Keep. Why is it that African subjects seem to be held to so much higher standards of notability? Would anyone have even considered nominating for deletion a European or American company with this amount of coverage in books? Shouldn't we be trying to broaden our coverage by encouraging articles like this rather than just concentrating on getting articles on subjects of interest to young college-educated Anglophone male computer geeks?

 * Delete All the information I could find was written by the company itself and was not independent. - Mgm|(talk) 10:49, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * ? The Firebird investment news was carried by over a dozen news sources including Reuters. --Mr Accountable (talk) 14:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of notability as per WP:CORP. What have they done to merit inclusion? Eddie.willers (talk) 14:15, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * ? WP:CORP, first paragraph: An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. --Mr Accountable (talk) 14:24, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. A major industrial company in Kenya. By now, the article has also sufficient sources. Julius Sahara (talk) 14:34, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - exceptionally well referenced stub on notable Kenyan company. Great work Mr Accountable and Julius Sahara. Shouldn't we have list of systemic bias related deletions? That might get more eyes on articles like these than just the country specific deletion notices. Cheers, Paxse (talk) 16:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
