Combimac

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence for any notability for this manufacturer of electric motors. They may be used in many different applications but that, of itself, does not equate to notability. Only two references, one of which is back to Wikipedia and the other a newspaper cutting. Searches reveal nothing that would count to notability - own web -site Linkedin, other Wikipedia articles etc. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 14:20, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks you for your input. What would increase the notability? Compared to Wikipedia pages of other manufacturers and their history in our naval business, exampleThales_Group or Schottel_(company), we do not spot genuine differences. We have a Linkedin site, would this help linking it to Wikipedia? --Duc1199 (talk) 15:02, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * @Duc1199, see WP:GNG and WP:CORP - particularly WP:CORPDEPTH. An organisation requires multiple in-depth sources which are completely independent of the company in question. Whether other companies have articles is irrelevant to whether this one is notable, but the ones you linked have independent sources listed and one is a Fortune 500 company. Combimac currently has far too few sources to support claims of notability, as the only ones provided are to a local paper covering a minor industrial dispute 45 years ago. Also, by use of the pronoun 'we' I assume you are editing while being connected to the company. This is strongly discouraged as to avoid potential conflicts of interest, and to keep Wikipedia free of advertising and promotional material. El Pharao (talk) 16:07, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Of note is that the article has been significantly copy edited after the nomination for deletion, and several new sources were added.
 * Thanks for the feed back and the link WP:CORP en WP:CORDEPTH. The information is clear and understood. We (a group of people gathering the information) just started and are trying to get adjusted with the do and don"ts on this platform. We will try to amend the information in line with the guidelines on organizations and companies. ''By the way: the dispute was not minor as it lasted more than 6 months and it became the longest in Dutch history. The union said they would put the company out of business and so they did. The attitude of the unions changed afterwards, as instead of saving jobs these were destroyed. The University of Groningen still provides the example as teaching material on unions. It became regular national news in the papers and television and the company was re-erected with help of the former Prime Minister.
