Pelican Products

 * – ( View AfD View log )

While this company may make some of the best products in their field, the article does nothing to establish notability. These products were used in several movies, and are used by government agencies. There was apparently an episode of a Travel Channel show about these products, and a couple of reprinted press releases. Maybe there are better refs out there, but this is little more than a company profile at present. ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  14:31, 3 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - It's introduction states the subjects notability and the article is sourced. Your reason for deletion almost serves as a reason to keep; it simply needs to be expanded. 08OceanBeach S.D.  19:28, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep, weakly. Google Books search reveals that this business has gotten bits of independent coverage in a variety of handbooks for backpackers, scuba divers, and camera enthusiasts.  None of this coverage is extensive, but it shows that the brand is well known among people who want waterproof cases for their stuff.  Their police contracts get them some Google News coverage as well.  The article goes off on the wrong tangent when it lists movies in which police officers, spies, or other adventurers are shown using the stuff they make, but this business seems at least notable enough to support a stub. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 19:07, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep Article clearly passes WP:GNG; it has over 200 news mentions, and 100 Non-patent mentions in a Google Scholar search. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 21:09, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Regarding the statement, "the article does nothing to establish notability": WP:Speedy delete criteria A7 is "No indication of importance". "This..is a lower standard than notability."  WP:NNC states that, "The notability guidelines do not apply to article...content".  Unscintillating (talk) 04:41, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm wondering how a topic can be "apparently an episode of a Travel Channel show about these products" and not notable.  Unscintillating (talk) 04:41, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
