Nanologica AB

Insufficient data from verifiable reliable sources to establish notability; expresses a POV; and is an orphan. I requested speedy deletion under WP:CSD#A7 [1]. 76.18.115.64 removed the speedy tag without explanation[2]. Quasihuman (talk · contribs) disputed the speedy tag with explanation "dispute speedy deletion, article makes a claim to signifigance. Added neutrality tag."[3] and followed up with 'Just a note to say that I have removed the CSD tag which you placed on Nanologica AB because the article does make a claim to significance which may be credible: "They are the world’s leading developers and producers of mesoporous silica particles". I am not an admin, but I understand that any average editor can remove CSD tags that are not on articles that they created. The article may not meet the notability guidlines, and as yet, does not reliably source the claim to significance, so maybe an AFD is in order. Thanks,' on my user talk page[4]. The article now has three tags: POV; primary sources; and orphan. — Jeff G. ツ 00:44, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. Article is about a business that was founded on a novel method for the synthesis of mesoporous silica and metal oxide particles. Any relevant information about the business or its method belongs in the article about mesoporous silica, rather than about this article with all its unreferenced claims about world leadership. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:56, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless third party sources establishing notability turn up, currently there are none. Hairhorn (talk) 17:59, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I am undecided, but I have found a source to indicate that the topic may be notable. Nanologica AB was a finalist in the materials section of the World Technology Awards. I'm sure that that on its own does not confer notability, and I don't know how reputable those awards are, but it may indicate that the company is well regarded in the industry, and there may be more sources out there.
