Per WP:NCORP. I've added more sources to address original AFD nomination. I welcome edits to the page as I am new to this. I respectfully object to deletion as I've added sources including multiple NYT articles and Garrett Wade is iconic in the woodworking and mail order/catalog industries. Philip Murphy User talk:Philip_Murphy I've updated the article with the sources above from Whpq  User talk:Whpq. Thanks! Philip Murphy User talk:Philip_Murphy  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - The NY Times article is a very good one for establishing notability. Others, like Lee Valley and Lie-Nielsen aren't what would be considered reliable sources for the purpose of establishing notability.  However,  coverage about their catalog in Popular Mechanics, and coverage about them in a book about social media do establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 02:33, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  J 947 (c)  23:58, 19 April 2017 (UTC) The company has multiple New York Times articles covering them here, here, and here. They have coverage about their catalog in Popular Mechanics. They also have coverage in a book about social media.Philip Murphy (talk) 18:06, 20 April 2017 (UTC) Conflict of Interest Disclosure: When I created my profile, I listed my job as "Marketing Manager at Garrett Wade. It still reflects that. I do receive a yearly salary from Garrett Wade. Per recommendation from Whpq  I am explicitly disclosing COI here and will refrain from making future edits unless explicitly asked to do so by admins. Thank you for your help with rules. I thought I was in compliance. I respect Wikipedia and do not want to break the rules.Philip Murphy (talk) 02:49, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - The article at this point isn't at all promotional, so there's no issue with it looking like advertising. -- Whpq (talk) 16:57, 21 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep appears to pass NCORP L3X1 (distant write)  16:41, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NCORP. The multiple NY times definately establish notability --Kostas20142 (talk) 15:50, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
