The content contained within the Z Corp. page is notable because it is unique, patented technology that enables COLOR 3D printing. This is meaningful and useful information to a very large population, as noted in the article, and changes the way many professions actually perform their jobs. All of the information was supported by verifiable, reputable 3rd party referneces, including industry publications, the Wall Street Journal, and an industry analyst, Wohlers Associates. There is no promotional content contained within this article. Before deletion, please advise on how it should be improved to remain in place.

I have added a section on the significance and importance of the company and technology, and therefore it should not be deleted. If you wish to delete, please be specific about your concerns and provide suggestions. I have also provided numerous, reliable, third-party reference sources to support all information provided.

(please sign comments with four tildes (~~~~). The content in question discusses generic issues related to 3d printing. There is already an article there where such content belongs. Redundantly discussing it in this article needlessly bloats the article size. You may wish to look at WP:COATRACK. This article, as it's name suggests should be related to Z Corp; what the company has specifically done. Describing the unique aspects of any technogies the company has innovated would also be appropriate. Also, if by chance you have any direct relationship with this company, you may want to look at Wikipedia:Conflicts of interest. -Verdatum (talk) 18:46, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(update) alright, I see now, if it is the only company to support multicolor printing, that does support possibly discussing it in greater detail. However, in it's current form, the article, particularly that section, reads like a brochure. Take a look at WP:ADVERT and WP:NOT#ADVERTISING. While the content is verifiable, it is largely verified through first-hand sources, links to the company's own documents. To justify content, it should instead be referencing reputable independant 3rd party sources. -Verdatum (talk) 18:56, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
