Unclear that this is a notable company. After removing some bad refs, the remaining ones are few and largely company sites or in Japanese.

Keyence Japan is consistently listed in the Nihon Keizai Shimbun's yearly ranking of the "Top Ten Most Excellent Companies in Japan.", but not to say as much and just say it's "unclear" if such a claim could be made is unhelpful. Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 12:37, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
There are currently 150 Japanese companies in the Category:Electronics companies of Japan. Instead of the drastic step of proposing for deletion, which for a global company of this size can affect the company's reputation, possible stock value, and generate news stories about Wikipedia, I suggest it should have first been tagged per WP:ATD-T with an additional citations needed message template at the top to invite remedial editing per WP:DEL-CONTENT. I will assume WP:GOODFAITH on the part of the nominator as to the motive for this deletion proposal, but given the above notability evidence and suggestion for a new template, I respectfully would like to see the nomination withdrawn per WP:WITHDRAWN or speedy keep per WP:SPEEDYKEEP. Disclosure: I have no connection directly or indirectly to this company. Thanks, this is my opinion on this. No one has to agree with it. 5Q5| ✉ 15:35, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
