Valco Melton and reliable sources
Hello, I appreciate the sources you added to Wood veneer and Hot-melt adhesive. This is an area that needs the attention of knowledgeable editors, and the sources you've added seem helpful. The addition Fugitive glue is probably not reliable, however. Wikipedia's guidelines on reliable sources prefer sources with a reputation for accuracy and fact-checking. Blogs, columns, and FAQs of commercial websites are rarely usable for that reason.

The more important problem is Valco Melton. It's not clear if the company is notable enough for an article, per WP:GNG or WP:CORP guidelines. At a glance, most of the sources are passing mentions related to services and products the company provides, and are not coverage of the company itself. Please carefully review Notability (organizations and companies) and find reliable, WP:SECONDARY coverage explaining exactly why the company is notable, otherwise I (or someone else) will nominate it for deletion soon. Narrowly focused trade-papers are only of limited use, and likewise with local news coverage.

Finally, if you are affiliated with the company, you must read about having a conflict of interest: Conflict of interest and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. If you are being compensated for writing this or any article, you absolutely must disclose this, per Paid-contribution disclosure. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 00:00, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
