Leadec

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

First time doing AfD process, so sorry for anything I'm doing wrong. This article seems to fail WP:ORG because of a lack of significant coverage. Sources 1,2,3,6,11 are primary sources. Source 4 is an article largely written by the company CEO, which would make it fail independence. Sources 5 and 12 are seemingly press releases authored or co-authored by the company. Source 7 is no longer functional, and has no backup. The remaining sources (8,9,10) all seem okay, but none of them seem to give substantial coverage about Leadec outside of a single acquisition event per source; plus, sources 8 and 9 do not bring the strongest face forward for notability, neither being a nationally- or regionally-significant news source. In addition, a quick search of Leadec turns up no notable incidents which have been widely covered. There are also no easy merges or redirects which can be done, given that no important personnel within the company, nor companies which have acquired or been acquired by Leadec, have Wikipedia pages. Therefore, I believe the article for Leadec should be deleted. Leafy46 (talk) 02:48, 5 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Just another note - I also took a look at the German page for the company to see if it could be expanded, and it seems to suffer from the same problems. Specifically, it mostly relies on primary sources, and the other sources are a video which doesn't exist anymore and two online newspaper articles from seemingly small and unnotable sources.
