I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by anon User:2602:30A:2EFE:F050:E52A:8C67:E2A2:B864 with the following rationale "WP:CONTESTED"; that anon deprodded a number of articles with such meaningless rationale before disappearing, likely a WP:POINT disruption or a spammer trying to waste our time. As I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam. PS. Do keep in mind notability is not inherited, and so the existence of some (potentially) notable products of that company, like their motocycle or Marman clamp does not mean that the company is notable; this company could probably redirect to Zeppo Marx where it is already briefly discussed.

  • Redirect to Zeppo Marx as mentioned perhaps more rather than simply deleting as there's no apparent urgent need for deleting (although it's unlikely a better article can be made later). Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 06:43, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
