Justification[edit]

Numonyx is a newly established international company with 8000 employees. This already justifies a Wikipedia article. There are Wikipedia articles about other companies with a similar number of (or even fewer) employees. To name a few examples: Boston Consulting Group, Spansion, KLA-Tencor, or Novellus Systems. In addition, Numonyx has been established by Intel, the world's largest semiconductor company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thewriter23 (talk • contribs)

WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is not a valid argument against speedy deletion. However, if you can come up with some citations from reliable sources, chances are pretty good you can avoid deletion. Realkyhick 23:56, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the above is a great example of why people cease contributing to Wikipedia. An obviously relevant article is immediately submitted for speedy deletion because someone doesn't like it (for unspecified reasons.)

Articles are only relevant if a tiny clique of people on wikipedia feel it is relevant. A great way to encourage those outside. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.208.76.211 (talk) 22:00, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Employees transferred from Intel?[edit]

While working on the AXFS article, it seems apparent that a number of employees were transferred from Intel to Numonyx. A technology start-up almost never grows to thousands of employees in just two years. It appears Intel has spun off entire divisions or so. Perhaps someone knowledgeable can clarify this in the article, with sources, or course. Pcap ping 08:54, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Several fabs were transferred from Intel, along with the entire Flash Products Group. This includes locations in several places around the world. That said, it's moot now that they've been bought by Micron. --67.164.216.255 (talk) 05:53, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
