A non-notable company that fails to cite almost any reliable sources to back up its claim to notability. Me-123567-Me (talk) 01:29, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I found several sources, which I put on the talk page. I think they may be enough for notability. Adam9007 (talk) 01:35, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

leaning Delete - I had a look, but everything I could find was passing mentions and corporate ownership deals - David Gerard (talk) 19:15, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as the listed links were all simply PR and republished, talking about what the company only wants to mention about itself, not what actually matters, and the best part that came close was simply about the potential $1 billion sale, but it never actually happened therefore there's nothing else to say. Once we become a PR webhost for all advertising matters, this place is damned and troubled severely. SwisterTwister talk 01:51, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Notability under WP:CORP may certainly be possible here, as it's by far the dominant product on the vitamins rack in every single drug store I've ever actually set foot in — but the nominator is correct that in this form, the article is minimally sourced and skews decidedly advertorial in the substance. Adam9007's new sources on the talk page aren't helping all that much, either — half of them are corporate press releases, which are primary sources rather than reliable ones, and the ones that are good sources are covering it entirely in the context of a purchase deal that fell through. And even in a deep ProQuest search, I'm finding a lot of glancing namechecks of its existence in coverage of other things (such as its former CEO donating $750 to the mayoral campaign of Drew Dilkens, which who cares, or his new role as head of a medical marijuana company, which WP:NOTINHERITED), and very little substantive coverage about much of anything else besides the cancelled takeover. And while the takeover deal would be entirely worthy of note in a substantial and well-rounded article, it just makes this the corporate equivalent of a WP:BLP1E if it's the only thing we can actually substance or source about the company. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this, but this as currently written and sourced is not enough. Bearcat (talk) 16:35, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- this is a case of a company that could be notable, but review of the available sources proves otherwise. Not other reason for the article to exist to serve as a WP:PROMO, which Wikipedia is not. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:00, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
