I have conducted WP:BEFORE search and I am not finding independent coverage beyond La Crosse Tribune local paper, and repeated mentions of "La Crosse Technology's Atomic Digital Alarm Clock with a retail value of $29.95!" in Popular Science magazine.

Weak keep Local newspapers are still good sources. I added a couple more cites from the La Crosse Tribune, but yeah good cites are scarce, and I wouldn't complain if this ends up not being enough.--~ฅ(ↀωↀ=)neko-chan^nyan 16:13, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Neko-chan:, WP:NCORP places emphasis on source quality due to susceptibility of companies/organizations article to public relations editing. WP:AUD specifically calls that at least one of the sources providing significant coverage must be regional or national, so based on these guidelines, I find the company unable to satisfy notability.

Delete Per WP:AUD purely local mentions do not contribute towards notability. Lacking significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources. AusLondonder (talk) 18:13, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
