O.B. Macaroni Company

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Barely any reliable sources on Google web and news searches. A few Google Books hits, but I'm not sure if that's enough for notability. I'm not seeing any claim of importance, but A7 was declined. Adam9007 (talk) 03:03, 4 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - based on this 100+ year old company being historically significant, both for the Texas region and for the food production industry.  More research is needed to identify sources, many of which may only be available in archives offline, especially newspaper coverage during the early 1900s when this company was known as the Fort Worth Macaroni Company.  For starters, check out this blog with info about the company, and pointers to a May 17, 1903 newspaper article about the company in the Telegram.  We can WP:AGF that more sources like this exist in the historical archives. --  1Wiki8 ........................... (talk) 10:22, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. There is no indication that the company was ever significant. The references are worthless. The Congressional Record prints naything that any member of Congress eds it--it does not imply that it ever was actually spoken on the floor. Theo ther two references are the merest notes that show nothing more than existence. If actual references can be found, then it may be possible to make an article--I think we should in generalinterpret notability broadly for pioneer companies in a region.

 * Delete -- I was not able to find any sources; not every 100+ company is notable. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:59, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Age doesn't imply notability. There is no indication that this ever had a significant effect on culture/cuisine to merit coverage. If sources do not cover it, we shouldn't have an article on it. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 11:51, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
