Keep - teh article's language could definitely use some weasel word cleansing and the awards may well be unimportant and perhaps should be removed from the article. However, AfD is not for cleanup and the company is notable as a new search shows - there are a few trivial/routine stories in the mix, but plenty of good ones too. --ThaddeusB (talk) 14:59, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are enough claims of importance outside of any awards. Although referencing here is mostly to press releases and its own website, I can see there are plenty of other available references in newspapers like the Calgary Sun and Calgary Herald.

comment as far as I can tell by he references, essentially every one of the awards is local to the Calgary region. the article says "The majority of Qualex-Landmark projects have been designed by architect, Foad Rafii, described by The Vancouver Sun as one of the 10 architects who have shaped Vancouver today" So he did, but he's notable for his other work, as the article on him makes clear, and primarily in Vancouver, as even the sentence in the article makes clear. Looking at the Google Rreferences, most of them mention him in the context of a general discussion (as this or are pure press releases , such as this, which is closer to an advertisement than a press release .
