The AIRSCREEN Company GmbH & Co. KG

Totally non-notable and very promotional article, created by an SPA who has tried to distribute related images (company material) throughout a number of articles (see File:Inflatable_Billboard_in_front_of_a_sports_stadium.jpg, for instance, inserted here). (The account is old, but I might still block it as a spam-only account.) Anyway, I can't find anything on this company in Google News or Books: not notable.

 * I'd say: Keep it! This company is nearly 20 years old. They have invented the inflatable screen and if you do a picture search you find their products all over the world. It's like saying delete Apple because their wiki page has a promotional character, too. If this article seems too promotional it can be edited I guess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.143.47.42 (talk) 17:14, 10 October 2013 (UTC)  — 80.143.47.42 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * No, it's not like saying that at all. Apple's notability is proven by reliable sources, and if all you got is the suggestion "that we Google it", well, then that's not much. Incidentally, I did block the original creator for spamming. Drmies (talk) 17:45, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Even widening the search a bit (to just "The AIRSCREEN Company") reveals very little. Unless someone can come up with a better claim of notability, this article should be deleted.--Larry (talk) 18:58, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Airscreen is original and unique product that completely changed the perspective of open air cinemas. This article explains invention and history of Airscreen providing all the general information about this product. Original Airscreen is present in more than 75 countries worldwide so that should be a good reason to keep this article!" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boris85 (talk • contribs) 15:04, 11 October 2013 (UTC)  — Boris85 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment. Since all of the sources mentioned by the above IP's are either blogs, press reports, or sales pitches, they are unreliable. Can you provide reliable sources of notability?--Larry (talk) 04:50, 12 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't think it needs pointing out that these comments are not just fishy but also fail to point to reliable sources. There's nothing here but company talk and a blog or two. Drmies (talk) 16:35, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm tempted to close this as delete myself. It's clear most or all of the keep votes are connected—probably both to each other and the company. Notability hasn't been demonstrated due to the lack if independent, reliable sources on the article or in this discussion. The New Yorker is a good source, sure, but depicting one of the company's products on a cover means precisely jack squat in terms of WP:N, nor is it clear that they're specifically depicting an Airscreen rather than a similar product. --BDD (talk) 16:47, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
