Primordial (company)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A article on company that seems to fail the WP:GNG and WP:NCORP, written by the company's founder. The company does not appear to have ever garnered much notability, and appears to be defunct at this point. The sources that can be found mentioning it are either brief, or run along the lines of press releases. It was brought to AFD once before, back in 2006, and resulted in no consensus. However, I think at this point, its safe to say that the company wound up gaining no notability. Rorshacma (talk) 19:34, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: The article links to brief start-up coverage, such as that in Minnesota Business, 2004. Such as sources as there are, such as "Development deal for Primordial", The Engineer, 2006 are clearly announcement-driven. The firm was taken over by Polaris Industries in 2013, though this isn't mentioned on the Polaris Inc. page and has little more than bullet-points on their website . Arguably a couple of sentences could be added to that page, but might be undue attention? I am not seeing the level of coverage for this former company to meet the current WP:NCORP standards.

 * Delete Article reads like a promotional summary more than anything else, and the sourcing is poorly formatted.TH1980 (talk) 04:36, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, promotional perma-orphan with insufficient sources to meet WP:NCORP/WP:ORGIND. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 21:04, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
