Citation Justifications
I'm adding the list of current citations here, and intent with each, in hopes of getting better at selecting and using citations. (If editors have comments on these, I'd appreciate feedback!)


 * "The Cast Iron Collector" authoritative website -- not intended for notability, but evidence of alternative name in popular use (and also a really good external link, too)
 * "Midcentury-Modern Cookware for a Thrifty-Chic Thanksgiving". Gourmet -- not intended for notability, but evidence of alternative name in popular use
 * "Acton Importer's Advice: Beware Operating a One-Man Business". The Boston Sunday Herald -- weak notability, as it's a reputable source and significant coverage (full article), but subject of profile does have self-interest in the brand
 * "Dutch Concern Establishes Distribution Unit in U.S.". Wall Street Journal -- notability (3-4 paragraphs on the topic)
 * "Our Story". DRU corporate website -- not intended for notability, but evidence of location and official name of the company
 * "News of the Advertising and Marketing Fields". New York Times -- weak notability, as it's a reputable source and significant coverage (full article), but subject of profile does have self-interest in the brand
 * "Groovy kitchen designs for collectors, 1935-1965 : with value guide". Book -- notability (book published by legitimate independent publisher, 3-page spread of text and images)
 * "'Holiday White' Cooks 'n Serves". Daily Defender -- notability (Chicago daily newspaper, 3-4 paragraphs on the topic)
 * "How About Gift for Home? It's a Cinch to Please". Chicago Daily Tribune -- weak notability but more importantly, evidence of a rare pattern (large photograph and paragraph as one of eight items recommended in a gift guide)
 * "Housewares Get a Worldly Touch". New York Times -- not intended for notability, but evidence of a rare pattern
 * "Kitchens are to Cook". Interiors (trade journal) -- weak notability (a mention by a venerable chef) but also context of enameled cast iron cookware's standing in the marketplace
 * "Royal Cuisine and Dutch Ovenware by Cameron Clay Products" -- not intended for notability, but evidence of popularity of the brand (inasmuch as it was copied almost exactly)
