Fails WP:ORG - I asked creator to find more sources but they haven't. Dougweller (talk) 14:28, 23 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - I get the impression the creator of this article may not be familiar with Wikipedia guidelines about creating articles. He has close connections with this company viz. http://www.alibaba.com/member/de112028362.html where his name is given as a contact person for placing orders for the company's products, and even some of the phraseology in this article is similar to that used there. He  also refers to his long association with the company  here: http://de.linkedin.com/pub/shrikanth-venkateshappa/19/738/673. I note, though,  that this article was created only about a month ago and last updated by him on 14 January 2013. The company's sales representatives  are this week attending the following event in India: http://www.kimo.de/index.php?file=messe/messe-2013_electrotec.html&lang=DE. However, I have been unable to find anything about the company or its notability on the German Wikipedia. As far as I have been able to ascertain, it is one more medium-sized German company, doing whatever it does.--Zananiri (talk) 20:55, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete I have checked the German sources. Only trivial coverage of the subject by secondary sources, WP:CORP. On their German website, they self declare as mittelständisches Unternehmen (en: medium-sized businesses) . The articles interwiki links are faked, as they link to List of companies of Germany on other wikis in fact. There is no arcticle about the company on any other wiki. The author is presumably in a WP:COI, as an employee (Business Development Manager South Asia bei KIMO Industrie-Elektronik GmbH). --Ben Ben (talk) 18:29, 25 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment -  In fact, regarding the interwiki links being faked, I note that the creator of this article himself added the name of this company, where he is an employee, to the list of German companies on the English Wiki on 14 December 2012, a day after creating this article. --Zananiri (talk) 19:50, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
