Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: WP:VAGUEWAVES or WP:JUSTNOTNOTABLE are not convincing reasons.

Keep The subject passes with general notability tag. It has significant notability for being the first fully owned and wholly managed cement company by Ghanaians. The article must be improved rather than taken off. Ampimd (talk) 08:50, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Being the first fully owned company isn't a notabilty criteria. It is a brochure article and advertisement. scope_creep^Talk 09:36, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Unfortunately it isnt a brochure article and advertisement. The company started its construction in 2011, however full commercial production started in 2021. The notability of the company with regards to the general notability criteria is clear. I believe it meets at least the WP:GNG It is gained more coverage due to it being a fully Ghanaian owned company and because it is owned by one of the richest businessmen in Ghana who is the brother of the former president John Dramani Mahama. The subject as in the product gains more prominence due to all these. I dont think its irrelevant to note that its the first fully Ghanaian owned company. That can not be ignored. That alone shows its significance which also falls under the Manufacturing in Ghana articles and cement manufacturing in Ghana. The article must be improved not taken off as I mentioned earlier.

Delete WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria. They are either standard business listings or short articles based on an "announcement" by the company - all of the articles I can find are within the company's echo chamber and I have been unable to find any "Independent Content" as per ORGIND. Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:26, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - if it fails the required notability test. GoodDay (talk) 15:57, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per nom. Being the first of any company by any country is not, in itself, notable. If it's an interesting enough combination, it would attract reliable sources and thus make it eligible for WP:GNG - but this is not the case here. Ifnord (talk) 18:02, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
