Keep This article is written in a fairly neutral way, and there is little in the way of promotional "peacock" language. It is about a significant and notable company that has been in business for 96 years, and has had in-depth coverage in reliable sources going back decades.

Keep. I can understand the nomination, since the current article does read like a profile of a run of the mill company, but Levolor is actually an old and famous brand, as the very large number of hits at GNews [1] and GBooks [2] will attest. Here's a lengthy 1988 New York Times story about the history of the business.[3] --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:13, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Arxiloxos' searches/article. I would have nominated it too. :-) --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 03:46, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Having been through goole news links until they broke around page 10 I am still not sure that it has the sources to pass WP:Company. However, the product does seem well known and the connections with notable buyers and parent company lead me to think the article should stay. I have removed the most irrelevant section that was unsourcable and added some refs.Tetron76 (talk) 17:00, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Well established consumer brand that dates back to 1914, so it's not surprising that it has received extensive, on-topic treatment in reliable sources since then. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:21, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
