Burroughs & Chapin

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, references to date fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic therefore fails GNG/WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 15:58, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom; extraordinary claims need extraordinary sourcing, Bearian (talk) 17:42, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment is an encyclopedia entry alone, even it were a single source, sufficient for a WP article?  started a lengthy discussion on this basis here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation. -2pou (talk) 21:27, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I think a single source can be sufficient. But I don't know that you need to get there here. Some other coverage for "Burroughs & Collins": book on history of Myrtle Beach, Encyclopedia of Southern Culture, dozens of articles at newspapers.com over a period of decades but I'm not motivated enough to look through all of them.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep assuming this article is also covering the predecessor corporation, Burroughs & Collins, which seems to have played an extremely important role in the history of Myrtle Beach. Calliopejen1 (talk) 23:22, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak delete, even if it has played a major role there, the city is very small. Were it Manhattan or a national capital... Geschichte (talk) 07:20, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * If this is deleted, Franklin Burroughs (businessman) should also be looked into. Geschichte (talk) 07:20, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
