Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MARAIS
Generally speaking, the key to meeting en.wikipedia's notability rules is whether the subject has been ''substantially'' discussed by ''independent'' sources. Anything written by Marais is of little use. Similarly, a passing mention in an article about somebody else using a Marais product proves nothing. What you need is more stuff like http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/automated-trenching-innovation-seen-as-aligned-to-big-fibre-push-2007-07-27 this and http://www.francebtp.com/carrieres/article/2011/01/26/54035/la-location-tire-activite-marais.php this and http://www.inpi.fr/fileadmin/mediatheque/pdf/DP_trophees_PaysdelaLoire.pdf?PHPSESSID=743bc971ad7dcf22a81114c228064e91 this - I think that there are enough sources like that to show Marais is notable, but only just. As far as I can tell, articles like http://www.bursahakimiyet.com.tr/haberDetay.aspx?hid=22962 this and http://guataca.es/obras-en-el-anillo-de-telecomunicaciones-de-tenerife/ this aren't really about Marais, per se - they might be useful to |verify individual statements in an article but not to establish |notability. Similarly, http://www.dbcde.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/113443/Marais-Lucas_Technology.pdf this might be hosted on an Australian government website, but it seems to have been written by Marais
