Archimede Middle East[edit]

Fails WP:CORP. All sources cited are written by this company or its parent companies, unreliable or don't mention the subject at all. Creator removed prod saying that the company is "known mainly through its unique products", however this isn't a standard of notability. Hut 8.5 10:13, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Even if the business or its products were notable, this is still an article about the Middle Eastern branch of a windows manufacturer that apparently does not have its own article. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Would creating an article about its parent company that is compliant with Wikipedia's rules keep this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.218.168.95 (talk) 10:33, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that the subject of the article doesn't seem to pass the notability guideline for companies. The parent company doesn't have an article and doesn't seem to be notable either, so that is a strong indicator that any branch of the company is non-notable as well. If an acceptable article is written on the parent company then it may be possible to merge the two articles. Hut 8.5 10:28, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While there are references, I fail to see how this is notable. It also does not appear to meet WP:CORP. I have no issue with including something about this subsidiary being included in the article for the parent company if and when that article can be justified.

Delete. A company that makes windows. When did companies that make windows become a notable subject. If they were making windows for a moon-base then maybe. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 19:03, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
