I see some coverage in Chinese-language sources: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. This is what I found with a quick search; a more thorough search for the Chinese name "天赐材料" might find more. — Mx. Granger ( talk · contribs) 09:39, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply
Delete - This article does not speak for itself and does not refer to third-party significant coverage of the company. It presents what the company says about itself, which does not establish corporate notability. Robert McClenon ( talk) 00:12, 20 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  This search page lists a large number of analyst reports about Tinci Materials.
  From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations (my bolding):
  There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports.

  The article notes from Google Translate: "Southwest Securities released a research report on September 2, saying that it gave Tianci Materials (002709.SZ, latest price: 47.14 yuan) a buy rating. The reasons for the rating mainly include: 1) The high gross profit level of electrolytes continues; 2) The expansion of iron phosphate production has accelerated, and sales have increased significantly; 3) The prices of daily chemical materials and special chemical raw materials have risen, and the gross profit margin has been under pressure. Risk warning: The production capacity is less than expected, the downstream demand is less than expected, the industry overcapacity leads to intensified market competition, and policy risks."

  The article notes from Google Translate: "Since then, the performance of Tinci Materials has continued to grow rapidly, but the stock price has been stagnant. ... However, the market value was cut in half in half a year, and it fell to a market value of 100 billion. What is the reason? The growth of Tianci Materials is inseparable from the rise of the "Ning Wang" Ningde era. Last year's annual report showed that about 5.6 billion yuan in sales revenue of Tinci Materials came from CATL, accounting for half of the annual revenue. In 2020, the sales volume of Tinci Materials' largest customer is only over 1 billion yuan, and its revenue accounts for 25.56%. Therefore, every move in the Ningde era also affects the heaven-sent materials that are deeply bound to it. In the first quarter of this year, the performance of CATL declined."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Tinci Materials ( simplified Chinese: 天赐材料; traditional Chinese: 天賜材料) to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

Weak keep. I do not think that we should keep articles on the basis of analyst reports, as these reports serve only to communicate financial projections and price an equity and do not generally demonstrate social importance of the subject; Cunard is completely wrong about this. However, the company is WP:LISTED and seems to have reliable sources that talk about it; I also prefer to err on the side of caution when considering foreign companies for which sourcing is harder and Wikipedia page creation for SEO is less likely. The article is weak though, and it needs to concentrate on more than just the financial history of the company. FalconK ( talk) 22:52, 9 October 2022 (UTC) reply
