Skinner Incorporated

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Page fails notability guidelines for businesses - coverage in references is trivial, it's about works of art that were sold at Skinner with no other coverage. Subject of references is fundamentally not about the page and can not be used for any purpose except where the work of art was sold. WLU (talk) 22:27, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - this article indicates it is the foursth largest auction house in the US, and a Google news search shows a lot of articles that are behind pay walls, however the sources do appear to exist. The promotional tone is an issue for editting and not a reason for deletion as it is not blatant spam. -- Whpq (talk) 13:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I dispute the nominator's statement that the references in the article are not about the subject. For most articles about people or organisations any sources will be about their work, e.g. sources about a musician will be about his/her performances and recordings, sources about a software company will be about their products, sources about a widget manufacturer will be about their widgets, and in the same way sources about an auction house will be about their sales. As Whpq says their are plenty of Google News hits about Skinner's work. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:24, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Article makes explicit claims of notability in terms of its auction sales and records, and the claim is supported by reliable and verifiable sources. Alansohn (talk) 20:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Notability is more than confirmed. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:14, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
