Linear Corporation

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I am unable to find significant reliable source coverage to establish notability. I have found a few minor pieces with passing mentions in industry specific websites, but not much else to establish notability. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:04, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment That's interesting. This company is 50 years old and products you own likely includes technology created by this company. The fact that you can't find anything on it "online" means little. Jcline0 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:25, 14 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]

*Comment In that case, perhaps you can provide some citations to some reliable sources to establish notability? ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 21:38, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment Perhaps there's some confusion here relating to the legal entity. The URL is linearcorp.com and it is referred to as "Linear LLC", maybe due to subsidiary status. This company is different than "Linear Technology" and "MaxLinear". Jcline0 (talk)

Book source 1 on Google Books, book source 2, keep. Andrevan@ 06:46, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The first book you have listed does not show any reference to Linear Corporation in the link you provided. The second appears to only have a passing reference to it. Google Books does turn up dozens of listings for similar names of, "Linear Technology Corporation" and "Micro Linear Corporation." Are these the same organization? Or just similarly named?

Comment It appears to me the two additional corporations which google books turns up a lot of links for are actually different companies. One of them already has a Wikipedia article: Linear_Technology and the other does not [1]. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:57, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I believe the 2nd reference is a reference to this article's subject. Jcline0 (talk)
