[edit] Aluminij

I think it is an ad to promote a company I really do not think it is usefull information Jdchamp31 22:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)'

It's a company worth over 150 million convertible marks, one of the most successful in Bosnia[1]. It's significant both economically (in the post-war recovery) and politically/culturally (as largest employer of Croats in BiH). I certainly did not create it as an ad. --Thewanderer 00:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

    • Change vote to Keep, Redvers has written it to satisfy requirements. Good show. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:41, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete I would be satisfied with some figures for market share. DGG 03:53, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I've rewritten the article and provided sources, inline refs, more info and less advertising. I have no opinion on whether it should be kept or deleted.   REDVERS ↔ SЯEVDEЯ  09:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. If the article's stubby, it will be expanded. --PaxEquilibrium 21:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Just a note, that I originally removed the speedy tag from this which claimed it was "blatant advertising", a criterion clearly failed by the article in all its revisions. It should probably be kept, but I say this based principally on reading the English version of their website which I accept does not usually qualify as an independent source. Searching for the reliable sources has proven hard since they are as a rule not in English. This fact shouldn't stop us carrying an article on it if it is notable, since a tag for sources would, we hope, eventually be answered by a relevant-language speaking editor who can accurately assess what a Google search returns. (NB. I say this in reference largely to the non-rewritten article which included a number of claims relating to success and awards which I found difficult to locate English-language confirmation of. They have now been removed, but we should bear in mind that the claims may nevertheless be true). Splash - tk 21:52, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
