This looks more like a company's website than an encyclopedia article. The current sources are mostly press releases and I have not been able to find significant coverage in reliable sources. GB fan 15:29, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. The first reference is an indication of significance but is no more than an entry in a list. There's some coverage under its former name, but I'm not sure if these are press releases:Distribution Center, April 5, 2012; Contracting Business, January 1, 2006; Supply House Times, December 1, 2005; Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration News, September 27, 2004. There appears to be some notability but not enough for an article unless the company's website is used as the main source, and unless more coverage is found this doesn't appear to meet the WP:CORP criteria.

  • Delete as well. As mentioned by Peter above, there seems to be some coverage but it's hard to tell if it's enough and some of those Highbeam previews are too short. My searches were even a little less fruitful. Despite searching multiple times at Google News using the former names, founders, "Fontana California company", etc., I have only found one article (from this year) here which is also brief and talks more about their new location. I found another digitaljournal.com link from 2010 about a new location but it was PR. As mentioned, it seems this company has gotten attention and has history but there is too much PR to build a good and well-referenced article. I even searched a local newspaper, Fontana Herald News for any last coverage and a San Bernardino newspaper San Bernardino Sun but found nothing. My final search was for the 2010 launch of an online directory but, again, found nothing. No prejudice towards a future article or userfying. SwisterTwister talk 21:15, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
