I can't find anything which shows that this company is notable in the press or elsewhere. UaMaol (talk) 14:26, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I haven't managed to find multiple reliable sources referencing this company - the only mentions in websites that I've been able to find are almost all primary, e.g. the company's website.--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 15:01, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Nope, Keep. It appears that I was wrong - there are in fact good sources out there that I somehow never found before, and the company is notable. Thanks for finding those, everyone!--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 18:21, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Subject is a multi-national conglomerate and has 25k hits on Google News search using the company's Japanese name [1]. _dk (talk) 17:03, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I have added a couple of references, one an article in The Economist. See also the coverage of the firm's history and operating scope in "Top Global Companies in Japan", pages 99-105. (A Google Translate of the Japanese Wikipedia page shows much more information. I'd like to see some attention from a Japanese-speaker before offering a final opinion, but a listed company with an 18 storey headquarters building seems likely to be notable.)

• Keep. The book Rediscovering Japanese Business Leadership has a lengthy chapter on SECOM. The publisher (Wiley) is considered notable and reliable publishing many technical books and they at least must have thought this notable enough to have it translated into English from the original Japanese. The information in that one source alone could enormously expand the article. SpinningSpark 22:45, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Inclined to keep––companies in the TOPIX Large 70 are almost certainly notable, and 99 out of 100 of the companies in the TOPIX 100 have articles on the English Wikipedia. Dekimasuよ! 16:51, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Notable comapny with international operations. Sourced, and that's just looking at sources in English. /Julle (talk) 10:55, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
