The article fails to show notability and contains content that is written like an advertisement. It also only relies on primary sources. Abequinn14 (talk) 06:46, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: A primary-sourced WP:SPA article on a company. (If this survives AfD, the article should probably be retitled Lindström Group.) Some sources can be found which help verify its operating scope (e.g. GoodNews from Finland, 2016, The Hindu, 2017) but I am not seeing anything which rises above the routine to meet WP:CORPDEPTH.

Keep. Seems like a fairly large family-held company, and I could find the following coverage:
- Yorkshire Post: Here it has been described as "a large, very successful, family-owned company, which is a leading player in the European textile rental market". Even if the description comes from what would be a subsidiary, and therefore might fail WP: ORGIND, this characterization needs to be considered.
- This and this about presence in the UK.
- This, this, and this about presence in India. These, being mainstream Indian publications, should be seen as evidence that the company meets WP: CORPDEPTH. Shobhit102 | talk 06:25, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: per WP:TNT; 100% promotional to the point of being G11 eligible. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:27, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Easily notable, top 10 oldest Finnish companies still active, operates in 24 countries. One of the largest newspapers in the Nordic countries, Helsingin Sanomat, for example has made an article on the company's history in 2017: [1]. Improvement is preferential to deletion. --Pudeo (talk) 08:06, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
