We are not a dictionary of businesses. The article does not suggest that the company is notable - as far as I can see it, it fails WP:CORP. On a relevant note, The creator works in that company, disclosed at User talk:InkieMS#My background. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 23:16, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate that this is not a dictionary of businesses. I understand that the original article was not verifiable. There has been some changes to that, partly by myself. My hope is that it will be possible to improve the article enough for it to bring relevant knowledge to the readers. InkieMS (talk) 07:07, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The issue here is that the article does not seem to satisfy the Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) requirement. Feel free to expand and improve the article so that it does. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:24, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It would help if we could be shown some sources that are not reprints or close paraphrases of press releases. I accept that the Dagbladet source doesn't match that description, but it is only a news report of an incident that would have been very important to the workers involved, but doesn't amount to significant coverage of Expancel.
