Fails WP:NCORP as written due to lack of substantive sources, and I was not able to find anything additional. Being an old company is not a claim to notability by itself. shoy (reactions) 21:33, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The notability arises from the invention of the electronic window fan and not the age of the company. [1]Paste Let’s have a chat. 22:43, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The Vent-Axia#History section is lacking in detail. This OUP book could help enhance the history during the 1990s if some details about the prior history (APV?) and subsequent history ([1], [2]) can be found and blended. AllyD (talk) 11:13, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep coverage is significant enough, and it's a well known brand. Peter James (talk) 17:30, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV. See the following peer reviewed sources:

Keep per 4meter4. The firm also appears in the OUP book A Long Time in Making(edit: which I realise AllyD already mentioned above), a history of Smiths Group, which bought Vent-Axia in 1992; the book also refers to it as then being "the leading commercial fan manufacturer". If not keep, then Merge into Smiths Group. YorkshireLad (talk) 00:39, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Striking previous Delete !vote. I do not have access to the references posted by 4meter but given that they are described as peer-reviewed sources and that they contain in-depth information on the company, plus the book reference posted by AllyD previously, there is a high probability that multiple references exist that meet the criteria for establishing notability.

Comment Do these sources provide WP:ORGDEPTH? If they don't, a merge might be more appropriate. --MarioGom (talk) 12:18, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
