Calvo (company)

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

This article is a mere directory listing entry for an apparently non-notable company. Of the two references provided, one is self-referential, and the other is a trivial mention. Aside from lacking any encyclopedic content, this article provides no assertion that the subject is notable enough for inclusion. Of the six google news hits that come up for "calvo fish", only one is about the subject of this article, and it is a trivial piece by an armed forces supplier trade periodical. If this article is to exist, then the name should be changed to "Grupo Calvo", the proper name for the company.  Jerry  delusional ¤ kangaroo 23:07, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - I have more references, like Grupo Calvo closing its El Aaiun cannery WhisperToMe (talk) 02:32, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * And another from ABC.es, a Spanish news site - - I think it's clear that this Spanish company is notable. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - A quick search of Google and AltaVista yielded several results; and I'm sure, given some time, the originating editor can grow this article further. I do agree the title should probably be changed to "Grupo Calvo", as this is how the company was referred to on websites I viewed. Anyhow, since at least some notability has been established, I feel that deletion is not warranted at this time. -- Nsaum75 (talk) 09:46, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename -- €420 million in sales? This ain't Joe's Tuna Shack. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  20:32, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It helps if you select "all dates" when doing a Google News search . Yes, there are lots of false positives in the 795 (not 6) hits, but one of the first results confirms that this is the largest fish cannery in South America . Phil Bridger (talk) 11:10, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
