WP:NN company, ~~formerly~~ the article is just a promo piece for its former execs who have heavily edited the article. It seems like this company is adequately covered in Google_Analytics#History and a redirect there would be sufficient.

Keep The paragraph in the Google article doesn't mention its creation in 1995, its founders, its history, etc. Urchin was well known before Google acquired it in 2005. You removed all the interesting stuff before proposing to deletion. DeansFA (talk) 23:19, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete & SALT as per advertising related to the other article and the obvious spam they are doing. Either way it fails wiki notability for both WP:CORP and WP:NSOFTWARE.Tyros1972 Talk 09:51, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can you tell me why my actions evidently indicate a vandalism-only account without any proof. I am a Wikipedia contributor for several years (mostly on the French Wikipedia) and have no any link with this company. This company was well known when I started to develop in the early 2000s (I was in France) and their software was extremely efficient and known in France. I added some sources. Your accusation is very unfair and dishonest.--DeansFA (talk) 19:59, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The accusation has been basically dismissed by the authorities, so you don't need to worry about it. --MelanieN (talk) 02:16, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as per nominator; if spamming is a problem the redirect page could be locked. The company did exist and it has a successor; a redirect to the successor seems appropriate. --MelanieN (talk) 16:46, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Google Analytics#History, where adequate coverage is given already, and could be expanded if deemed necessary. ~Amatulić (talk) 14:44, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
