This company appears to fail WP:CORPDEPTH. Many press releases exist, but not finding significant coverage in reliable sources. Northamerica1000(talk) 10:25, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as not notable. This article has been deleted before and I am unsure how or why it ever returned as nothing has changed. stymiee (talk) 12:36, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - One of my Google News searches "Shift4 J. David Oder" mostly provided press releases including from internetretailer.com with non-press releases here and here (internetretailer.com) and on the second page from the Google News search above (Wireless News, Jul 15, 2007, third from the bottom). I also found some recent results, an endorsement deal here, brief mentions, press releases here and here and a news article here (probably one of the best results I have found, seven short paragraphs). Another search with simply "Shift4" provided some more press releases in the first few pages with some irrelevant results. Google Books also provided some results with two business directories and two articles, one from a Hospitality Upgrade which doesn't provide much through the preview and Casino Journal which doesn't provide much through the preview either. A search with "Katherine A. Oder" provided nothing but a search with "J.D. Oder II" provided some of the press releases from earlier with some republished press releases and this blog which talks about them a little bit. I also found this which mostly republished content from a 2007 press release. I've also noticed Steve Sommers, Shift4's SVP, commenting in several of these results and a comment from J.D. Oder in this one. Although Shift4 has received some news coverage and has been around for several years, I think the press releases outweigh them too much.
