The result was keep. The article was dreadfully promotional when nominated, but has been cleaned up by User:Unscintillating. I'll add it to my watchlist and I hope others will, too. Bishonen | talk 18:09, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional article by two SPAs and I am turning up few, if any results from independent reliable sources. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:49, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've added it to list of Museums and libraries-related deletion discussions on account of their museum.Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:46, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, a notable Slovak company with long (more than 120 years) and interesting history and many important achievements. The Slovak article on the same topic is well developed and contains multiple reliable sources. Lack of sourcing seems to be the main objection of the nominator. As a person quite familiar with Slovak language I disagree, as I can confirm that the sources we need do exist. Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 16:00, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Btw, this book, mapping the history of the glassworks, was published by the Slovak National Gallery, a major Slovak art institution. Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 16:06, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
comment I think the article needs to be blown up and redone in this case. It currently is quite a mess and serves as little more than promotional material as added by the two SPAs. I attempted to actually fix it but I couldn't make heads or tails of anything due to the articles current state. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 17:33, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- a well-developed Slowak Wiki article is a good indicator of notability and significance: RONA. This guidebook calls RONA "one of most popular Slovak glassmakers": link. I believe that's sufficient for a keep, as additional sources are likely to exist (or already present in Slovak wiki). K.e.coffman (talk) 01:07, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete on second thoughts, per WP:TNT. I attempted to edit the article to reduce promo language, but I'm afraid it would not be any good. No prejudice to recreating with reliable sources should an unaffiliated editor decide to take on this task. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:26, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment It would be a shame if TNT deletion obscured the sources being used here, so I've dumped the whole list down below:

  • The point is that if this gets TNT deleted, nobody will have to request admin assistance just to find what sources were used. Nyttend (talk) 16:52, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think the topic is notable, but some parts need to be cut right back, particularly the awards section, that could just list notable prizes (if any). Also in some parts it is so poorly written that you can't tell what they are trying so say. These too could go- Designers, Museum. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:14, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: may need a major rewrite, but topic is almost certainly notable. - Jmabel | Talk 02:51, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • At the very least, the manor/museum merits an article, and some of this could be merged into that. - Jmabel | Talk 03:00, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- the article still contains uncited & promotional content; for example: Rona_glassworks#Chronology_of_development_and_organizational_changes and Rona_glassworks#Calendar_of_innovations. I don't believe this article should be kept unless this is addressed. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:13, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Comment -- I'd say yes. The article is clearly a product of a single purpose account (see Special:Contributions/Karla1974) and contains much unencyclopedic content. It's poorly written and organised. I'd say, if the company is truly notable, a non SPA editor would come along to create an article. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:53, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • TNT Delete this. There seems to be an excessive amount of promo and there also seems to be evidence of attempted machine translation. Unfortunately, I find this way too promotional (in fact the article is eligible for G11 as it is) and the effort required to sift through this is much more than what will be required to write it from scratch. I would say delete this and let another interested editor start it over again. -Lemongirl942 (talk) 08:35, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If it's possible to amend my original nomination, pretty much what Lemongirl942 said. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 22:38, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep  I applied a major rewrite.  As per WP:PRESERVE, it is a policy to work together to fix problems.  Unscintillating (talk) 21:20, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
