 * Weak delete. A fair number of hits in GNews, but at a quick glance they all seem to be incidental coverage of the company. For me, the deciding factor is that this article is the remains of what was a very spammy original article, and there does not appear to be any prospect of this ever growing beyond a stub. If anyone is serious about rescuing this and making a proper article, I will reconsider. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 20:22, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per above --Ryan Delaney talk 20:54, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Meets criteria for WP:CORPORATE. Burlodge is a very large, international company that is notable in its field. I have found multiple independant references using simple google search []. Untick (talk) 14:07, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Most of the Google hits aren't reliable, and of the reliable ones, most only give a brief mention of Burlodge, which isn't enough for notability. Can you pick out 3 hits that establish the importance of Burlodge? - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 14:30, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll take that challenge: An industry website says: "The Burlodge Company has been around for the last 20 years and has offices in Canada, USA, England, Belgium, Italy and a very good network of distributors..." A distributor site calls Burlodge: "...one of the world leaders in equipment for the regeneration and distribution of meals in hospitals, schools and other institutions." A California county board reports: "Burlodge USA, Inc., (Burlodge) was chosen and considered sole-source as they are the only provider of a retherm meal delivery system that can provide food service by cafeteria, family or individual tray methods." Sounds significant to me. BusterD (talk) 23:46, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep (assuming accuracy). It is a poor articleon a (probably) significant company.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:34, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
