[edit] North Atlantic Petroleum
The article says "this small company..." so it fails WP:CORP --Richhoncho 19:38, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Small companies aren't notable by deletion precedent, which isn't a guideline (though it's still a good idea). In any case, the only news coverage I could find on their website appears to have been written by the company itself, [1], and I didn't see any other indication it met WP:CORP.--Kchase T 21:36, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as per WP:CORP. Stifle (talk) 16:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - Despite what the article says this is /not/ a small company. Their website says 'The North Atlantic refinery is now the second leading oil refinery (utilization) in Canada and gainfully employs just over 700 Newfoundlanders'. Significant employer and refineries are usually highly visible and significant in the community. BlueValour 22:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- But what does this mean? A refinery is not the same as an oil company, many of which are vertically integrated. Look at the top oil refineries at List of oil refineries. There are two in the US owned by ExxonMobil, which is an oil company. Plus, why the parenthetical qualification, "utilization"? I still say delete, if for no other reason than the lack of independent sources that can be used to write an NPOV and verifiable article. Sorry.--Kchase T 04:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
