I don't think the company is notable. Only 10 mentions at Google news (including Chicago Trubune), but no depth of coverage. Also the style of the article is quite promotional. Bbarmadillo (talk) 10:26, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per substantial coverage in reliable independent source. Numerous articles about the company and its founder already cited in article. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:46, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is not a close case; mention in the largest newspapers in St. Paul, Minneapolis (and the entire state of Minnesota); Minnesota Public Radio, one of the premiere public radio radio services in the United States; the Chicago Tribune; and the New York Times. And we are to conclude that a search on Google News trumps these actual news sources? Kablammo (talk) 01:20, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep lots of good coverage; my own Google News search uncovered more than 10 sources, as it apparently also goes by "Padelford Packet Boat". SportingFlyer talk 05:27, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
