Delete I was also unable to find any indpeth coverage. Mostly all that can be found is listings in company directories of various websites. I found one article talking about a research product they released 2 years ago, but it seemed like it was just copied from another WP:SPS, just not enough to establish WP:CORP. -War wizard90 (talk) 01:00, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Keep - There are sources about some of their research, but I can find any independent sources that cover the company in depth. Fails WP:ORGDEPTH.- Mr X 01:32, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Changing !vote to 'keep' based on sources found by LauraIsabelleDB.- Mr X 22:05, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Meets WP:CORPDEPTH. Sources examples include different societies' websites such as [29] and [30] and well known journals such as La presse [2] and Le devoir [3] where the history and the research and development of the company can be found and various scientific journals like Applied Physics letter [20], Progress in Photovoltaics [21] and Biophotonics [24] where complete descriptions of the technology can be found. This is without mentioning the coverage of the different spin-offs of the company which also give notability to Photon etc, see: [11] and [12]. With all those sources, the article meets the criteria of notability WP:ORGDEPTH. - LauraIsabelleDB 18:45, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Scientific references (pear-reviewed articles mentioning the use of their technology and patents) are numerous, which is in accordance with WP:ORGDEPTH. Although it looks like the page was created by someone close to the company, the tone of the page is neutral WP:NPOV. Lingau.alex 09:32, 04 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
