I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Rich Farmbrough with the following rationale "No problem, this is a notable company.". Sadly, Rich hasn't added any new source to justify his claim. All I see in Google Books and such are passing mentions, and few business-as-usual press-releases style notes on acquisitions or such. This sub-stub is still unreferenced and fails to prove its notability, aside of Rich's assertions. We need sources, I am afraid.

- Keep: I have added several references to the article. See also the detailed company history in a book chapter on "Crosfield, Olivetti, EMI et les autres" of which pages 226-7 are visible in Google Books. Overall, I think there is sufficient substantial, independent coverage to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. AllyD (talk) 08:12, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- Withdrawing. [1] seems reliable (if niche) and in-depth. This seems sufficient to address notability concerns. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:02, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Note: The de-prod was here with a completely different edit summary. There is an accompanying section on the talk page, which supports notability. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:18, 12 September 2018 (UTC).
