Fast + Epp

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication of how this might meet notability guidelines. Lacks citations to significant coverage in reliable sources. Only references provided are primary ones including a press release. And a Yahoo News article which appears to be based on a press release. Google news search on the title brings up zero hits, same with a book search. RadioFan (talk) 14:08, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment - Three different searches provided several results here ("Richmond Olympic Oval Fast + Epp", several news articles and only one press release though the Canadian Architect links read like PR but I can't find any evidence to support this) and here (provided some of the same results but with two different, "Forestry: Pine-beetle payback" (dead link) and "This week: Good news/Bad news" (brief mention)). One of the articles from above is this one from the UK which mentions the Richmond Olympic Oval at the second page. Through the third search which also provided some of the same results, I found this which mentions the awards. I also found another news article here which also mentions the 2009 award. I found this which mentions the Richmond Olympic Oval and lists them as a consultant. Finally, I found this which briefly mentions them. I know it seems they haven't received much attention recently but could they be notable for all of this especially for recognition from the Institution of Structural Engineers? If so, I vote keep. This supports one of their recent projects, VanDusen Botanical Gardens. SwisterTwister   talk  20:22, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Comment Each of the articles on the oval are on the oval and mention this company only in passing. The articles concerning the awards are of unclear notability.--RadioFan (talk) 00:31, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Several websites have information on this company like those that are listed on the references page; however this article just needs more information and some more research on. If this company exists, as it obviously does, I think it only needs more research. I vote keep it. JoJaEpp (talk) 02:57, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment There must be sources isn't the best justification for keeping an article. Either it does or it doesn't.  This AFD has been extended twice.  If sufficient references cant be located, it should be deleted.  MBisanz, if you feel strongly that you can find resources, at some other time, the other option is to WP:Userfy the article under your care so that you may have sufficient time to find references.--RadioFan (talk) 00:31, 6 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete. Article is about a local engineering firm.  Given their proliferation, trade awards don't really count much for notability, and the rest seems to be obvious PR insertions. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:21, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
