Fails WP:NORG, the page outlines their corporate history and not much of notoriety. Few of the sources provide significant coverage. Google News has no articles for this company. ~RAM (talk) 07:58, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closer for soft deletion: While this discussion appears to have no quorum, it is NOT eligible for soft deletion because it was previously discussed at AfD and the result was Keep. --Cewbot (talk) 00:02, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Article was suggested for deletion due to a lack of notoriety. The sources that are there are mainly primary in nature, including a few books and articles where the founder(s) was the primary author. The one article in a true secondary news source was simply a mention as an employee was quoted on an unrelated matter - and had nothing to do with the company. The rest of the sources seem to be routine press releases in industry websites. ~RAM (talk) 09:12, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete or redirect: The previous AfD discussion was a long time before the current WP:NCORP norms, which are more challenging. I added a couple of references which might contribute towards current WP:CORPDEPTH standards (e.g. the 2017 Robotics Business Review article), though these are somewhat driven by the announcements of successive takeovers. There is also the 2010 NYT item containing a brief quotation from this company in the context of a broader sector review, which again is not enough for current standards here. Overall, I think there is not enough to demonstrate attained notability. A redirect to Omron (and perhaps a selective merge, though it might result in an undue imbalance to that article) might be an option. AllyD (talk) 19:25, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
