Hashtag which lasted less than 24 hours. All coverage is from Oct 9 and Oct 10, so WP:NOTNEWS. The hashtag didn't appear in multiple iterations because there's a conspiracy to promote the hashtag in the contexts of Kaine, Obama, Kavanaugh etc., but because it's a very simple English phrase. I would like to see an article about pro- and anti-Kavanaugh rallies, though.

The article notes:
The article lists the six founding partners as:The former chief executives of Crown Zellerbach, Alumax, NL Industries and Thomson Consumer Electronics who all lost their jobs or resigned following takeovers - are now planning a series of acquisitions themselves.
The four, together with two former big-league investment bankers, have formed a San Francisco partnership that will buy and run U.S. manufacturing companies.
American Industrial Partners, which so far has been operating on its members' personal funds, in the next few weeks will begin raising $100 million to $250 million in equity from outside investors.
...
The partners aim to buy mid-size manufacturing and industrial service and distribution companies at prices ranging from $50 million to $300 million. They're looking for private companies and divisions of public companies that have high market shares and special product, production and/or distribution niches, but that may be undercapitalized or have under-used assets.
The article notes:
But back-to-basics dealmaking has helped American Industrial quietly assemble an impressive portfolio of manufacturers. The firm, which includes former CEOs of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., Mead Corp. and Stanley Works, has spent about half of its $217 million buyout fund to acquire five companies with more than 4,000 employees and $500 million in revenues.
Now, the partnership is poised to more than double its industrial assets by buying Sweetheart Holdings Inc., the corporate descendant of Maryland Cup Corp. Sweetheart, which generates an estimated $900 million in revenues, has 8,000 employees, including 2,500 at a factory in Owings Mills.
...
American Industrial, a privately held limited partnership with offices in San Francisco and New York, does not release financial data. But interviews with company officials and industry observers confirm the view of a conservatively run group that seeks to revive companies by cutting debt and improving operations at companies such as Easco Aluminum Corp.
...
American Industrial's money comes from 11 investors, including five former CEOs. The partnership was formed in 1988 and built a $217 million capital fund that runs until 1998, with two one-year extension options.
Besides Mr. Rogers, partners include Richard Bingham, a former managing director and head of the merger and acquisition division at Lehman Brothers, a New York investment firm; Thomas Barrett, who headed Goodyear; Burnell Roberts, the former chief of Mead, a paper company; and Donald W. Davis, former head of Stanley, a tool maker.
The article notes:
American Industrial Partners Capital Fund IV LP set a big task for itself in buying the Decatur operations of Fleetwood Enterprises Inc.
...
New York-based AIP has been in business since 1989. A BusinessWeek profile describes it as a private-equity company that specializes in turning around "leading middle-market" industrial and manufacturing companies.
In 2004, it bought Stolle Machinery, which makes equipment used in the manufacturing of aluminum cans. Alcoa sold Stolle at a time when its stock price was stagnating and it needed to raise cash, Randall said.
Some private-equity groups buy companies, dismantle them and sell the pieces for a quick profit. But AIP instead bought Stolle's major competitor, Sequa Can Machinery Inc., consolidated the companies and grew the enterprise.
The article discusses American Industrial Partners' acquisition of Sweetheart Holdings Inc. The article notes:
Sweetheart Holdings was spun off from Sweetheart Cup Company.The former Maryland Cup, which still employs 2,500 in Owings Mills and is one of the dominant cup makers in the country, was sold in May by Morgan Stanley Group Inc. to American Industrial Partners.
AIP, a limited partnership headed by several former top executives, promised to cut the Chicago-based company's debt and infuse it with capital.
...
Sweetheart, which generates an estimated $900 million in revenues and has 8,000 employees, more than doubles AIP's size.
AIP, which is privately held and run by former CEOs of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., Mead Corp. and Stanley Works, now owns six industrial companies with 12,000 employees and $1.4 billion in revenues.
The company makes about 80 percent of its revenues producing disposable food cups, trays, plates and other items for fast-food restaurants and delicatessens.
The article notes:
Sweetheart Holdings Inc. will be sold for about $441 million to an investment group that will also recapitalize the debt-laden company.
The group, which includes several former corporate chief executives, agreed in May to purchase the Chicago-based maker of paper cups and plates and ice cream cones from the Morgan Stanley Group. ...
...
American Industrial Partners, a private investment group that buys industrial and manufacturing companies, is raising $107 million of equity, and will own 66.3 percent of Sweetheart. ...
