Talk:Rochester Products Division

Low-importance
Why is the history of this company rated as of low importance? The decline in U.S. manufacturing is directly connected to the record national debt. An understanding of that process is essential to understanding U.S. history. Wake up. Rupertlt (talk) 15:14, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * A large majority of all articles are marked as low importance to their respective WikiProjects, simply because of their scope. Think of it this way. If you were trying to write a book about automobiles (in general) or New York (all of it), how much would you write about the Rochester Products division in particular? You may be pleased to know that that Manufacturing in the United States article is marked as top importance (the highest grade) for WikiProject United States, certainly one of the largest WikiProjects in existence. But as we say, notability is not inherited, so that doesn't mean every American manufacturer will get that treatment. And unfortunately, that article is about as robust as the American manufacturing sector itself... --BDD (talk) 22:22, 21 June 2013 (UTC)


 * It also depends on whether you are from the US or not. Would you be so keen to defend manufacturing in Australia (my country)?  Stepho  talk 23:11, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
