LDS Test and Measurement

Previously tagged as spam for speedy deletion but contested. Article was created by user:Lds.spx and is peppered with phrases such as LDS is a name that has been traditionally associated with high quality vibration test systems, LDS' solutions are designed to perform the most demanding tests, Engineers around the globe rely on LDS instrumentation and LDS' vibration test systems meet virtually any test requirement and have proven themselves under the most demanding requirements Ros0709 (talk) 21:49, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete G11 (spam). So tagged again. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:28, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment it's listed on the NYSE, so putting aside the current tone, doesn't that fulfill notability reqs? Niczar ⏎ 23:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, it is not listed on NYSE, it's parent company is. Notability is not inherited from parent companies to their subsidiaries, it must be ascertained on it's own. Arsenikk ^(talk) 00:15, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:CORP. No assertion of notability in article, and news search shows nothing. It is on the verge of CSD#G11 for blatant advertising too; if kept it needs a very thorough copyedit (read: removal of most of the prose). Arsenikk ^(talk) 00:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I punched down the language a bit; the sensible thing is probably a merge to SPX Corporation. Wily D 01:51, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as corporate spam. From the title, I thought this would be something about some alleged ritual in the the Mormon church (Latter Day Saints, LDS) I hope some hardworking young exec doesn't lose a job over this. Mandsford (talk) 02:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as corporate advertising for non-notable company. Anything relevant can be merged to the parent company's article. Jasynnash2 (talk) 10:02, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above, also as too close to the Mormon church (LDS) and thus likely to be confusing. Bearian'sBooties (talk) 02:50, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
