 * Comment Very promotional article, might have to dig a bit to find sources. One company history form a newspaper in 1987 . Might possibly find others. Oaktree b (talk) 15:42, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete No significant coverage. Awarded for exporter of the year, but reading up on that, appears not to be "significant award" as required in WP:CORPDEPTH. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 09:47, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I was surprised I couldn't find more RS on the company-- certainly their products are in every pharmacy (and most bathroom cabinets) I've ever been in. I couldn't find much via Google or Newsbank unfortunately. I'm mindful that a lack of sources is not a reason to delete-- it's a reason to improve the article. I'd like to see the page stay, but I couldn't easily find RS to help. Cabrils (talk) 02:00, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply. WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and I can't find any, topic fails WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 20:42, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
