Deletion of Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc.

Comment: Assuming the primary problem is that the article lacks 3rd-party references, is that normally grounds for deletion? I mean, if it can be made better and satisfy the requirements for keeping it, why delete what has already been started? (I realize there are other concerns about  as well, this is just a general clarifying question

Comment: Mundane topics like roofing supply companies often don't attract much media hype but notability can be sussed from a broad base of sources. Several third party sources identify metrics which I wouldn't consider "trivial" or "incidental" as per |the notability guidline on corporations and could even be considered inherently notable, such as http://finance.yahoo.com/news/beacon-roofing-acquire-mcclure-johnston-130251881.html;_ylt=A0LEVxM23VhU2OwAbvBXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEzY2RxajU3BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNgRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkA1ZJUDUzMl8x almost $100 in annual sales, http://www.prosalesmagazine.com/news/distributors/beacon-roofing-supply-opens-location-no-200_o opening over 200 stores, recording almost $2 billion in total sales and being a large, publicly traded company. Regardless, the article needs work and it leans far too heavily on press releases and self published primary sources

Comment: Every ref in the article is a database entry or, more or less, a press release. The closest thing I've found to a  compatible article is http://online.barrons.com/articles/SB52784017629588234037504580170502824412316, which has a few paragraphs of material that attempt depth. But I was unable to find anything in the article itself or this discussion so far that matched it, and the total there is not sufficient. GraniteSand's sources are warmed-over press releases. That the company is NASDAQ-listed does not in my experience demonstrate the existence of good coverage.  Still, with a $1B+ market cap, I would guess that coverage may still exist, yet to be found, perhaps in specialized industry periodicals. The topic ''may'' be able to show notability if a sufficiently informed editor has access to appropriate sources and builds an article from them. This is |not that article, and today, so far, is not that day

Comment: As written, fails Wikipedia:Notability (companies). PS. Regarding the fact that the company is listed at NASDAQ, per , it's not enough. Please find proper, reliable sources, add them to the article, and  me to review them and reconsider my vote once this happens
