 * Keep — subject is quite notable. Company history is counting over 100 yrs and i was able to find significant coverage of the company (not the term) on Google Books, News and even Scholar. Article is in need of bigger edits to fulfill the WP requirements but the subject is notable enough to keep it on WP. — Zhernovoi (talk) 16:52, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability. ScottyBerg (talk) 16:53, 27 May 2010 (UTC)




 * Delete The bar for private companies should be set differently than it is for biographies or studies of political or historical topics. This one fails the sniff test, no significant information imparted and a little bit of hornblowing in a poorly-written stub. Carrite (talk) 17:12, 27 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Click on the Google news link at the top of the AFD and you get 3,090 results. Reading through some, its the company in question mentioned there.  The oldest news search result is over a hundred years ago!  When you been making news for more than a century, you are notable.   D r e a m Focus  06:16, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - As the author of the article, I am obviously biased. However, do consider that that company employs more than 1,000 people in 60 locations worldwide. I am not aware of specific inclusion criteria for the English Wikipedia, but e.g. in the German Wikipedia, this is a clear keeper (the limits are at least 1,000 employees or 20 locations worldwide, only one of which must be met). Consistently, the German article has been around for awhile. -- Sigi fikanz (talk) 22:58, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - Looking at the news coverage, it has been continuously covered over a significant period of time by various Milwaukee papers. -- Whpq (talk) 14:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Sufficiently large to be a major factor in its industry,as shown by the sources.  DGG ( talk ) 22:36, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
