[edit] TMB Optical

TMB Optical (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I don't think either this article or the cited sources sufficiently establish this company's notability. NawlinWiki 14:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete As with the speedy, i agree. However, since the author may still be able to gather more references, i added {{importance}}.
• Keep. I am the original author of that stub. (Note: I do not understand why the article's talk page was deleted where I explained the inappropriateness of speedy deletion.) As for the content question, TMB is among the top five or so manufacturers in the high end segment of the amateur astronomy market and is a household name among amateur astronomers like Apple is to Computer users. Give me another day to find sources that demonstrate this, then kindly reconsider your nomination. Kosebamse 17:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

  Addendum It has been surprisingly hard to find referenceable information, so I'll keep the stub as it is for now. I still don't think it's insufficient but that's not for me to decide. Kosebamse 12:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep. The article is a stub, and should be kept if references can be found and added. However, notability must be asserted. --soum (0_o) 10:57, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep, Google appears to back up Kosebamse re notability as their products are near the top of every astronomical equipment catalogue I've looked at. - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 19:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
