 * Comment: if the claim in the article "Medical Corps evolved into the leading world manufacturer of thyroid blocker KIO3" is true, then the company is probably notable. However, sourcing is difficult due >99% of search results for "Medical Corps" being unrelated. --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:25, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - I am certainly no master researcher, but I find only retail links, press releases, and web chatter. I don't see references to the company as a manufacturer, but as a distributor/retailer, and none of it convinces me of wp:notability.  On the flip side, the only editor pursuing the deletion is an anon, and the anon did not even fill in the (I know it is complex and annoying the 1st time) AfD.  I applied the editorial hatchet and cut out some very advertiserish stuff, and haven't been able to make the article better... finding sources is just not my strong suit, and no interested editor is supplying any.- sinneed (talk) 18:13, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I was unable to confirm the claims in the article. It may be that since they manufacture potassium iodate instead of iodine that the claim is true but I couldn't find reliable sources to support it. Perhaps someone else will have better luck.

 * Delete: The name (of the company, not the article) is certainly unfortunate in this context. Every military and quasi-military organization has their own medical corps and sorting through the Google News hits to find something on this particular medical corp is daunting. I did try however and didn't turn up much. The listed sources seem to be either ads or from very specialized sources which are not suitable for notability under WP:ORG. Even the company's official website doesn't have much, just an order form for what appears to be their sole product. It's pointless to even try to verify the claims in the article, the subject simply doesn't meet notability standards.--RDBury (talk) 06:02, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong delete: I am the (inept) anon mentioned above who initiated the "delete" process. I support deletion for all the good reasons advanced by other editors above. 140.139.35.250 (talk) 18:27, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
