[edit] Deletion
How about waiting a sec while I finish writing the damn page. The company owns a bunch of subsidieries, and tons of patents. I saw it in Popular Science like 4 years ago, which almost speaks for itself as assertion of importance. Why don't you try searching for media coverage before you tag something for speedy?

- I've asserted significance (the efficiency thing) and sourced it. A7 no longer holds. Fresheneesz 22:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Criteria for companies and corporations
REF: WP:CORP
A company or corporation is notable if it meets any of the following criteria:
- The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company or corporation itself.
- This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations2 except for the following:
- Media reprints of press releases, other publications where the company or corporation talks about itself, and advertising for the company.1
- Works carrying merely trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report extended shopping hours or the publications of telephone numbers and addresses in business directories.
- This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations2 except for the following:
- The company or corporation is listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications.3
- The company's or corporation's share price is used to calculate stock market indices.4 Being used to calculate an index that simply comprises the entire market is excluded.
I do not find that this criteria has been met. I also suggest you review WP:CIVIL. The tone of your commeny on my talk page as well as this talk page does not demonstrate that you WP:AGF on my part. Jerry lavoie 22:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- I've provided multiple non-trivial sources... What more do you want? I'm sorry about my tone, but I don't like having to defend my work when its extremely easy to go and find sources for it. Suggesting a speedy delete while i'm working on it is not very good tact. I'll assume good faith, but don't try to delete my work based on shaky reasoning like A7 - i've asserted significance. Please put this up on WP:AfD so that this can be setteled. Fresheneesz 22:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

- Firstly, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I am not interested in being your foe. I had no way to know you were editing the article. If you feel strongly that this article meets the notability criteria, I'll back off.Jerry lavoie 22:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
