  • Redirect to Rintatolimod - All of the coverage of this company is either WP:ROUTINE, or relates to what appears to be its sole product, the drug Ampligen® (generic name Rintatolimod). The company's role with their drug is already sufficiently documented on that page, and I don't see any coverage that would suggest the company is notable outside of their role with the drug, so I would suggest an analogy to WP:ONEEVENT applies. It is likely anyone who searches for the company's name is interested, one way or another, in the information presented on the drug's page, so a redirect seems the best way to go.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

      This is a 26-page analyst report about the company.

      The report says:

      The report has a business overview section with these subsections:
      1. Product Offerings
      2. Company Premiums
        1. Alferon N Injection®
        2. Ampligen®
        3. Alferon® LDO (Low Dose Oral)
      3. Company Risks
      4. Corporate Strategy
      5. Shareholding Pattern
      6. Listing and Contact Details
      Here is the company overview: The analyst report lists five categories of company risks and provides a paragraph of discussion for each: (1) Unsuccessful Product Development, (2) Uncertainty related to regulatory approval, (3) Cash Flow Uncertainty, (4) Inadequate financial resources/Delay in Commercialization, (5) Reduction in the Incidence of Ebola Cases.

      This is another analyst report from Arrowhead Business and Investment Decisions.

    4. This articleWebCite from the company notes: This is an analyst report from Griffin Securities about Hemisphere Biopharma.
    5. This forum postWebCite from boursorama.com provides information from a Maxim Group analyst report written by analyst Yale Jen and published in April 2011.
    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Hemisphere Biopharma to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • There is enough coverage about Hemispherx Biopharma's history, products (Alferon N Injection®, Ampligen®, and Alferon®), premiums, and risks to justify a separate article from Rintatolimod (Ampligen), one of its products.
