• Delete per WP:CORP --Srikeit^{(talk ¦ ✉)} 02:46, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
• This company has a long and colorful history in this town. Can someone point me to a resource that I can follow to actually allow me to post an entry without retribution(deletion)? Mikeputnam 03:04, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment Deletion is just a form of Wikipedia clean-up. It isn't meant as retribution. Can you give some evidence the company is notable? Read WP:CORP for guidelines. --Ginkgo100 03:13, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I believe this meets WP:CORP. It's a notable manufacturer listed on significant financial indices [1] and news stories are written when they file their quarterly reports: [2]. Side note: A restaurant I worked in had two Manitowoc ice machines. They broke down constantly. I'm sure the other stuff they make is great . . . ScottW 04:00, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
