No indication of meeting WP:CORP; even if it did, it's WP:PROMO enough to merit TNT. John from Idegon (talk) 00:23, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as blatant and extensive spam. Wikipedia is not a product brochure, so WP:NOT applies. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:52, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete obvious corp spam DarjeelingTea (talk) 15:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep A look at the previous AfD shows a suggestion to look at Google books.  Arguments for NOT are proofs by assertion, for the obvious reason that identifying problems could lead to the fixing of problems.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:05, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. DW are one of the big names of drum hardware. Agree that the current article needs some serious work, but deletion is not the correct solution. The article contains more than enough material to verify notability, just check a few of the big-name endorsements for example. Andrewa (talk) 05:53, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep The article needs a lot of copyediting to remove the promotion of products but there are sufficient independent third party reliable sources to confirm the notability of DW Drums. For example, this Huff Post article mentions DW Drums being stolen, here's one mentioning their use in an Alice Cooper setup and here's another from Rolling Stone magazine mentioning their use and this book on the history of drums.  -- HighKing ++ 16:46, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
