Claims 130+ years of history and 10 million+ water heaters sold... so there might be some notability here. This was a speedy deletion candidate but I am bringing it to AFD for discussion. It feels like a copyvio but I can't tell of what. Needs some sources, otherwise delete W.marsh 17:32, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep looks to easily pass WP:CORP, just have a look at their stock statistics, with more than two BILLION dollars in revenue last year alone. Sources aplenty.  The article could use a little NPOV help though. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - You say "sources aplenty" - but from what I can see, there is only one and that is this. &mdash; Rudget contributions 17:43, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * From a quick glance at this I count more than a dozen major news stories in the last month alone, from major news sources like Reuters, Bloomberg, CNNMoney, MSN Money, and others. Google also shows 16,000 news articles (going back to the 1920s!) and nearly a thousand Books sources.  The article has problems, yes, but lack of available reliable sources is absolutely NOT among them. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:47, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I withdraw my nomination based on Starblind's links... sorry. Someone can close this AFD unless there's an objection. --W.marsh 17:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Would I be able to close or not? - I think I've participated because of the comment. &mdash; Rudget contributions 18:00, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
