G12[edit]

I'm not entirely convinced that this page should be deleted as a copyvio - the lead has existed largely unchanged since 2008, and I don't see any indication that abbreviation.com had it first (in fact, the way it's laid out makes me think reverse copy).

I just saw your comment here. I commented about this on your talk page. There's more information available at User_talk:Cyphoidbomb#Zscaler. The short of it is that the content that exists on this article right now in the lede section is a word-for-word copy of what is available at https://www.abbreviations.com/ZSCALER. Further, the content at that website existed before it existed here. See this dated March 22, 2016 and compare against this version of the article, which is the last revision before the March 22, 2016 snapshot from archive.org. The content from https://www.abbreviations.com/ZSCALER appeared before it appeared on this article. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:44, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Primefac: Please note that I removed a great deal of copyrighted content from this article today. See [1][2][3] and [4]. I don't know when this material was introduced into the article, but it should be suppressed as a copyright violation. This content should be revdel'd per Wikipedia:Copyright violations. I believe attribution is important as well, as it's required for licensing. I had intended on attributing two things on the draft if I had moved it to replace the original article; the sentence about the acquisition of Cloudneeti, and the infobox. Both were copied from the prior article; the sentence word for word and the infobox slightly modified. Everything else was newly created content. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:56, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'm working on the RD1. Primefac (talk) 00:56, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks. I appreciate your work. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:57, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Primefac, Am I still needed? (tip for big revdels: click on one box, then hold down shift when you click on the next one to check all the boxes inbetween. It saves several minutes of work. Moneytrees🏝️^{Talk🌴Help out at CCI!} 01:03, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty sure I found all of the historical cv content that Hammersoft removed, but if you feel up to it you're welcome to check some of the older stuff; I found a some matches but since they were from recent papers/sites/etc I mostly skipped until I found the content that was actually later removed. Primefac (talk) 01:11, 29 August 2020 (UTC) And yes, I do know about the check boxes, it was useful even back in 2017! ;-)[reply]

Neutrality?[edit]

I came here from their website expecting to find more objective information. This article reads exactly like a landing page and is very light on details. It is heavy on buzzwords for Wikipedia; "a leader on zero trust" is obscure (following the "zero trust" link will introduce it as "an approach to the design of IT systems", no reference for "leader"), "cloud-native platform" (what's that? no link).

Under the fold, the number of patents, the significance of their various ISO certifications, the list of accolades from the press don't make this better. These are not even presented in chronological order, albeit in the "history" section.

Does this marketing page really need to exist on Wikipedia?

This page is just a stub. Looks to me like something that should be marked for deletion. A few Low-importance flags underline that it should just be deleted. Cameron Bales (talk) 22:16, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Zscaler is a component of the Nasdaq-100, so WP:LISTED likely applies. Brandon (talk) 06:33, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
