The result was delete, I'm not that convinced that there couldn't be an article about this, but this whole article is just cut and pasted from their website so it's a copyvio and nothing is lost by deleting it. - Bobet 10:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Cleanup Appears to be notable. Google turns back more than 100,000 results for Girbau and more then 10,000 for "Girbau" "laundry". Article on the otherhand needs a complete rewrite. Canadian-Bacon ^{t c e} 06:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Counting Google hits is not research. Research involves actually reading the pages that the Google search turns up. Did you turn up any sources that would satisfy the WP:CORP criteria? If so, please cite them. Did you notice that many of your results were for people with the surname Girbau, or for Girbau, the town in Romania? Uncle G 18:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Did a bit more research; the company does seem to distribute world-wide. It doesn't deal with the public much, as it makes industrial laundry machines. I saw nothing in the way of articles about the company, but there may be some in the Spanish press. I think I'm down to a 'weak delete', but if someone can find some articles about them in the popular press, I'd say 'keep'. --Brianyoumans 07:05, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not notable. Nickieee 19:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not-notable, unless it can be shown that it is a significant player in the Industrial laundry equipment sector, in terms of market share, innovation, etc. --Vsion 04:59, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
