Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Biocom (2nd nomination)
per DGG and Smallbones both: local trade organizations that are featured in local trade publications and other local sources are not typically accepted as reliable sources for the purpose of notability on the English Wikipedia, because the trade pubs will print virtually anything that they are told to print, making them failing in both independence and editorial oversight that we typically expect from our secondary sources. Regular local journalism is slightly better, but they do tend to be less stringent on the publication of information from local groups than we prefer for organizations. The sources that do not fall into this category also seem to be typical PR churn, which would be excluded from counting towards notability by .{{pb}}With those consideration, this does not pass the general guideline in . As Smallbones also points out, it is impossible to be notable, even if there were sources, if the article does not pass OT. The notability guideline is abundantly clear on this: to be included a subject must pass either the general guideline or a subject guideline '''and''' not be excluded by the policy of OT. Failing both the general guideline and NOT as either promotion or a directory entry makes this a clear delete
