This article reads like an advertisement. The merit of it is debatable. Would like to see a logo or photo. WP:N23:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC) Golgofrinchian (talk) 23:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Neither advertising tone nor lack of a logo/photo in the article is a good reason for deletion. A brief Google Books search showed plenty of references in reliable publications, so I would say the company meets notability guidelines but could be cleaned up (once again, not a reason for deletion) as the spelling is pretty bad. --Canley (talk) 02:12, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Even though Google searches have been disparaged up and down on AFD by WP:GOOGLEHITS, it is still a good idea to Google the topic before bringing it up for deletion. This search on Google News shows that the company is covered by business article after business article, easily passing WP:CORP. A priori, I would expect this to be the case, because the agricultural situation in Zimbabwe is a long-lasting and serious topic, and a major fertilizer producer in the country will be a key player in such a case.

• Keep - easily sourceable. And after reading the article, I don't see where it really reads like an advertisement. -- Whpq (talk) 13:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
