A dabbish sort of page listing a whole bunch of unnotable companies. The defence firm and the electric utility might be marginally notable. Miracle Pen (talk) 11:32, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Convert to a disambiguation page and spin off stub articles (at a minimum) for Veridian Corporation (United States) and Veridian Corporation (Canada). The U.S. company (see [1] and [2]) was a large (it sold in 2003 for $1.5 billion) and complex publicly traded company that did a lot of business with the U.S. defense establishment (see [3] and [4]) and figures in some people's conspiracy theories (e.g., [5] and [6]). --Orlady (talk) 20:39, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Convert per Orlady. Three companies merit or have an article.
Convert & spinoff per Orlady. Veridian the defense contractor was a significant company: tons of likely references at Google News[7] and Google Books [8] that can be used to expand the spinoffs.--Arxiloxos (talk) 05:43, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
