Hello Northamerica1000 -- This article has lain about unreferenced for years. To deserve inclusion in WP it needs to demonstrate notability by secondary sources. Perhaps there is a reason why no one has added anything. Passing references like this [1] don't count. If we are going to reject articles about Silicon Valley startups and other small businesses, the same standards need to apply to articles that have been here since 2006. Fair is fair.
I am tempted just to tag it AfD, so we get some more eyeballs on it. What do you think? Rhadow (talk) 12:57, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Do what you want to do. I deprodded because a lack of sources does not necessarily equate with a lack of notability. North America1000 13:02, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello North America -- From the guideline: Notability requires only that these necessary sources have been published—even if these sources are not actually listed in the article yet (though in most cases it probably would improve the article to add them).
So it's a judgement call. If an editor reasonably believes there is a good article out there, the vote would be to keep the article. In this case, and thousands like it, five years have passed and no article turned up. Notice that the guidelines says have been published, so there is no reason to wait another five years.

I added some sources. A company founded in 1906 likely has some offline sources available in libraries. North America1000 13:32, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
