Hey, @ Kerri9494! So what I generally look for is 3 instances of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, although really two will do it, I just try to find three myself to be on the safe side.
The Goldberg is definitely 1. The WSJ may be 2; I can't seem to get to it, is it primarily about the company, or does it also discuss the cookware in some detail? The Daily Defender...can you tell whether that's an ad, as versus an editorial piece? It doesn't have a byline, but not every editorial piece did even in 1960. The NYT article
I've added a further reading section with the book used as a source at nl.wiki. Honestly, I think an entire book about the company can probably be assumed to provide enough coverage of their cookware to provide a support for notability. We have a lot of Dutch editors, maybe ask for assistance at Wikipedia:WikiProject Netherlands? Someone may be able to access that source. Valereee ( talk) 18:49, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
