 * Prodded "not notable"; prodding converted to AfD to get better discussion. DIve Rite is a major USA maker of scuba gear, even if it is not heard of much in Europe. I have no financial connection with any scuba gear makers or dealers. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:28, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. みんな空の下 (トーク &#124; I wanna chAngE!) 07:43, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete nothing special or notable here, just a company. WP:NOTDIRECTORY--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:22, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * From what I have heard, Dive Rite is a major maker and likely designer of the sort of stab jacket called "wings" (see Buoyancy compensator (diving)). They are not "just a company". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:53, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Question for Anthony It seems to me you are in favor of keeping this article. If so, why did you nominate it for deletion?--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:00, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I found it prodded, and changed it to AfD to get it better discussed. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:57, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as original nominator (for the prod). I understand it's billed as a "major" US maker of scuba gear, but it still does not currently satisfy the requirements at WP:ORG. --132 18:10, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Dive Rite and Zeagle were important in developing Buoyancy compensator (diving), which item of diving gear as a safety device is more important than many of the thousands of routine pop music albums which are routinely carefully described at length.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Relisting comment. At first glance this seems to be an obvious delete but nobody is mentioning sources (or lack thereof). This needs more discussion. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:34, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ron makes a valid point. However, a Google News search reveals only some hits for a product recall (and not that many), and Google Books does not have much more to offer. Drmies (talk) 00:41, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keeping the delete suggestion that I posted a week ago. --みんな空の下 (トーク &#124; I wanna chAngE!) 01:33, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
