Katan Technologies

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Fails WP:CORP. No significant coverage by third party sources. Cannot verify the content by EPA and other conference papers/white papers, but it is unlikely that it will specifically reference Katan Technologies. Cntras (talk) 03:38, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - This was already taken down once today per CSD G11, and Google doesn't seem to return much more than directory listings, ads, and other self-published paraphernalia. -- WikHead (talk) 04:24, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I just can't find the reliable coverage that would show that received a depth of coverage or really any coverage at all. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:57, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I speedied this earlier, no indication of notability  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:31, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Looking through some open gov records, I found out that Katan Technologies has already patented and trademarked its biospada product in the United States Patent Office (USPTO) (registration no. 85388860). I ran through Google, and there are some other sources, which appear reliable to me, just not listed in the article itself. And I've seen its Singapore hq before. I think that EPA content and the other sources listed are reliable enough. --Bonkers The Clown (talk) 06:54, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Hello, I am simply a student who is trying to understand how to correctly write a company article. I looked at the templates for other chemical companies such as Ecolab and Diversey, Inc. and thus followed. I just added access to the two documents that were previously inaccessible; does that better the situation? The company is legitimate, and, like Bonkers The Clown mentioned earlier, it is registered in the USPTO. Please help me understand how I can improve this page.

 * Delete We are not a business directory. Millions of things have been patented and trademarked that have never been notable & never will be, and many more that might be some day but are not yet. Sonia513, the way to write a business article is to first find a business to write about that is so important that it is covered by multiple secondary reliable published sources discussing it. Once you have those sources, ask me or anyone of us in this discussion or at WP:Articles for Creation for assistance.  DGG ( talk ) 04:03, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
