Delete. Non-notable company. Article had been deleted by expired PROD. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 05:37, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Keep. I am the article's primary author. It is my belief that this company meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines as it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable independent secondary sources. These include those used as references in the article itself, such as the recycling industry periodicals Scrap Magazine and Recycling Today. The company is also extensively covered in the publications of the Bureau of International Recycling and Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete per WP:ORG. Industry periodicals are usually not sufficient to prove notability, in my view, since they are rarely entirely reliable and independent. I'm not seeing any sign of extensive coverage. Indeed, a number of the cites in this article appear to be based primarily on press releases (bir.org and some of the 'recycling today' ones) or are simply summaries of industry events/statistics ('scrap beat'). More than half of them are from the same source (recycling today), which is ok, but tends to speak against a decent breadth of independent coverage. The isri one seems to only mention the company in passing as part of a list of names. Overall, I just don't see that it's enough to establish notability or importance.-- K orr u ski Talk 14:46, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
