• Keep. A search in e-newspaperarchives.ch turns up six articles. Three are [1][2][3] (the last article was also published in L'Express of Neuchatel [4]). These, especially the first, provide some evidence of notability. The other three results are behind the NZZ embargo on recent articles, I am working on accessing these. Toadspike [Talk] 08:41, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The 2006 article "Computern das Sprechen beibringen: Svox entwickelt synthetische Stimmen, die natürlich klingen" in the NZZ is quality sigcov – a 700-word article about the company in a major newspaper. The 2001 NZZ article "Das digitale Fräulein vom Amt / Fortschritt bei der maschinellen Verarbeitung der Sprache" also has good coverage of Svox. Passing mentions in 2005's "Das Licht nicht unter den Scheffel stellen", 2012's "Im Silicon Valley träumt man wieder", and 2022's "Viel Geld und ein gutes Bauchgefühl".

  If I had to pick the WP:THREE best sources to demonstrate notability, they would be the first NZZ article in this reply and the two newer Tages-Anzeiger articles below. I am willing to provide copies of the sources to editors looking to verify my claims. Toadspike [Talk] 08:57, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  It also looks like the Tages-Anzeiger has three quality articles about this company, available via their archive: 2011's "US-Firma kauft Sprachtechnologie aus Zürich" [5], 2010's "Zürcher Sprachtechnologie im Google-Handy" [6], and a description of a Svox demo in 1997's "Wer diktiert hier eigentlich?" [7]. I have no idea if these links will remain live, hence the bibliographic info as well. The first two are very high quality. Toadspike [Talk] 09:05, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Withdraw or Speedy keep, the sources given by Toadspike is very convincing in terms of WP:GNG, especially the sources in the above comment from Tages-Anzeiger. I'll add these to the article when I have a minute. Justiyaya 23:48, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
