 * Delete for WP:COPYVIO if nothing else. This one is hard because there are a number of other companies with the same name, including one that presumably created the airplane mentioned in the article. I suspect the airplane was NOT built by this American Electric. To search on this it is necessary to add "culver city" to the search. Having done that, the only information I find is in newspapers and it is about various product recalls: here, here, and here. Unfortunately, in my searches I found this, and the current article is a straight copy from that, so it should be deleted for WP:COPYVIO. LaMona (talk) 00:16, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Note that "america.pink" is a chinese site witch mirrors wikipedia content without attribution. No comment on the AFD, but this is not a copyvio; at least not from that site. Kuru   (talk)  11:25, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: The given references, including the brief product review in the NYT, do not demonstrate notability for the company itself, nor are my searches identifying anything better. AllyD (talk) 10:33, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete there is no historical significance to this company. Two product reviews - food processor brands - mention this company only in passing - no noteworthy coverage of this company. Another article discusses a 1931 American Brown-Boveri Electric Company's electric division to be absorbed by some other company - that is not this company. Recall blurbs and heating pad blurb only mentions this company in passing. The airplane article is a 1931 newspaper article and that is not this company. The more current articles in the 1970's show only this company once existed. There is no indication of significant impact or notability. Steve Quinn (talk) 00:05, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
