Sectigo is not Xcitium

Hello, to whom it may concern. Sectigo is no longer affiliated in any way with Xcitium or Comodo CA. You can view the secondary sources provided as evidence.

Sectigo → Xcitium (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

This redirect should be deleted or retargeted because Sectigo (formerly Comodo CA) is a separate company from Xcitium. 181montreal (talk) 18:59, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Response to comment by MrOllie

Thank you for the feedback, MrOllie.

Respectfully, I’d like to clarify that Sectigo is **not** a subsidiary or brand of Xcitium. Sectigo was formerly Comodo CA, but it was **spun off as an independent company in 2017** when acquired by Francisco Partners. It was then rebranded as Sectigo in 2018 to eliminate confusion with its former parent, Comodo Group Inc. Xcitium, on the other hand, is the rebranded name of the remaining Comodo cybersecurity business.

Since the split, Sectigo has operated with **separate ownership, leadership, technology, and branding**, and is now one of the world’s largest commercial certificate authorities with over 700,000 customers. This distinction is well-documented in reliable secondary sources, such as the *Wall Street Journal*, *Phoenix Business Journal*, and *Infosecurity Magazine*.

For this reason, Sectigo meets Wikipedia’s notability standards for companies, and it seems more appropriate for the company to have its **own article**, distinct from Xcitium.

Happy to hear further thoughts.

The reviewer will have a much easier time determining if the topic is notable or not if you omit the press release churnalism and other unreliable sources that are currently in the draft. WP:THREE has some good advice on this. MrOllie (talk) 19:52, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
