I'm not seeing enough out there to qualify this for WP:NCORP. I'm seeing a lot of single mentions on other company pages saying things along the lines of "TechNet was involved in this company's lobbying efforts" but beyond that not really a whole lot. Majora (talk) 23:10, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does not pass WP:NCORP. Just a corporate PR release. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:42, 6 July 2018 (UTC).[reply]
Weak keep but this'll need some serious work. I took a look at HighBeam Research while doing my WP:BEFORE for this article, and found quite a bit about TechNet, specifying about the political organization. It looked to be more than just "they got this or that" as I went through the sources, and in my opinion there appears to be enough there to establish notability. That being said, this article may need some WP:TNT in order to get it right, so I have no prejudice against deletion and recreation at a later time by someone interested in writing about the subject properly.

Delete for subject failing WP:NCORP. The sources are either primary (press releases, etc), news about the tech industry in general, or a tidbit about a managerial appointment. There is no verifiable notability. -The Gnome (talk) 08:03, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
