Keep The company appears to be notable based on its coverage in the financial press [1], particularly the Economic Times and the Hindu Business Line [2], and occasionally in the general press [3]. The article needs to have some references added, but AfD is not for cleanup if the subject is notable. --MelanieN (talk) 16:15, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ The artile was created by spammer, please read the content, its truly not wikipedia standards, written like an advertisement, please see the artilce history and current draft! that is the reason for nomination.Mukharjeeauthor (talk) 09:17, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I have struck out the word "delete" from your comment. Since you are the one who nominated the article for deletion, your "delete" !vote is already on record, and you only get to "vote" once. Of course, you can comment as much and as often as you like. Just don't begin your comment with the word "delete". Thanks. --MelanieN (talk) 16:47, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I agree that the article as written has some problems. But that is not the criterion for "keep" or "delete". The question is whether the subject is notable or not. If the subject is notable, the article can be fixed. Please see Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#Surmountable problems. --MelanieN (talk) 16:28, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - There, I just cleaned up the article, deleted puffery/advertising, and added references. Now let's discuss whether the subject is notable - rather than the quality of the article. --MelanieN (talk) 16:42, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I understand the above should be Comment as I already nominiated it Mukharjeeauthor (talk) 13:47, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep : Company is notable and listed on National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange. Jethwarp (talk) 01:21, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The Important issue I want to raise is not about notability but sock puppet work User:Projectmilap and Nothing in the current article is with proper citation. The User who are willing to keep may consider contributing and adding references from where the information is coming. It raises a big concern of notability if the information references are not there in addition to stock puppets working for the company.Mukharjeeauthor (talk) 09:00, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I already added several references to the article, as noted above. Since then you have put "citation needed" tags on pretty much every sentence except the one I added. Please understand that just because the references could be improved, that is not a reason to delete the article. And even though the article was originally written by a banned sockpuppet, it has since been heavily edited by other users. That is not a reason to delete the article if the subject is notable. And this company is clearly notable. --MelanieN (talk) 16:05, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article is still in less than stellar shape but a quick search reveals what appears to me to be sufficient independent significat coverage in reliable sources to keep the article. One source currently cited provides that the company had a profit of 14 million US Dollars, so it appears to be a major company. Hekerui (talk) 22:51, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
