 * Keep It's a publicly traded, major company. The article in its current format is not blatant advertising, but I gather there may have been some problems with the writing. Problems with writing, however, are not a reason to delete if the subject is notable, and this subject is. --MelanieN (talk) 01:19, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep Given the school project hijack problems flagged by PhilKnight, I think it would be hasty to get rid of the article. Fundamentally it does seem to meet notability guidelines – I'd like to see more information about its history as a co-operative, which appears to date back to the 1920s . It is also mentioned as being part of the reason for the foundation of the California Avocado Commission, suggesting that more and better-quality information should be retrievable. Clearly it has to be rebalanced to lose the non NPOV and investor-speak, but potentially could be a useful and informative article. Libby norman (talk) 10:35, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
