Highly referenced article (hence declining speedy), that fails to assert any notability. Stephen 04:18, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep by original author.

Wtshymanski's neighborhood Thai restaurant doesn't do business across the U.S. and globally, and probably hasn't been the subject of any independent articles.

Wtshymanski's right on the GreenLodgingNews source. I deleted it out. Other press releases are only cited to establish product release dates, Air Cycle clients, and the like. The article cites multiple non-press release sources (Bloomberg, Environmental Business Journal, Lisle Sun-Times, industry journals, EPA study).

The article doesn’t “read like an advertisement” and makes no normative claims. I don’t think notability is an issue here either, unless size = notability or familiarity = notability. Air Cycle isn’t as large or well-known as Waste Management Inc., but it’s been the subject of “multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself,” the Wikipedia criterion for notability. Here are a few more:

Thanks for making this a better article.

Delete by original speedy nominator. My neighborhood Thai restaurant puts out press releases, too, and that doesn't make it notable either. The criterion is significant coverage, not just reprints of announcements that the company is pleased to announce the appointment of Joe Bloggs as Chief Acronym Officer. --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:03, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete fails WP:CORP. most of the sources are its own website or not indepth coverage. hardly any coverage in gnews [1]. LibStar (talk) 07:13, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Delete per WP:CORP. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 22:56, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Arguments against notability appear to have a bias against non-famous and/or small organizations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jon ks949 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"non-famous and/or small organizations" are by definition non-notable and therefore a WP article is not justified. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 04:41, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
