The result was Keep as this, like Highbeam, is considered notable and acceptable so the consensus will much likely be keep (NAC). SwisterTwister talk 05:06, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A prior version of this article was deleted after a WP:PROD. I haven't seen the prior version of the article, so naturally the version I created, from scratch, uses completely different material. So far the article I've created incorporates cited material from sixteen (16) WP:RS sources. I've demonstrated both a History of the company from approximately 1973 to 2014, as well as a bit about Reception of the company -- primarily as given in comments from authors of books about reference works and library guides. As there was the prior deletion after the WP:PROD, bringing here to AFD to assess from the community whether we should bother to continue to perform quality improvement efforts on this article. Thank you. — Cirt (talk) 04:08, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Cirt has done an excellent job rebuilding an article about this notable topic. Thanks. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:23, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Clearly notable now, but then it was pretty obvious it was a notable topic before IMHO, though the prior article was poorly sourced. I could scarcely believe it when I saw this page had been deleted. I don't have time to monitor my Watchlist as closely as I once did (and certainly don't have time to recreate the page, so my thanks to Cirt) — maybe a case for PRODs and other deletion notices to be highlighted in some way on the Watchlist? Or even an option 'email me if a page on my Watchlist is up for deletion?' Qwfp (talk) 07:24, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A bit of a no-brainer. Clearly a notable topic, and clearly a well-written and well-referenced article. GrindtXX (talk) 10:15, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Appears to have sufficient coverage in reliable secondary sources. Nwlaw63 (talk) 17:59, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The sources in the article amply show that the organization is significant and notable per WP:ORG. NewsBank provides a national-level news database used by libraries and news organizations. I had removed the notability tag a few days before the PROD, and it was lost in my watchlist for me as well. An improved watchlist function is definitely an idea worth exploring. Mz7 (talk) 22:21, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