The partners in American Industrial are Tom Barrett, former chairman, president and chief executive of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company; Richard Bingham, former managing director and head of corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions at Lehman Brothers; Donald Davis, former chairman, president and chief executive of Stanley Works; Burnell Roberts, former chairman, president and chief executive of the Mead Corporation, and Theodore Rogers, former chairman, president, chief executive and chief operating officer of NL Industries.
The article notes:
Private-equity firm American Industrial Partners achieved a similar miracle. It converted New York-based Great Lakes Carbon, the world's largest producer of calcined petroleum coke used to process aluminum, into a Canadian income trust, raising $133 million and receiving securities convertible into units worth $150 million, or 2.3 times what American Industrial bought Great Lakes Carbon for five years earlier in 1998.
The article notes:
American Industrial Partners executives say it differs from other financial investors "through the deep operating expertise of its partners and executive officer association.' This leadership team is made up of former top officers of Fortune 200 companies including Robert L. Purdum, a former CEO of Armco Steel Corp.; Tom H. Barrett, a former CEO of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.; Burnell R. Roberts, a former CEO of Mead Corp.; Theodore C. Rogers, a former CEO of NL Industries; W. Richard Bingham, a former head of mergers and acquisitions manager at Lehman Brothers, plus retired executives from Oshkosh Truck, Raychem, Tenneco Automotive, Union Pacific and U.S. Steel.
...
With offices in San Francisco and New York, AIP invests in manufacturing and industrial service companies in North America. Typical equity investments range from $10 million to $50 million.
AIP holdings include Bucyrus International Inc., Central Industrial Supply Inc., Consoltex Group Inc., Great Lakes Carbon Corp., MBA Polymers Inc., Sanluis Developments, L.L.C., Stanadyne Corp., Sweetheart Holdings Inc., Wabtec Corp. and Williams Controls.
The article notes:
Theodore C. Rogers, who heads American Industrial Partners, a $200-million investment fund with backing from the Bank of America and Wells Fargo pension funds, among others, is looking to invest in manufacturing and industrial distribution companies.
The fund brings operating expertise as well as cash to investments; Rogers is a former chairman of NL Industries and a longtime manufacturing executive.
...
Rogers expects shortly to invest almost $12 million in two box-making companies in Northern California--names undisclosed because the deal is not signed yet.
The $12 million, which will represent 42% of the two firms' combined equity capital, will go for high-speed packaging and production lines and an ink plant to serve both companies. With the new machinery, American Partners hopes to increase profits from $1.3 million to $3 million within 18 months, and to earn their returns as the businesses grow from there.
The article notes:
Since 1990, Rubatex's parent company, RBX Holdings Inc., has been owned by New York-based AEA Investors, whose partners include Roger Smith, the former chief executive officer of General Motors Corp. AEA has taken a mostly hands-off approach to the firm and relied on hired managers for its knowledge of the rubber industry.
The same probably won't be said about American Industrial Partners, which last week agreed to buy the company in a deal expected to be done in about two months.
Formed in 1989 and based in San Francisco and New York, AIP counts among its many partners Thomas Barrett, a former chairman and chief executive officer of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. And AIP already is in the rubber business - it recently completed an $80 million buyout of Day International Inc., an Ohio-based rubber manufacturer.
The article notes:
But the New York-based private-equity firm American Industrial Partners is betting it can transform so-called water-jet technology into a bigger and faster-growing business. The firm spent $350 million over the past 16 months to buy two of the world’s largest water-jet firms, Flow International Corp. and KMT Waterjet, both U.S. based. It aims to promote one of the technology’s main advantages—it doesn’t create heat—amid growing use of composite materials, including plastics, that can melt when cut with lasers or torches.
...
... says David Savage, chief executive of Waterjet Holdings, which was set up by American Industrial as a holding company for the two firms it bought.
...
Flow, the world’s biggest maker of water-jet equipment, had suffered in recent years from sluggish sales growth and was pressured by activist shareholders to improve returns. Five months after its board put the Kent, Wash.-based company on the block in April 2013, American Industrial emerged as the winning bidder, paying about $200 million, or $4.05 a share. Flow traded at more than $14 a share in mid-2006.
Both Flow and KMT, which was acquired by American Industrial in 2013 for $148 million, suffered from a common ailment of companies run by engineers, says Mr. Marvin
The article notes:
Private equity firm American Industrial Partners will be moving from its current offices at 535 Fifth Avenue for its own tower floor at 330 Madison Avenue.
The firm, which invests in North American industrial businesses, will be taking 9,848 square feet of space on the 28th floor of 330 Madison Avenue. The lease is for 10 years. Asking rent for the space was roughly $90 a square foot.
...
Founded in 1989, AIP had been in a 4,829-square-foot space on the 32nd floor at 535 Madison Avenue as early as 1993, according to CoStar data. The company was rapidly growing, and was attracted to the 535 Madison Avenue’s proximity to Bryant Park and to nearly all major transportation lines, said a person close to the deal.
