AOC Key Solutions, Inc

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:ORGDEPTH. Available sources are limited to press releases, business listings, and a couple of passing mentions of two employees in the Washington Post. - MrX 16:03, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - I just published this article, and just want to say that I intend to expand it, and that this was just an initial stub. This firm has generated several billion USD in government contracts in the last 20 years, so it's quite a notable firm (both in the context of companies out there and also companies within Wikipedia). Thank you for the opportunity of letting me continue to work on this. ExitonBridge (talk) 16:42, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:DEL8.  Just a general comment, contractors don't seem to be of much interest to the world at large.  This one is not listed with investing.businessweek.com, which in my experience is a usually a good indicator of Wikipedia notability.  There is another company AOC Solutions, also in Chantilly, VA, but which has different officers and business description (which is listed on investing.businessweek.com).  There seems to be a discrepancy in when the firm started; as bloomberg, buzzfile.com, and manta say it was founded in 2007; while the company's website is saying 1983.  I checked Google books, Google news, and the first two pages of Google web, and while finding things that show this is an established firm with 30 employees, nothing to indicate Wikipedia notability, nor any reason to think that there would be a redirect target.  I also searched for "AOC Key Solutions" within Wikipedia and checked the "What links here" without finding any redirect targets.  Unscintillating (talk) 04:46, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - As per comment above, this AOC Key Solutions, and the other one mentioned (also located in Chantilly VA) are related companies. The article needs to clarify this further (branches, founding dates, related organisations, etc.), but there is no doubt this is a notable organisation (as suggested above). Moreover, I'm not convinced by the above comment about contractors not being "of interest to the world at large", specially if they play a key part in the economy as it does in this case.

 * Delete per Unscintillating's research. for (talk)  09:06, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: Though I understand the reasons why the article was originally proposed for deletion, this is a notable company in my circles, which is why I opted to create this page. I don't mind if it gets deleted, I just ask that the deletion be based on the new evidence given on the article's updates, and not the original post. If by then there are other editors that still don't agree it deserves a place in Wikipedia, then by all means delete the article. Alternatively, I (and hopefully others) will continue to contribute to it. Thanks. ExitonBridge (talk) 00:08, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:CORPDEPTH. The coverage in business journals is not considered for the purposes of CORPDEPTH. We need better sources than those and press releases. The coverage I found was clearly lacking. A couple of articles on Washington Post seem to quote a member of the company. But the depth of coverage required is not present in any of the sources. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:01, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
