Titanine, Incorporated

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

A company that crashed in the 1930s. No evidence that it is any more notable than hundreds of other companies that crashed then and are forgotten. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 23:37, 11 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete, weakly. The fact that this business is even remembered eighty years after the fact makes me suspicious that it has some notability as a case study.  Whatever else this is, it isn't a case of commercial promotion or conflict of interest.  On the other hand, the claim of notability is unreferenced.  Searching for "titanine" seems to call forth mostly articles on metallurgy. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:26, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Isufficient notability. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:28, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The fact it no longer exists has nothing to do with notablity, otherwise we couldn't have an article on the Roman Empire.  Article is well sourced for its length and the time of its subject.  There appear to be other sources available from Gbooks. Edward321 (talk) 14:18, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment A reminder that notability is not temporary, and the age of the defunctitude of the company might be a barrier of entry for finding online references. I wouldn't come to the conclusion that dead tree sources aren't likely to exist for this entity.
