The result was Withdrawn, as I definitely missed quite a lot of sources clearly showing the notability of this company. Could someone more familiar with the topic extend this article with the information and references from this discussion? Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 10:53, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Notability is not established in the article, and I failed to find any sources that could be used to pass WP:NCORP in the wild. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 15:56, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - I can find a few sources, but they seem to be from sales pages and the like. Nothing that would pass WP:NCORP. ItsZippy (talk • contributions) 20:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - agree with nom, fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. CharlieEchoTango  ( contact ) 22:08, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * (e/c) Keep, Manning has brought enough evidence of notability. CharlieEchoTango  ( contact ) 05:05, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Seriously guys, do your research. AMS Neve is the world's most important manufacturer of recording consoles and one of the most important for outboard audio equipment. Neve desks have been used by everyone in the recording industry. Seriously everyone. Abbey Road has several Neve consoles, as does the Record Plant, Studio 301, etc. Star Wars was recorded on a Neve 88R. The article could be merged with Neve Electronics, as that company no longer exists (having been merged with AMS Neve). Frankly I cannot fathom how you failed to find sources for this. Did anyone press the "What Links Here" button? Did any of you consider looking at relevant trade publications? Try Mix Online,Sound on Sound, Pro Sound News or Broadcast Engineering for a start.

 * Oh my, they've also won a technical Grammy. And here is Billboard talking about the Grammy. "AMS Neve is being recognized for its analog and digital mixing consoles and processors, which are widely recognized as some of the most sought-after in the industry." Ooh look, here's Variety talking about AMS Neve too. Does THAT pass WP:NCORP? Sorry for sounding so annoyed about this, but I'm really irked that three editors saw fit to pronounce such a major company as non-notable. I also seriously question what sort of effort actually went into looking for sources, as I had no trouble finding MAJOR coverage. Manning (talk) 04:43, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It just gets better - they've got an Oscar and an Emmy as well. Actually scratch that, they've got TWO oscars, according to this press release by the UK Government. Did anyone even make the slightest effort here? Nah, let's just declare them non-notable, so much easier. (Again, my apologies for being so snarky about this, I'm just very frustrated and am venting, which is poor form I know.) Manning (talk) 05:13, 21 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - Delete Neve as not notable, really? Keep, per Manning. Also, shouldn't the article be in the present tense? It's not like Neve is no more. Pfly (talk) 06:46, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
