Contested PROD. Articles of this vintage deserve discussion in my view. I agree with the PROD reason: "No evidence it meets N:ORG. Redirect to Remington Arms isn't helpful to the reader as it isn't mentioned, and a mention wouldn't be DUE" given by Star Mississippi but not that mechanism. I obviously invite them to comment here should they wish. I have copied and pasted the PROD here. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:09, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• PRODder comment/delete (since I'm not sure how best to format this input given the conversion of my PROD): thanks Timtrent for saving me the step of the nomination. No issue with your contesting the PROD either, of course. My research found lots of forums discussing TAPCO's parts and what had happened to the company, but nothing even approaching N:ORG as it was a small company that appeared to deal mostly in B2B sales. It was active recently enough that coverage in trade publications should be accessible online, but a BEFORE found none. Should the relaunch come to fruition, an article could be created. I don't think draft space is viable as it hasn't launched and is therefore likely more than six months from notability. Star Mississippi 17:56, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I cannot locate any sources that meet GNG/NCORP criteria for establishing notability. Hardly any sources even mention the company. HighKing⁺⁺ 16:13, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
