• Keep My rationale for creating this article was because of the red links that previously existed in this article: Empire, Nevada, which links led to the Empire Mining Company. This seemed to me to call for the creation of the article. If you want to restore the red links to the article, your call. A Verbatim Google search for the phrase "Empire Mining Company" yields 18,000 results. See Google search results. Silly-boy-three (talk) 21:04, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment — what are you talking about? If you going to create a standalone article about an organization you must provide reliable sources to this AFD that this organization satisfies WP:NCORP please you are more than welcome to provide reliable sources that discusses the organization with in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the organization. If you can’t understand that then you shouldn’t be creating articles directly to mainspace. Bare in mind that quality of the sources used triumphs over quantity. Please like I earlier stated please do provide to this AFD RS that substantiates and proves the organization is indeed notable. Celestina007 (talk) 21:48, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Reply: Your call. I just wanted to address the red links as easily as possible. Silly-boy-three (talk) 18:43, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This company does not meet WP:NCORP. Despite the website stating that the company was founded in 1910, the reality is that the current operation is named Empire Mining Co. LLC, and it was founded in 2016, search the Nevada Secretary of State website. If the article is not deleted, then it should be updated to reflect that only their website states that they were founded in 1910. I've done quite a bit of research about Empire and I don't recall an "Empire Mining Company" at Empire. Alex Ranson and others discovered the gypsum in 1907, see [1]. The claim was patented in 1910, see [2]. In 1924, Pacific Portland Cement moved their plant from near Mound House [3], near Empire and the Carson River mills. (I'm not sure when the current location was referred to as Empire, I'll have to do some research.) Searching newspapers.com for "Empire Mining" Gypsum finds a few articles from 2016: [4], [5], [6]. However, the articles mention the company in passing, what is notable is that a company is reviving Empire, Nevada. I found no significant coverage of the current company located at Empire that was not really about the town of Empire. BTW - there are plenty of other corporations named "Empire Mining", so be careful when searching. Discussion about the Empire Mining Co., LLC is best covered in the Empire, Nevada article until such time that it meets the four criteria of WP:NCORP. As the name of the company is Empire Mining Co. LLC and not Empire Mining Company, it could be that if this article is not deleted then it should be renamed. Cxbrx (talk) 23:14, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Reply: If you guys decide to keep the article, then I agree entirely with your helpful suggestions, and will incorporate your research and rename the article if you want. Probably like you, the Nomadland story is what got me interested in this. Perhaps the best solution here would be to 1. Delete the article, 2. Remove link syntax from mentions of the Empire Mining Co. LLC from within the article, 3. Place an external link to the mining company's web-page at the bottom of the page.
