Halyvourgiki S.A.

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Quite a non-neutral article (e.g. "one of the main steel producers in Greece") but more importantly claims made are not substantiated, and although there is a mention of its existence here at Bloomberg Business Week, no other secondary source coverage appears findable.

I hope we are not kidding here. An article about Greece's largest steel plant, one of Greece's largest corporations, is considered for deletion ? If anything, this article should be expanded, and this notice should be added (my focus is on other industries, but I hope somebody will work on it soon). "No other secondary source coverage appears findable"??? About Halyvourgiki ??!!! Are we talking about the same company ? Anyway, answering in good faith, see here and here (look at letter "H") for example. Skartsis (talk) 17:16, 20 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Lack of reliable secondary sources is an endemic problem in Greece and plagues many articles. Halyvourgiki is one of the few major steel mills in Greece. In the past they operated two blast furnaces (the brightly colored facilities) but nowdays they run their electric furnaces on scrap steel. The article can be improved somewhat. The text can be toned down a little to avoid POV statements, as it does not contain extreme or inaccurate claims. Some basic info can be included from the company website. However without independent sources the article shall remain a stub. SV1XV (talk) 17:22, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I can't find many English-language sources, but I do see a few that indicate that this company is one of the largest steel producers in Greece, or even the largest. Therefore, the article should be kept. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:11, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Major steel mill. Bountiful references on Greek google. Should not have been nominated. Added a reference from the top newspaper in Greece.  Nipson anomhmata   (Talk) 15:20, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
