[edit] Tontine Group

Tontine Group (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Contested prod; non-notable company that fails to assert notability based on WP:CORP. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 19:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Regrettably the nominator did not allow me time to assert notability in response to his nomination for proposed deletion. I believe the company meets WP:Corp as it
    • owns a Genericized trademark (Doona) and the pillow brand name makes it a subject of jokes or popular commentary [1] [2]
    • it is the market leader with a market share of half of all pillows produced in Australia
    • it has been mentioned in newspapers [3]
thus I nominate for keep --Golden Wattle talk 00:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC) (article author and unconnected with the company)
  • keep per Golden Wattle DXRAW 01:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep for sure, very notable Australian company. Good sourcing, GW.--Canley 01:41, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep -- notable company. - Longhair\talk 02:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. There are 285 Google News Archive returns for Tontine pillow [4]. Article currently is well sourced and establishes notability. Capitalistroadster 02:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 02:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  • keep per Golden Wattle. Now I know why we call them dooonas.--Grahamec 04:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
