Mazoni

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

All primary and secondary sources for the company have been lost. The company website disappeared in 2016. A single user was the first and last contributor to the article, ending in 2016. The user's last edit was the article in 2016.

Said user has made a concerted effort to justify the article's notability here, and here. Aonus (talk) 08:39, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Delete, but not for the nominated reason. Searches reveal next to nothing about the company and the likely conclusion is that is simply an extinct non-notable company. The lack of an internet presence is not a reason for deletion.  Velella  Velella Talk 08:41, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: The article contains a couple of claims which could indicate notability but even tailoring searches to be specific to those claims is providing no verification. One is left with little beyond a Wayback NewsAndReviews review of an Auna product which the article says was a brand of the company, but that would not in itself be sufficient for WP:NCORP and the overall problem with finding independent coverage of the company in its lifespan and presumed demise makes this unsustainable as an article.

 * A hoax: There is no chance that a company in Sweden with nearly 60 thousand (!) employees and a revenue of 132 billion SEK would be completely unknown on the internet. And if a company of this size had collapsed or merged, that would have been big news in itself. Moreover: While there are probably dozens of Anton Engbergs out there, the first names of the other key people are, taken as a group, unusual enough to be unlikely, and not a single one of them can be easily identified on the internet. "Headquartered in Östermalmstorg"? Östermalmstorg is not a district, but a fairly small square, where people go to buy vegetables or flowers. --Hegvald (talk) 14:05, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Probable hoax. In addition to what Hegvald says I can't find any contact info on the web pages stored in the Wayback Machine, which is quite unusual but consistent with a hoaxer that doesn't want to be contacted. Sjö (talk) 19:48, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Snow delete per above, clearly a hoax. IntoThinAir (talk) 19:49, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete almost definitely doesn't exist --DannyS712 (talk) 05:57, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - No comment about being a hoax, but I will say that there is no significant coverage so clearly fails WP:NCORP.
 * Delete. Not verifiable, hoax. /Julle (talk) 17:29, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. In addition to the other comments noted previously, the company president ("Gåvan Stendahl") and vice chairman ("Frösten Engström") generate no Google hits at all apart from this article and mirrors, while the CEO ("Diogenes Söderström") is found on only this page and a site that appears to compile corporate information directly from Wikipedia. Such online invisibility is simply not conceivable for high corporate officials of an actual company. Furthermore, the supposed "OEM microprocessor manufacturer" acquired by Mazoni in 2003, Tinzan Electric, also has no known Internet presence. The company could not have introduced its supposed "wireless control module system" for an IEEE 802.11 network in 1992, because that standard did not come into existence for another five years. The article creator has almost no edits, and no substantial ones at all, outside of this article. All available information appears to point to a long-lived hoax.
