The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. I will restore this to user space if anyone wants to use the material to write an article on Wittern Group, but there is a fairly clear consensus not to have an article on U-Select-It. Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:05, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I see an article on a U-Select-It product from Coan Manufacturing in a 1947 Billboard magazine: [1]. A walking tour claims they are the same company. Being "the world’s second largest vending machine company" and being in existence over 75 years would be a plausible claim of notability, but I have found no reliable secondary references. Vending Times is the trade press but may have something. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:46, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Rename (aka keep, move, and re-structure) to Wittern Group. [2] is a bit fluff, but it's substantial coverage in a national outlet. power~enwiki (π, ν) 16:26, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep and move to its parent company, Wittern Group. several minor articles in the news provide coverage of the basics of their claims of being a large and long-time vending machine vendor and some decent industry news exists as well. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 04:24, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and rename / rework to Wittern Group. The parent company os notable. I would do the changes needed but such moved during AfDs are frowned upon. FloridaArmy (talk) 03:30, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect - this is borderline promotional. Deb (talk) 12:42, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: a promotional directory listing with no sources. We should expect better. In any case, the subject does not WP:NCORP / WP:CORPDEPTH. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:53, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I see zero references, even after three weeks of discussion. Fails WP:NCORP in spades. -- RoySmith (talk) 03:57, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails WP:NCORP. More importantly, several weeks of digging, relisting, etc. have failed to find enough to go by (reliable independent sources with in-depth coverage) to write a meaningful article, so fails WP:GNG. Martinp (talk) 17:40, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
