Delete. Whilst their
Big Blue Bug is notable and adequately referenced, the company is not. Google News articles discuss the big bug ontop of their roof rather than the actual business below. Redirect
Tony DeJesus having a spot on an AM talk show is also not notable. --

Comment. Have you looked at the page after the recent revisions, adding citations to national and local media coverage of the company and the individual employees? The three delete votes were made prior to the addition of those citations.

Keep. The company as an individual entity is extremely well-known and notable (at least in Rhode Island and southeastern New England).

Response. Apologies. What I should have said is, both local and national media have covered the company as a business separate from its mascot, indicating the company is individually notable.

Comment. Looking for them now, I am unable to find anything but trivial mentions, advertisements, and discussion of the bug (only looked through the first ~40 ghits). All you (or anyone) has to do to make sure this article is kept is actually provide information on that media coverage. We could always turn this page into a redirect (and preserve the history) to
Big Blue Bug as an indefinite solution until sources are provided.

Response. I've added to the article several citations to media coverage of the company as a company, as well as an article profiling Tony DeJeusus specifically. That article doesn't mention the mascot expect to say that DeJesus joined the company before the mascot was created.

Keep now that we have refs that (claim to...would be useful to have some that are available on-line) support notability, so it's notable per
WP:CORP. Strongly disagree with Yechiel: "company X that does Y is not notable and we have few/no other pages for companies that do Y, therefore company Z that does Y is not notable" is not sensible...the issue is the company Z itself not a page or category for task Y.