The article notes:
American Industrial Partners is a private equity firm that invests in manufacturing and industrial service companies. American Industrial has owned Stanadyne since December 1997.

Hello - I hope I'm responding to this in the right place. If I'm not, please let me know the correct place to move this to.
I believe that Kaido does have significant notability. There are three reasons I think this.
1. The guidelines state that the subject should have received "coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". I believe that there are multiple examples of this coverage including:
While I appreciate that this is on the lower-end of the scale of notability compared to many articles, I believe it does meet the threshold.
2. The coverage ranges in time over 3 years which fits with the guidance in WP:GNG that "notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time"
3. The company is growing strongly and has now over 150 companies, city councils and NHS Trusts using its software. While there are not yet citeable sources for this information, I believe that the page will grow in its references and its usefulness to the public over the coming months.

Yes, this individual is a genuinely nice person, he has won a little known award (I know it, but no RS-sources for the award either and winning it does not make one notable), and has done consulting for a TV-series. That is very far from WP notability. By the same standard, any person who has ever won any award or worked for any company or pretty much done anything should have an article. This is about as far from notability I've ever come across on Wikipedia (joke articles aside). I suggest a speedy delete as per SNOW

The article notes:
The article lists the six founding partners as:The former chief executives of Crown Zellerbach, Alumax, NL Industries and Thomson Consumer Electronics who all lost their jobs or resigned following takeovers - are now planning a series of acquisitions themselves.
The four, together with two former big-league investment bankers, have formed a San Francisco partnership that will buy and run U.S. manufacturing companies.
American Industrial Partners, which so far has been operating on its members' personal funds, in the next few weeks will begin raising $100 million to $250 million in equity from outside investors.
...
The partners aim to buy mid-size manufacturing and industrial service and distribution companies at prices ranging from $50 million to $300 million. They're looking for private companies and divisions of public companies that have high market shares and special product, production and/or distribution niches, but that may be undercapitalized or have under-used assets.
The article notes:
But back-to-basics dealmaking has helped American Industrial quietly assemble an impressive portfolio of manufacturers. The firm, which includes former CEOs of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., Mead Corp. and Stanley Works, has spent about half of its $217 million buyout fund to acquire five companies with more than 4,000 employees and $500 million in revenues.
Now, the partnership is poised to more than double its industrial assets by buying Sweetheart Holdings Inc., the corporate descendant of Maryland Cup Corp. Sweetheart, which generates an estimated $900 million in revenues, has 8,000 employees, including 2,500 at a factory in Owings Mills.
...
American Industrial, a privately held limited partnership with offices in San Francisco and New York, does not release financial data. But interviews with company officials and industry observers confirm the view of a conservatively run group that seeks to revive companies by cutting debt and improving operations at companies such as Easco Aluminum Corp.
...
American Industrial's money comes from 11 investors, including five former CEOs. The partnership was formed in 1988 and built a $217 million capital fund that runs until 1998, with two one-year extension options.
Besides Mr. Rogers, partners include Richard Bingham, a former managing director and head of the merger and acquisition division at Lehman Brothers, a New York investment firm; Thomas Barrett, who headed Goodyear; Burnell Roberts, the former chief of Mead, a paper company; and Donald W. Davis, former head of Stanley, a tool maker.
The article notes:
American Industrial Partners Capital Fund IV LP set a big task for itself in buying the Decatur operations of Fleetwood Enterprises Inc.
...
New York-based AIP has been in business since 1989. A BusinessWeek profile describes it as a private-equity company that specializes in turning around "leading middle-market" industrial and manufacturing companies.
In 2004, it bought Stolle Machinery, which makes equipment used in the manufacturing of aluminum cans. Alcoa sold Stolle at a time when its stock price was stagnating and it needed to raise cash, Randall said.
Some private-equity groups buy companies, dismantle them and sell the pieces for a quick profit. But AIP instead bought Stolle's major competitor, Sequa Can Machinery Inc., consolidated the companies and grew the enterprise.
The article discusses American Industrial Partners' acquisition of Sweetheart Holdings Inc. The article notes:
Sweetheart Holdings was spun off from Sweetheart Cup Company.The former Maryland Cup, which still employs 2,500 in Owings Mills and is one of the dominant cup makers in the country, was sold in May by Morgan Stanley Group Inc. to American Industrial Partners.
AIP, a limited partnership headed by several former top executives, promised to cut the Chicago-based company's debt and infuse it with capital.
...
Sweetheart, which generates an estimated $900 million in revenues and has 8,000 employees, more than doubles AIP's size.
