Talk:Riley (brand)

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because...

It seems to me that it is a relatively significant sports equipment brand. There are quite a few references to that company in mainstream British media, and their products have been used by several snooker players of note, which are listed in the article. And there is a rather well known chain of pool halls in the United Kingdom that was spun off from the company. They are also mentioned as sponsors or equipment suppliers of several competitions that are referenced on Wikipedia (1987 Hong Kong Masters, 1997 Superstar International, 1999 Premier League Snooker).

I also found that the book The Summer Field: A History of English Cricket Since 1840 mentions the company producing cricket bats endorsed by George Hirst, a top early 20th century player. So at least at one point, they were a significant manufacturer in that sport as well.
