Nothing at all actually convincing of any applicable solid independent notability and improvements, I simply found a few expected coverage links....Nothing else convincingly better. I also should note I myself noticed this was actually accepted in November 2011, which I would not have considering the current appearance. SwisterTwister talk 06:22, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No reliable sources. Tom29739 ^[talk] 23:22, 15 May 2016 (UTC). @Sam Sailor: Keep. After looking at the improvements to the article that User:Sam Sailor made, I have decided to change my vote to keep. Tom29739 ^[talk] 23:02, 16 May 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Question @Tom29739: You spend two minutes on a mobile device before sharing your opinion. Which parts of WP:BEFORE did you perform? Sam Sailor ^Talk! 16:54, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sam Sailor: WP:BEFORE doesn't apply, and the article did not have any reliable sources. Also, why does it matter that I was using a mobile to perform the edit? Using a mobile doesn't affect my ability to comment on AfDs. Tom29739 ^[talk] 17:32, 16 May 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Since my question was replied to with WP:BEFORE doesn't apply I believe we can assume that no due diligence was performed. Please note WP:NRVE. Sam Sailor ^Talk! 18:00, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I have begun referencing the article, and I ask for an hour or so per WP:HEYMANN to see what it brings. May I ask the debate not be closed in the meantime? Thank you. Sam Sailor ^Talk! 16:56, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Twenty+ year old company, the quote "leader in flavorings for medicines" and widely mentioned in medical literature. I have added c. 15 {{Cite book}}s, see below for a selection, but you could go on and on. Sam Sailor ^Talk! 18:00, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:HEY and Sam Sailor's nice improvements. The refs found by Sam Sailor above show quite a few independent reliable sources for the company and its products. The article has incorporated some of these and is now a well-cited stub. A topic satisfying WP:GNG through multiple reliable sources and an article that looks fairly neutral with well-cited content suggests keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 19:15, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the article needed improvements with respect to sources to verify the information and notability. Its formatting which @Sam Sailor: has addressed makes it a better article too which doesn't deserve deletion. Irakakiku (talk) 09:17, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
