Rada Manufacturing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable company. Survived an earlier AfD in 2006, but has been sitting around since then with not a single reliable source. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:44, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete No 3rd party references; no evidence found to verify the firm's notability. AllyD (talk) 21:56, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: If you search for "Rada knives" it brings up a lot more references. Notability from original Afd still holds. Article needs to be developed, but that shouldn't be a reason to delete. I've seen a lot worse out there. --Funandtrvl (talk) 18:54, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment That and Rada Cutlery certainly bring up various search returns, but do any of them provide more than evidence of existence - I couldn't see any that substantiate notability? AllyD (talk) 20:11, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, this writer claims they're the best in the world-- http://blogcritics.org/culture/article/rada-the-best-knives-in-the/
 * Update- I've added 4 references to the article. --Funandtrvl (talk) 22:36, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * None of them a reliable source of the type that would demonstrate notability. One just a directory entry, the others local journalistic coverage of some of those "fundraiser" activities. Nothing here that would constitute serious, non-trivial in-depth coverage of the company as such in a serious published source. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:41, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete notability is not about number of results. There is no extensive coverage about this company that makes this company notable. A few comments and mentions about its community involvement in local press is not the same as notable. Ref #4 is not a reputable source. Its a list of companies.  #1 is Manta entry that any company can have.  #2&3 are simply a mention that this product, as opposed to something else were used for their fundraisers and it was not about the company itself.

 * Delete I found virtually no coverage ABOUT this company - just lots of newsbriefs along the lines of "the ladies' guild will be selling Rada Cutlery for charity." That's not significant coverage as Wikipedia requires. --MelanieN (talk) 23:32, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
