Deletion of Dazey Corporation

Comment: The sourcing available is tenuous at best, and I wasn't able to find much more in a search of Google and the news archives. Most of this can be classified as , and I'm not entirely convinced that we can show significant coverage in reliable secondary sources yet. But http://books.google.ae/books?id=xTN7snmDrJAC&pg=PA166&lpg=PA166&dq=Dazey+Products+Company&source=bl&ots=bTGDhAua5Q&sig=mwGwNvDgp-cycWDFrI4Ldf51VmM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=LMN0UKrOM-SUiALK-IGgDQ&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Dazey%20Products%20Company&f=false this book, combined with the weak coverage elsewhere, seems to show at least an element of notability under . I think it warrants a short article, although the wiser course in the long run may be a move to '''Seal-a-Meal''' as suggested above

Comment: The nominator and some !=voters here have called for deletion in part because the company is out of business. That is not a valid delete reason, since |notability is not temporary. There is significant coverage the company or brand and its products in  http://books.google.com/books?id=xTN7snmDrJAC&pg=PA166&lpg=PA166&dq=dazey&source=bl&ots=bTGDgBpdbS&sig=fIiOrC7I9SyjU3acEImD1qTBiTE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=f1FzUIy4E-nVyQHi5ICwCQ&ved=0CEkQ6AEwAzgK#v=onepage&q=dazey&f=false handbooks of kitchen collectables.  This company and brand started in the 19th century as the  "Dazey Churn" company circa 1907-1922 which made http://reviews.ebay.com/DAZEY-BUTTER-CHURN-A-GUIDE-TO-FINDING-THE-ORIGINAL?ugid=10000000004565065 little butter churns which are http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=gd0rAAAAIBAJ&sjid=VGQFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2939,1376712&dq=dazey&hl=en sought by collectors of antiques. They were http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=1ugyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ugcGAAAAIBAJ&pg=6857,5113156&dq=dazey&hl=en "the best known manufacturer of glass churns."  The columns cited indicate a continued company existence from the Dazey Churn company to the ubiquitous Dazey brand of fryers, slicers, hairdryers,  Seal-A-Meals, and many other small appliances, until they were bought by their  rival (Rival). The handbook of kitchen collectables notes the owners of the brand in its later years, but I do not see that as a barrier to having an article.

Different people or groups owning a company or well-known brand is not a valid delete reason. The Dazey company  was in the news for http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=7csiAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JikEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2392,5616215&dq=dazey&hl=en defective products in 1976, and for http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=GPBBAAAAIBAJ&sjid=QaoMAAAAIBAJ&pg=4068,3783315&dq=dazey&hl=en a different defective product in 1977. Their products were widely advertized and sold in the US in the 1980's and 1990s, such as the potato peeler featured in a gift guide in 1995:http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=BN&p_theme=bn&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EAF98F2DAAFE965&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM. Dazey's http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=0UwLAAAAIBAJ&sjid=11IDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5049,4217055&dq=dazey&hl=en acquisition by Rival was covered in the news in 2002
