Talk:The Lacassane Company

Article notability
While the subject of this article is not notable say, in Japan, the word umami is not only foreign to those I have presented it to, I have not found one person in three states, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, that has any idea what it means.
 * The Lacassane Company is not only recognizable locally throughout Louisiana, it provides native grass, through the subsidiary, to The state of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. As noted, the company is a provider of native grass seeds, thus a vender, to the United States Department of Agriculture.
 * While I appreciate such notability tag as that provided, I feel  very strongly that it could have waited as there was no time line on application, nor on editing articles, nor on any formal deletion request in the future. I just started the article and have not even had the time (the ink is still wet) to link the article.
 * Anyway, notability, especially in the state of Louisiana and Texas, the historical significance, as well as significance to conservation now and in the future, is notable. Otr500 (talk) 10:14, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I've taken the proposed deletion template off, but please read the notability guidelines for companies (WP:COMPANY). There are 6 references on the article, and none of them do anything to demonstarte The Lacassane Companies notability. 3 of the references don't mention TLC at all (just it's subsidaries), and the other 3 are online directories of corporations (which establish that TLC exists, but don't demonstrate notability). Most of the article text is paraphrased from TLC's website, and with a cursory Google search, I'm not seeing much in the way of third-party sources that would establish notability. You've put some time into creating this, so good luck finding appropriate sources. Plantdrew (talk) 20:31, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you, There are books in the local and state library that I will get as soon as I can and I will replace those references that while proving existence, are lacking in notability proof. I will add one now from a national magazine. Also, the two plantations, Lowrey and Illinois, has historical Louisiana significance and I am looking into these. Otr500 (talk) 02:17, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
