[edit] Saipem Nigeria

Originally prodded as WP:CORP. Saved as "Sounds notable". It is pretty broken English so I don't think it sounds notable. James084 00:59, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, sounds notable. Kappa 01:24, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

My son sounds notable too but he doesn't get to have an article here. James084 01:41, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

• He doesn't sound very notable from what you've told me so far. Kappa 01:47, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Saipem is present in Nigeria but that is only one of many places they are located. They are an Italian company. Listed on FRA ISE exchanges [1], 62k google hits for "Saipem SpA", 20k+ employees. I'd completely accept an article titled Saipem, but not this one. Monkeyman^(talk) 01:29, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. They meet WP:CORP as shown by Monkeyman above. Capitalistroadster 04:58, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I think you misunderstood me. Please reread my vote and comment. Monkeyman^(talk) 13:47, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Notable. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 05:16, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Monkeyman. Saipem is notable; Saipem Nigeria is not. There needs to be an article on the whole company, which would meet WP:CORP, but not on one of its subsidiaries. It would be like having an article on Exxon Venezuela, for example, separate from the main Exxon-Mobil article. Not the best analogy, but reasonable. --Kinu ^t/_c 06:45, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete/Merge. Saipem might be notable, it's Nigerian division should just be treated in the main article. — mark ✎ 07:47, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• 'Merge with Saipem. Country divisions of multinational companies are not notable to have an article on its own. --Terence Ong 08:56, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep notable subsidiary executing hundred-million dollar contracts in Nigeria [2], [3]. ergot 15:42, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
