I am seeing a valid ''potential'' claim of notability here ("The company had become an international business, having branches in Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand."), although I agree that the article as written isn't ''properly'' demonstrating or sourcing it yet. However, on a ProQuest search of ''The Globe and Mail'', I'm getting 445 hits — and while ''some'' of them are just daily stock quote listings, there are also plenty of genuinely substantive news articles ''about'' the company too. And I haven't even ''tried'' the ''Toronto Star'' or the ''Ottawa Journal'' (the other two newspapers in which I have the ability to dig back past 1981) yet. It's a key principle of , however, that even if the sourcing ''in'' the article is inadequate we can still keep it, and merely flag it for reference and content improvement, as long as a -passing volume of sourcing can be shown to ''exist
