This was tagged for speedy deletion, which was contested, but no reasoning behind the contestation was provided. However, I think it best to take to AFD. Do we really need an article about a division of BAE? Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 02:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC) reply
Keep it is hard to see how a division with a £4.6 billion and 33,000 employees is not notable. BAE Systems is a featured article, and it is difficult to see how the vast potential for the nominated article could be incorporated into the main article without it suffering from undue weight. It is clear that to cover huge multinationals, such as BAE, the information must be split up into smaller chunks, through their own article, which can cover the smaller specifics of the corporation. Choosing a division is uncontroversial and logical segment to create as a subarticle, particularly when this division both has an industrial and geographic limitation. If other people are concerned about the prose quality of the article, be bold and improve it; bad quality of prose has never been a deletion criteria. I totally agree that the number of buzz words could be reduced, but if the company choses to call its dry dock division "support solutions", then at least mentioning this term has to be permitted. Overall, the article is factual and neutral, and in no way resembles an advertisement. Arsenikk (talk) 21:16, 12 February 2010 (UTC) reply
