I've tagged this for speedy deletion as no claims of notability are made in the article and a google news search has details of other companies called transtek but nothing about this one. (And it would seem as though the page has been created/edited by people with a COI: Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#User:Levanteditor.2C_User:Nora_abazed.2C_et_al.

Unverifiable references

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Several of the references cited by the article don't appear to meet WP:V:

[ 1 ] and [ 2 ] intend to support the claim that Transtek is the largest software firm in Syria. However [1] is the company president saying so in a video-blog, and [2] is the company saying so. There is no verifiability here.
[ 4 ] is a discussion about a Transtek product in a magazine published by Transtek's president. This doesn't pass muster, either.

Can someone replace these with references that satisfy WP:RS? If not, they should be removed. Jim Ward ^{(talk·stalk)} 15:40, 29 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Dear Mr. Ward, Thank you for your note. Arab Crucnh is a major source of ICT news in the Middle East. Never mind that it's a blog, as blogs here are considered as more credible media channels, due to the inefficiency of official, conventional media.

On Forward Magazine, regardless of who owns it, it's the major source of news on Syria, and is very credible. Do you have anything to attest to its lack of credibility? Finally, please note that there are other major sources that exist in the article. I want to bring your attention to the fact that a cultural gap between your world and the world of the article in question can lead to misjudgement, especially with the inaccesibility to sources in Arabic. As for COI, please tell me exactly what I can do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nora abazed (talk • contribs) 17:28, 29 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
