Article about a company that seems to fail WP:CORP; it has been created twice by an SPA, with the previous one deleted because of copyvio issues. I believe the purpose of this is purely promotional, since I cannot establish that the company is actually notable in any way, regardless of the attempt to claim notability for the founder. If sources are not found and the article is deleted, the title should probably also be salted. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 15:57, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[Keep] I believe Apogee Instruments is notable because innumerable scientific research studies have been conducted using Apogee Instruments research grade scientific products. Researchers always name the the type and model of instruments they use when making measurements in their results to establish the level of accuracy of the results, as well as enabling other researchers to reproduce the results.

Myniceguy: I've taken the liberty of adding "keep" in front of your comment, which is obviously your intention, after the conventional style here. הסרפד (Hasirpad) [formerly Ratz...bo] 01:48, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have to admit I didn't think to search in that context. I will let other editors more familiar with the subject matter to chime in. Not sure if that in and of itself can establish notability. If that is the case then I will gladly withdraw the AFD. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 23:57, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and this is yet another example of how much WP has become a spam magnet and it is another increment towards WP becoming a business directory. We need to write a prescriptive notability guideline for companies. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:32, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Myniceguy is the creator of this unnotable company and so its not a surprise that he would vote to keep this article. --Artene50 (talk) 08:56, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
