Binatone
This is a few paragraphs advertising a chain of electronics retailers. As such it has no encyclopaedic value. The text is POV and is what one would expect to appear in an advertisement in a magazine. Kghose 00:29, 24 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per nomination. - Kghose 00:29, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, adequately describes an international business. If it's POV, feel free to edit the article. Kappa 01:48, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've removed the worst of the advertising. TheMadBaron 06:56, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the edits TheMadBaron, but I'm still not clear why this should go in an Encyclopaedia. I was looking at the precedents page (Articles_for_deletion/Precedents) and see that a company is 'noteable' if it is listed on the stock exchange. I guess if Binatone is, it qualifies. Then, to be consistent, we should keep it, but I'll try and rewrite some more to make it a little less like an advertising or PO brochure! Kghose 18:54, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sales of over $100,000,000 US in small appliances would suggest a very large customer base indeed!   Un  focused  04:20, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I haven't been able to confirm this value, has anyone found a puclic document for this? Thanks! Kghose 19:25, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
