Dixie-Narco

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No sources in article for preceding 11 years. A BEFORE finds copious sources such as press releases, analyst reports, etc., but nothing constituting SIG, WP:INDEPENDENT or RS coverage. (Note there are false positives due to an EP also named Dixie Narco.) Part of a walled garden with Crane Co. as its centerpiece. Chetsford (talk) 16:34, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to Crane Merchandising Systems. Crane Co. has unified all of its brands (National, Dixie-Narco, Automatic Products, and GPL) under the CMS umbrella and the D-N brand no longer exists.   ANDROS1337  TALK 13:16, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

 * I might support the redirect if I could see any sign of notability for Crane Merchandising (I can't). This is an interesting article discussing a legal dispute between Dixie Narco and Donald Trump in the NYT. This gives a full description of Dixie-Narco and appears to be an independent RS. This is a trade mag but seems to give extensive coverage to Dixie-Narco. This also appears to be significant coverage regarding an employee suggestion scheme at Dixie-Narco.
 * So I appear to be in my normal situation of starting out ready to vote delete, but by the end of doing WP:BEFORE thinking that notability is just about met. KEEP FOARP (talk) 13:25, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Which criteria are you applying to the references in order to establish notability? You should apply WP:NCORP. This NYT reference fails WP:CORPDEPTH and is essentially a mention-in-passing. I believe that the reference from "Text with Cases and Software to Strategic Management and Business" is good and meets the criteria in NCORP (although I can only see a snippet). The page from the "Beverage Industry" magazine appears to be based on a company announcement as as such, fails WP:ORGIND. Finally, the entry in Factory magazine is difficult to evaluate. I cannot get access to the full copy. I'm leaning towards a Keep since we have at least one good source and giving the benefit of the doubt, have at least one other potential.
