Jameco Electronics

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is a promotional article about a company which does not meet the requirements of WP:NCORP or WP:GNG the only references I could find are press releases, routine business coverage and unreliable. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 02:12, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

 * KEEP! Jameco is a very important company to people who are learning to build electronics for the first time: https://makezine.com/?s=Jameco
 * Their importance to the amateur electronics community has only grown since Radio Shack closed most of its retail stores.
 * It is notable for being in this niche business for generations, and is one of only a handful of suppliers to hobbyists.
 * Electronic parts with the Jameco name upon them could last for centuries or even millennia, and if the business fails in the future or gets acquired, future electronics technicians might never be able to identify where those parts originally came from or how they function, or where to get replacement parts from a future corporate behemoth that might buy them decades from now. Plus the wikipedia itself needs some electronics to function.
 * I have no affiliation to that company, I merely see both their value and the need to permanently retain a record of who they are/were.  ♠Ace Frahm♠talk 09:53, 28 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete: Fails WP:NCORP. Can only find basic press releases Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 10:05, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:ORGCRIT and WP:SIRS. This subject has not been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Press releases and the like are not acceptable for denoting notability. Steve Quinn (talk) 20:05, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
