Article about a company, not properly sourced as having a strong claim to passing WP:CORP. As always, companies are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to pass certain specific notability criteria -- the most important and non-negotiable of which is that the quality and range of their sourceability would pass WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH.
But of the three footnotes here, one is a Q&A interview in which the company's CEO is talking about himself on a non-notable blog, which is not support for notability at all -- and the other two are special-interest gun enthusiast publications, which appear to be acceptable for use but are not widely-distributed enough to get this over the bar all by themselves if they're all the coverage this company has.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt this company from having to have more than just two hits of coverage in special-interest magazines. Bearcat (talk) 16:08, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
