Future Sonics

Little coverage which fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Fails WP:GNG. Störm  (talk)  13:21, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Leaning keep from NAMM/TEC award (http://legacy.tecawards.org/hof/10techofdetails.html), but willing to be convinced otherwise. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:04, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - I have repaired link rot and determined that, in addition to prestigious industry awards, there is significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. ~Kvng (talk) 16:01, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't think the coverage cited is anything but PR/business as usual level. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:45, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * keep in mind that Future Sonics did their most notable and groundbreaking work in the early 1980s. It's going to be difficult to find coverage of that in online sources. ~Kvng (talk) 15:42, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Then if offline sources are found we can look at them. A lot of English language 'offline' stuff is in fact online (Google Books). We cannot assume that sources exist. If they do not, and nobody can (or bothers) to find them, the topic fails GNG. It is pretty simple. The burden of proof is on the article creator (aka spammer, in many of those promotional company article cases). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:38, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Coverage would be in audio enthusiast magazines and trade publications. These are not on Google Books. Also, have you tried WP:AGF? ~Kvng (talk) 15:37, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep- I'm having trouble finding sources beyond press releases, but it does seem that serveral well known artists use their products.--Rusf10 (talk) 05:42, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm undecided - there are not enough references that meet the criteria for establishing notability - but I am unfamiliar with the awards. These to me appear to indicate the company is notable and significant in their field and as such, I'm leaning towards a Keep but will wait to see if any more comments in relation to the awards are made. -- HighKing ++ 14:24, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Receiving a TEC Award is a very respectable achievement for an audio manufacturer. ~Kvng (talk) 15:37, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
