Not a notable company Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:07, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nominator. This company is not notable - it has been tagged as such for a very long time. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:09, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Good coverage here. Annual revenue exceeding US$200 million strongly suggests notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 10:42, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment A brief mention in one book, and one press release are not sufficient. Annual revenue is not relevant, only substantial coverage in multiple independent reliable sources actually matters. If it really is such a big company it should have dozens or even hundreds of articles in the business press. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:34, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Multiple mentions in that book over several pages, actually. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 13:57, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
