunjhunwala, a renowned engineering professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, and Ray Stata, chairman of U.S.-based Analog Devices, a $2.6 billion chipmaker--are betting that they'll skip desktop PCs and go straight to network computers.
The article notes:
If Rajesh Jain is successful, the NetTV, which hooks up to any television, could be the first in a family of devices that connect the next billion people to the Internet. Jain, 39, is cofounder and chairman of Novatium, the Chennai-based company that makes NetTV and NetPC, a similar product that uses a normal computer monitor. Both are based on cheap cell-phone chips and come without the hard-disk drive, extensive memory and prepackaged software thatadd hundreds of dollars to the cost of regular PCs. Instead, they are little more than a keyboard, a screen and a couple of USB ports--and use a central network server to run software applications and store data. Novatium already sells the NetPC for only $100--just within reach of India's growing middle class--and Jain believes he can soon drive the price down to $70.
...
Started with only $2.5 million, Novatium has just 60 employees, but it is attracting attention from many major players.
One reason is that Novatium machines are open to all. Unlike most thin clients, Novatium's devices work with any network server without requiring major modifications, whether it uses proprietary software from Microsoft or Sun, or free software from an open-source company like Linux. Microsoft is participating in the Chennai pilot program because Novatium's subscription-based payment system could generate profit in markets where most users run pirated versions of Microsoft products. Top U.S.-based executives from Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL and other companies have visited Hema's house and other homes wired with the NetPC and the Nova NetTV to see how the utility computing model could work in the home. And network server giant Sun Microsystems--whose slogan has long been "The network is the computer"--has already inked a deal to market the NetPC to enterprises and schools in India beginning this year. "There's a 100 million-unit opportunity in the next five years in India itself," Jain says.
The article notes:
The Nova netPC works on a ‘thin client’ concept. It is a small box and does not contain any software or application. It is linked to a central server, which hosts all applications. The box does not have any configuration or processor. The central service has all the storage and guarantees data privacy through encryption.
...
Novatium was co-founded by Mr Ray Stata, Chairman of Analog Devices, Mr Rajesh Jain, Managing Director of Netcore Solutions, and Prof Ashok Jhunjhunwala of IIT-Madras.Mr Singh said Novatium has decided to postpone by six months raising `large sums of money' for expansion due to the high cost of funds. However, it will raise around $5 million for the short term requirement.
The article notes:
They grabbed international headlines when they launched their $100 (around Rs 4200) Net PC in January this year. It was touted to be one of the cheapest Net PCs anywhere in the world. So much so that Novatium Solutions, the Chennai-based company that was incubated at IIT Chennai went on to be featured by Newsweek as their cover story some months ago.
Six months later, after tasting success with their pilot project in collaboration with MTNL in Delhi, the company is now drawing up expansion plans. This month Novatium is signing a commercial deal with MTNL to provide the PC and computing services with all MTNL boradband plans. "In the pilot project, MTNL included it in their Rs 399 broadband plan. Under the revenue sharing agreement, MTNL kept Rs 100 for the net connectivity while Novatium got Rs 299 for computing services per user," says Jaideep Kohli, COO, Novatium Solutions.
The article notes:
Novatium Solutions, the company started by Rajesh Jain of Netcore Solutions, Ray Stata of Analog Devices, Prof Ashok Jhunjhunwala of IIT-Madras and Alok Singh, former CEO of Cummins Auto Services, took a year to develop its first product called the Nova NetPC version 1. The NetPC is a thin client computer. This means that the system retains most of the functionalities of a desktop PC but moves the complexities of software and hardware maintenance and upgrade as well as data security to a central server elsewhere.
...
The four-and-a-half year old company has done a turnover of Rs 50 crore. Novatium has a trademark on a technology they call Plug & Compute and this is enabled by 13 patents on the box, server side billing engine, protocol and others. It has also developed its own operating system.
The article notes:
LIKE a bad penny that keeps turning up, the idea of a thin computing client refuses to die.
Its latest reincarnation is the $100 "Un-PC" that Newsweek trumpets in its Feb. 12 issue as a replacement for the personal computer.
A company in India called Novatium has begun selling the NetPC for only $100, but here's the catch: it has no hard disk, very little memory to speak of, and uses a cheap processor of undisclosed origin that's more typically found on mobile phones. The software? Zip. You'll have to subscribe to that, including the operating system, which will be rented out to you over the Internet. You can't save your files locally, either--you'll have to send them back to the server over the Internet.
The article notes:
Novatium, an obscure Indian company, is just about three months away from offering a basic personal computer for about $75.
With a new monitor the price goes to $150, CNET News reported Wednesday. Used monitors keep the price below $120, Novatium founder Rajesh Jain said.

What about the statement, "quit [ sic] close signs to paid advertising...and it's clear this was never planned for anything else but advertising". This statement provides no evidence of paid COI, yet proceeds to disparage a content contributor's planning. Nor does an absence of evidence logically lead to things being clear.
