Leland Milling Company

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

A company that appears not to have been subject to substantial 3rd party coverage. The one source of historical information is in the form of a one-page personal reminiscence in a local paper; everything else is either primary or WP:Run-of-the-mill, and I'm not turning up anything better. Not seeing a notable subject here. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:07, 20 February 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Timothytyy (talk) 00:10, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies and Utah. Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:07, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge. Either a sentence or two into Spanish Fork, Utah on it being presumably one of the oldest established businesses in the area, or more of the article into Leland, Utah, which is a stub. My searches haven't been productive in establishing notability for the business. Rupples (talk) 01:24, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. I don't see much notability here or good sources. And the page is created by WP:SPA even using his userpage as a backup, so COI isn't off the table, too. Speaking about merging, I'd also consider Archibald Gardner. Suitskvarts (talk) 20:40, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Additional 3rd party reference added. Plaidchampion (talk) 19:18, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * , do NOT mess with the AfD template or add spurious AfD messages to the talk page. An admin or uninvolved user will close this discussion and determine the outcome. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:38, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * As for the additional sources: you added two business directory entries. Hey ho. These do nothing to demonstrate notability. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:40, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. The phone directory listings don't contribute to notability, but taken together the news articles from KSL radio and television and from Spanish Fork Press (posted on the Daily Herald website) seem sufficiently detailed to demonstrate notability.

 * Response As per WP:SIRS, we don't combine sources or aggregate sources in order to establish notability, each individual source must meet all the criteria.  HighKing++ 16:01, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP criteria applies. Although this is an old business, I am still unable to find a single source that comes close to meeting the criteria.  HighKing++ 16:03, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, the KSL radio article is very obviously a paid piece of churnalism, it is incredibly promotional. Spanish Fork, Utah is a small town of less than 50,000 people, meaning it is highly unlikely that its local newspaper is a reliable source. As a result, this company fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP.

 * Delete It's a local feed mill, not unlike any hundred of other ones. It will have some mentions in the local press, but nothing that makes it stand out from any other feed mill. If the building was a registered historical site, it could perhaps have an article, but the business isn't. And a phone book listing to prove notability is about as far away from GNG as we can be. Oaktree b (talk) 03:28, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Indeed, a feed mill. Sourcing insufficient to stand up the article let alone prove a GNG pass, which it doesn't. AFAICS the company's premises is not the original 1890s building, either, so the historical angle doesn't really play. "Leland Milling Company continues to create opportunities for their animal feed to be available" is a nice testament to the power of capitalism, but this is not a notable company per WP:NCORP.
