Non-notable per WP:COMPANY. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 05:24, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This company has reliable third-party coverage, including precisely the kind of financial profiles described on WP:COMPANY. I've reworked the prose a little and added some references of that sort. Avram (talk) 08:11, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The guidelines specifically mention profiles like Hoovers or BusinessWeek as sources, in this case there are both. Drawn Some (talk) 16:37, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
