doubtful notability and intent to promote Deb (talk) 17:33, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Nominating for deletion or redirect. The content of this article has been discussed at length, and notability seems to be in doubt. My main gripe is with the promotional wording, which, although it has been toned down by myself and other editors, is still clearly written with the intention of publicising the company - for whom the article creator works.

 * Comment almost all of the sourcing looks like press releases. Nwlaw63 (talk) 14:15, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - Promotional wording and intent to promote are reasons to repair an article not reasons to delete one. What needs to be examined here are the sources so as to ascertain whether this topic is notable enough for a stand alone article, or not. I've looked at the sources and while there are many of them (dozens)-- they are all minor mentions. The question for me is: does the sum of all these minor mentions in the 20+ sources I've seen meet the minimum requirement for "significant coverage" as described in WP:CORP or not? At present I'm not sure of the answer.-- — Keithbob • Talk  • 16:44, 28 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Osram, where it is mentioned. I was unable to find more than short mentions in independent sources--not much beyond that this is a lighting company that makes LED panels, operates out of Hong Kong, and was acquired by Osram. Without in-depth independent sources, it is hard to write an article. Thus this topic seems to fail WP:CORP and WP:GNG notability guidelines. That this was a company and is now a subsidiary of Osram is verifiable, however, and Traxon Technologies is a plausible search term, so per WP:PRESERVE, a redirect to the parent company is warranted. --Mark viking (talk) 17:37, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above. Nwlaw63 (talk) 03:10, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect seems like a good solution. The sources that do exist could be used to create a solid paragraph in the Osram article. -- — Keithbob • Talk  • 13:48, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
