Shermco Industries

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Questionably notable and especially unacceptable current state with not much changing since starting (by a "SBellPR") in June 2009. The best my searches was this, this (Books particularly found at page 2, fourth from the top "leading provider of rotating apparatus and electrical power system testing, commissioning, repair, maintenance and training" making it likely one of the best links there), this and this. Pinging and. SwisterTwister  talk  06:39, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep failure to improve is not a reason to delete. It does appear to be a significant company. It has acquired some other companies too. There are some non-press release info out there such as http://dfw.cbslocal.com/video/11166263-eye-on-technology-shermco-industries/ and http://openjurist.org/613/f2d/1314/shermco-industries-inc-v-secretary-of-air-force Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:13, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:GNG and possibly also WP:CORP. I have added some 5-6 cites, none of those Graeme Bartlett mentions though, and there are more out there for those who want to flesh this out further. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 14:02, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep as meeting WP:GNG. VMS Mosaic (talk) 03:12, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. as failing GNG. references for local bizjournals are no better than PR. A video on cbslocal, ditto. A notice of a minor court case involving it, irrelevant.  DGG ( talk ) 04:14, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

 * I'm hoping for a balanced consensus and I'm not sure if others are going to comment so would you, ? SwisterTwister   talk  05:45, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Pinging again in case he missed or never got the other ping.  SwisterTwister   talk  23:16, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
 * That kind of pinging is not obviously appropriate. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 01:36, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Read that first paragraph and that's my intention, "notify other editors of ongoing discussions, provided that it is done with the intent to improve the quality of the discussion by broadening participation to more fully achieve consensus". I simply want a better consensus than five and now four votes (removed the one below). Rather than criticizing my AfDs, AfD could use more useful votes (it's worth noting I've been one of the hardest working AfDers so I doing almost all the work myself).

*delete - reads like an advertisement. non-notable. DangerDogWest (talk) 06:41, 24 October 2015 (UTC) See user's page to see they are not an authentic user. SwisterTwister  talk  01:47, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Keep - Doesn't really matter if I'm pinged or not. I would have looked at this article on Saturday. I usually look at still open discussions on the final day and either close (if they have reached a keep consensus - I'm not an admin so I can't close deletes), comment if warranted, or relist if I think more discussion would be a good thing. Having said all that, on to the article. The article currently has 6 citations, provided by, 3 of which all deal with the same event. The CNBC article is a very good citation. The other two articles are nice, but very brief and not in-depth. But going through the rest of the citations on News, those were the only 6 good citations on News, the rest were either trivial mentions or press releases. I'm not keen on either of Graeme Bartlett's cites, the second is merely the posting of a lawsuit. Newspapers had nada. Books had only trivial mentions or recaps of the lawsuit versus the Air Force. However, the number of places where the lawsuit is talked about seems to indicate significance. In addition, there's this, and what appears to be several more nice articles.
