Weak Keep. It is listed on the NYSE, which WP:LISTED suggests that it is probably notable. A quick search does indeed find some coverage. - [1], [2], [3]. There are probably more out there, given that the company is almost 200 years old. A search of newspaper archives could help. MB 16:12, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Current article is in terrible shape, but I think the company is notable. As noted above, this is a large, listed company with an international footprint. For example, they've had production operations in Suzhou, China since 2002, according to this source. It was not easy finding references that were not company press releases, notices on corporate finances or stock price movements. However I did find this on a trade magazine, which talks about one their products. Similarly, here is an youTube interview of a Rogers representative about 5G. And here is a note about what appears to be recent intellectual property dispute with another company. I also found three wikilinks pointing to this page: Walter E. Boomer, List of S&P 1000 companies, Surface treatment of PTFE. So to summarize my vote, not a tremendous amount of reliable, relevant sources out there, but I believe there are enough to justify notability. Article needs a lot of work. I'll try to at least add the sources I found. Alan Islas (talk) 06:23, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Added some content from the sources mentioned above. I'm not sure about using YouTube videos as sources, so did not include that one. --Alan Islas (talk) 16:06, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is a listed company that is covered by analysts (see here), whose reports could meet GNG. We need a new WP:NLISTEDCORP to short-circuit AfDs of major listed corporations (per NPROF). thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 18:18, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:HEY. It needs more TLC, but AfD is not for cleanup. Bearian (talk) 20:23, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
