S. M. Jaleel and Company

The article has nothing form which it is notable as it has no presence of any sources or coverage. As well, statements such as "S.M. Jaleel also prides themselves on successfully competing against such soft drink giants such as Pepsi and Coca-Cola" really sound like an advertisement. — Do U(knome)?  yes...or no 06:46, 12 November 2008 (UTC) —  Do U(knome)?  yes...or no 06:46, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep To paraphrase Reagan, "keep, but verify". This article needs references, but the subject and its history to 1924 seem notable. ChildofMidnight (talk) 09:03, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - possibly sourcing issues, but obvious systematic bias issues persuad me towards keep. Wily D  12:36, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Some notability revealed in Google news search. Enough evidence that is a major company in its country. Michellecrisp (talk) 22:50, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: I haven't had the time right now to take-it-on.  In the short free time I have leftover I've been trying to add appropriate referencing to other articles I've done that should have been referenced right off the bat. I didn't quite know how to do it in the past.  Anyway- As far as the notability of this company.  The next time you're in the supermarket in your area take a look for their most popular item the "Chubby" juice drinks for kids ( http://www.chubbykidsclub.com/ ). You may have probably passed them a bunch of times.  They've literally become the replacement of those sugar & water "Teeny drinks" that used to sell in the stores... Many of the large supermarkets in the US now carry the Chubby juice drinks. If you see it, take a look on the back you'll likely see the "S.M. Jaleel & Co. Ltd." name.

 * Keep. Even more sources available from a Google Books search including this one that describes it as "the premier soft drink company in the Caribbean". Phil Bridger (talk) 20:25, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - it's one of the largest soft drink companies in the Caribbean. Guettarda (talk) 22:07, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
