Comment from article creator Not only press release, so your reason to deletion is wrong. [1]. Karlhard ( talk) 03:30, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- delete no independent notability and close to no content. Staszek Lem ( talk) 23:40, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
- A newbie editor lists that there is no independent notability, without an easy explanation to delete? Please check the references, and expand your reason for deletion.

- Comment - I'm not aware of any precedent about whether NASDAQ listing confers automatic notability. Bearian ( talk) 21:34, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- It doesn't, however I may cite a contributor:
- "*Comment: I would have to look into this but
prima facie I would say if the stock of a company is traded on NASDAQ it has some notability however, if the share price drops below $.10 we would be looking at an historical company. As far as the new editor someone can explain that the many failures of
Thomas Edison didn't stop success.

- Keep same reason as first AfD. VMS Mosaic ( talk) 05:18, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- Delete I'm pretty amazed it was kept at the first AfD-- the reason referred to was that it was a new ed. who had written a great many unrelated articles and was clearly uninvolved, but that is not a reason for keeping, far from it, considering there is not one bit of evidence for notability. LISTED refers to the main board of the NYSE and the London SE and similar in other countries. It does not refer to NASDAQ. Multiple AfDs have accepted that tho some companies on NASDAQ are notable--even famous--, most of them are not. As for the references, ref 1 is a directory listing; ref.2 is straight PR from PR newswire; ref. 3 is a straight PR copied from PR newswire as it says right at the top, ref. 4 is a listing ; ref 5 is the directory entry in Bloomberg, including a listing of the firm's press releases.

- Delete per DGG and general lack of reliable sources. Nik the stunned 16:59, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
- Delete as I also can't find any sources about the company besides listings, PR and basic information. Optimale Gu 11:11, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - agree with nom that it fails wp:corpdepth. There isn't even a single clear secondary reference, let alone the more-than-one needed to satisfy corpdepth. BakerStMD T| C 19:11, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- Delete although there's many stock markets, NASDAQ is a major one so the argument has merit, and an article would be useful for readers. Saying that, ultimately there's no automatic notability and NASDAQ is not NYSE so we must rely on sourcing which falls short here. (Little weight should be given to dismissing new editors or the promo editing by User:Karlhard.) Widefox; talk 18:39, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
