Deletion of List of tear gas manufacturers

Comment: What does this have to do with point 1 of . As for point 5 - there are plenty of notable companies that produce tear gas, in fact most of the companies that produce tear gas seem to be notable. There is more then enough in published books (mostly books) to preclude deletion through AfD. There is TransTechnology, which has been covered in many books; Condor, who has been the subject of numerous articles in mainstream publications, including WSJ; Combined Systems, Inc - one of the companies mentioned in the article - has been discussed in published books; Federal Laboratories .... None of the reasons given above have even a remote connection to our policies on deletion. "Tear gas is not a difficult chemical?" "Non-complete subjective list?" What could possibly be subjective about whether a company produces tear gas - they either do, or they don't. I don't see a single policy reason that would justify deleting this article
