At this point, something of a WP:CORP1E situation, since the only apparent notability of this division is that IBM eventually sold it off as no longer profitable. There is probably somewhere where the one or two sentences of substance in this could be merged, but I see no reason for the article as it stands. Mangoe (talk) 23:33, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawing based upon improved article. Mangoe (talk) 04:56, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep/merge, meh, it's a stub, there is enough to keep it but a merge with History of IBM would be ok. per WP:HEY SailingInABathTub ~~🛁~~ 23:53, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I have given it a six-fold expansion, adding many sources in the process which cover the division and its constituent plants in depth. DigitalIceAge (talk) 20:43, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Thanks to DigitalIceAge for a rewrite. Well done!. Pavlor (talk) 10:12, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:HEY, thanks to DigitalIceAge indeed! @Mangoe: if you do agree with this, this could become a procedural close. Thanks. PhotographyEdits (talk) 12:31, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
