Criterion for membership in this category

What are the critereon for membership in this list?

Is it where the corporate domocile is?

In Emerson's case, that is New Jersey, but it appears that Emerson is actually majority-owned by a holding company based overseas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Watchpup (talkcontribs) 08:43, 17 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Against the effort to delete long-standing but "non-notable" small American manufacturer entries from Wikipedia

edit

In the past month (Aug 2015), the entry for The David Berning Company, one of the oldest American audio equipment manufacturers, has been completely eradicated from wikipedia, a victim of "speedy deletion", without warning or discussion. The Milbert Amplifiers entry survived an earlier attempted deletion in 2006, and the latest attempted deletion (Aug 2015) corresponds with an attempt to also remove the entry for Conrad-Johnson, another decades-old American audio manufacturing company. One was unlucky. Two was coincidence. Three is pattern. Has anyone else been targeted? -- Michael Milbert -- mike@milbert.com -- TubeGod (talk) 08:06, 26 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
