Can't find sources meeting CORPDEPTH, nevermind multiple such articles as would be required under our guidelines. joe deckertalk 02:14, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Searches noticeably only found several press releases and passing mentions, nothing at all to suggest even a minimally better notable article. Notifying past AfD users, , and  in case they're not aware of this current AfD.  SwisterTwister   talk  08:47, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Not sure why you don't think there's WP:CORPDEPTH. The Bloomberg article is a perfectly clear-cut discussion of the company, and the WSJ and Columbia Business article are pretty good. The WSJ article is not directly about Eaton but certainly discussed the company in some depth; the Columbia Business article discussed the company directly but is arguably not a nationally-recognized journal (no bitching, please, Columbia alum Wikipedians!).  The article needs work, but that's never a reason for AfD. I may have a go at improving this one.   P.S. Thanks  for prompting me. Fiachra10003 (talk) 16:11, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge looks like the firm has been acquired by Stifel Financial, retain the article's history as a redirect. 009o9 (talk) 09:05, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Fair observation, but this would be premature as the acquisition has been "agreed" but almost can't happen until some time in 2016. Fiachra10003 (talk) 14:57, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - This company is covered fairly regularly by the private equity, hedge fund press as well as larger publications such as the Wall Street Journal. The acquisition by Stifel Financial, which closed on Jan. 4 give this company increased prominence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.239.59.247 (talk) 16:30, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
