No third-party WP:RS available. Seems to fail WP:CORP. Failed PROD when 1 of 2 WP:SPA editors who have contributed to this article objected. Those SPAs have a likely COI. Toddst1 (talk) 19:52, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:There is were two reliable sources that I added but were deleted by someone else. The two sources are the journal Science and epigenie.com. I will work on putting epigenie back up. I would appreciate some suggestions on how to make it not seem to look like an advertisment, because I really am just putting it up to show credibility of the company (to meet wikipedias guidelines) and not advertisment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.7.73.26 (talk) 17:03, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, those were links to a "Special Advertising Feature". Please see Wp:RS Toddst1 (talk) 17:55, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What about this one: http://www.epigenie.com/Zymo_Gold.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.7.73.26 (talk) 21:01, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is a good start. We should probably move this discussion about sources to talk:Zymo Research Corporation. Toddst1 (talk) 21:13, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for writing that post from that article, I did not read the beginning about it being an advertisement. I just was trying to help out, I will be more careful next time. I think I am going to make an account so I dont use my IP address as well. 71.177.77.82 (talk) 06:56, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete - fails WP:CORP, no reliable sources to establish notability. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 04:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is difficult to find many sources that talk about Zymo Research due to Zymo being a smaller company. Zymo's products are notible as you can see: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=zymo+research&as_sdt=2000&as_ylo=&as_vis=0

There will be a strong source that will be used to show the company is notible once Frost & Sullivan release this years Innovation of the Year Award in Epigenetics, since Zymo Research beat out many large companies. Unfortunately, I do not have a timeline on when the press release will be available.

WP:CORP states:

"Large organizations are likely to have more readily available verifiable information from reliable sources that provide evidence of notability; however, smaller organizations can be notable, just as individuals can be notable, and arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations."

I think the academic papers give the company notability (almost 8,000 hits on just google scholar) for being a small organization. 74.7.73.26 (talk) 18:25, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
