The result wasKeep while closing as keep only the source from "the age" establishes notability, clearly this is case of an article needing editing effort to address the concerns. The COI sources will contribute a lot of additional supporting detail to the article. Gnangarra 07:34, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

ANCA (company)
Procedural nomination of article after the db-corp tag was removed. Another australian corpcruft example which does not meet WP:CORP. A small privately held company, no assertion of notability, nor are any references included to support any possible assertion of notability. Thewinchester (talk) 00:18, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: They did win Victorian Exporter of the year in 2006, and I have seen editorials on them in the Auusie metal tade mags, although I can't find an example right now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kevin1243 (talk • contribs) 03:42, June 4, 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Trade press references might be nice, but notability they generally do not make. Trade press exists generally with the sole purpose of promoting products relevant to it's target trade. Victorian Exporter of the year is a start, but a few more references meeting WP:RS would be needed for this article to survive AfD. Thewinchester (talk) 03:52, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Also won the Victorian and Australian award in 1998 www.business.vic.gov.au


 * Weak Keep, I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt on "Victorian Exporter of the Year", which seems to be a legitimate award conferred by the government. Lankiveil 11:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC).
 * Delete Still fails notability if this is the only ground - The above fact could be mentioned in a "List of Victorian exporters of the year". Zivko85 23:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, involved in R&D projects with oversea's university, focus piece in The Age, and appears in lots of trade rags. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayvdb (talk • contribs) 01:46, 5 June 2007

 * Note to closing admin: Above 4 comments (whose only previous substantive edits were to add an image to the ANCA page) are by an IP editor from the anca.com.au domain. Not saying it's a COI specifically, but does need to be weighed up. Orderinchaos 03:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Not trying to deceive anyone hence the Comment and not a Keep vote. Just stating facts. I also noticed that the edits to the article from our IP address - many users, 1 IP address.
