Ararat Cement

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The 23 hits at Google news archive probably aren't enough to establish notability, but I prefer AfD to speedy on this one. - Dank (push to talk) 13:56, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete or Merge to Gagik Tsarukian as this is pure WP:SPAM. I am glad you did not speedy this one, as it is great entertainment: "Due to great volume investments done after the privitisation Ararat Cement was equiped with modern technologies." --Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 14:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment That would seem to be due to poor English rather than anything else. Smartse (talk) 16:12, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to Gagik Tsarukian, an undoubtably notable figure; this is a non-consumer business with a physical plant making hard goods, and as such most of the sources seem to relate either to the political connections of the proprietor or the environmental issues of Armenian industry generally. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:53, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I will also go for a Merge to Gagik Tsarukian on this one, since there seems to be some notability. However, I would keep an eye on the promotional activity surrounding the contents.  Diana LeCrois    : 16:54, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plenty of coverage in books and news sources, and some interesting-looking scholarly articles. Many of those sources predate the current owner's era, so a redirect would be innappropriate. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:17, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Definitely not spam - the editor who created the article has edited other Armenian articles: . As Phil Bridger has pointed out there are sources that could be added. Just because the article is unsourced shouldn't be a reason for deletion. Smartse (talk) 16:11, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
