AAON

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The page was written by User:Samneale who is a WP:SPA (see ). The majority of the page was ripped from here which I have deleted. There is only a short intro left. After researching the company in Google News, I can not find anything about them besides stock performance reports -- something that's ubiquitous to all publicly traded companies. IMO, the company fails WP:N. CerealKillerYum (talk) 04:57, 11 July 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete no significant coverage in reliable sources. Fails WP:ORG and fails GNG. I also see it has been written by a SPA.---Steve Quinn (talk) 04:57, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment currently undecided - like nominator I found mostly trivial stock mentions, , which by itself isn't enough of course. I did find some local coverage , , again not enough for WP:Notability alone, but it makes me wonder if there is more. I'll search again after I add them to the page.

 * Keep although not by much. It seems only Tulsa World finds AAON interesting enough to cover regularly, and less so The Oklahoman, but with the former the coverage is extensive, with some sources I haven't bothered adding to the page as well, , . I'm not particularly excited to be banking my vote on only one publication, but the newspaper is high profile and reputable on a state level (I won't go so far as to say national, although I've encountered the newspaper before).

 * Comment From wp:corp "Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local (as in - with a circulation limited to a single city or metropolitan area) media, or media of limited interest and circulation (such as trade journals), is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary." Which I think makes this a "maybe" in terms of coverage. Plus, generally, references from the same source (newspaper) generally are considered a single source for notability purposes.

 * Comment. I'm somewhat torn about this one. The company and its corporate predecessors and spinoffs have been important in their industries—and in the Oklahoma economy—going back some 90 years, and remain so; AAON has also gotten significant coverage in business media (see the HighBeam search results for examples).  But identifying sufficient online reliable sources to establish this notability in the Wikipedian sense does not seem to be easy.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:44, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