AIP, which is privately held and run by former CEOs of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., Mead Corp. and Stanley Works, now owns six industrial companies with 12,000 employees and $1.4 billion in revenues.
The company makes about 80 percent of its revenues producing disposable food cups, trays, plates and other items for fast-food restaurants and delicatessens.
The article notes:
Sweetheart Holdings Inc. will be sold for about $441 million to an investment group that will also recapitalize the debt-laden company.
The group, which includes several former corporate chief executives, agreed in May to purchase the Chicago-based maker of paper cups and plates and ice cream cones from the Morgan Stanley Group. ...
...
American Industrial Partners, a private investment group that buys industrial and manufacturing companies, is raising $107 million of equity, and will own 66.3 percent of Sweetheart. ...
The partners in American Industrial are Tom Barrett, former chairman, president and chief executive of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company; Richard Bingham, former managing director and head of corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions at Lehman Brothers; Donald Davis, former chairman, president and chief executive of Stanley Works; Burnell Roberts, former chairman, president and chief executive of the Mead Corporation, and Theodore Rogers, former chairman, president, chief executive and chief operating officer of NL Industries.
The article notes:
Private-equity firm American Industrial Partners achieved a similar miracle. It converted New York-based Great Lakes Carbon, the world's largest producer of calcined petroleum coke used to process aluminum, into a Canadian income trust, raising $133 million and receiving securities convertible into units worth $150 million, or 2.3 times what American Industrial bought Great Lakes Carbon for five years earlier in 1998.
The article notes:
American Industrial Partners executives say it differs from other financial investors "through the deep operating expertise of its partners and executive officer association.' This leadership team is made up of former top officers of Fortune 200 companies including Robert L. Purdum, a former CEO of Armco Steel Corp.; Tom H. Barrett, a former CEO of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.; Burnell R. Roberts, a former CEO of Mead Corp.; Theodore C. Rogers, a former CEO of NL Industries; W. Richard Bingham, a former head of mergers and acquisitions manager at Lehman Brothers, plus retired executives from Oshkosh Truck, Raychem, Tenneco Automotive, Union Pacific and U.S. Steel.
...
With offices in San Francisco and New York, AIP invests in manufacturing and industrial service companies in North America. Typical equity investments range from $10 million to $50 million.
AIP holdings include Bucyrus International Inc., Central Industrial Supply Inc., Consoltex Group Inc., Great Lakes Carbon Corp., MBA Polymers Inc., Sanluis Developments, L.L.C., Stanadyne Corp., Sweetheart Holdings Inc., Wabtec Corp. and Williams Controls.
The article notes:
Theodore C. Rogers, who heads American Industrial Partners, a $200-million investment fund with backing from the Bank of America and Wells Fargo pension funds, among others, is looking to invest in manufacturing and industrial distribution companies.
The fund brings operating expertise as well as cash to investments; Rogers is a former chairman of NL Industries and a longtime manufacturing executive.
...
Rogers expects shortly to invest almost $12 million in two box-making companies in Northern California--names undisclosed because the deal is not signed yet.
The $12 million, which will represent 42% of the two firms' combined equity capital, will go for high-speed packaging and production lines and an ink plant to serve both companies. With the new machinery, American Partners hopes to increase profits from $1.3 million to $3 million within 18 months, and to earn their returns as the businesses grow from there.
The article notes:
Since 1990, Rubatex's parent company, RBX Holdings Inc., has been owned by New York-based AEA Investors, whose partners include Roger Smith, the former chief executive officer of General Motors Corp. AEA has taken a mostly hands-off approach to the firm and relied on hired managers for its knowledge of the rubber industry.
The same probably won't be said about American Industrial Partners, which last week agreed to buy the company in a deal expected to be done in about two months.
Formed in 1989 and based in San Francisco and New York, AIP counts among its many partners Thomas Barrett, a former chairman and chief executive officer of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. And AIP already is in the rubber business - it recently completed an $80 million buyout of Day International Inc., an Ohio-based rubber manufacturer.
The article notes:
But the New York-based private-equity firm American Industrial Partners is betting it can transform so-called water-jet technology into a bigger and faster-growing business. The firm spent $350 million over the past 16 months to buy two of the world’s largest water-jet firms, Flow International Corp. and KMT Waterjet, both U.S. based. It aims to promote one of the technology’s main advantages—it doesn’t create heat—amid growing use of composite materials, including plastics, that can melt when cut with lasers or torches.
...
... says David Savage, chief executive of Waterjet Holdings, which was set up by American Industrial as a holding company for the two firms it bought.
...
Flow, the world’s biggest maker of water-jet equipment, had suffered in recent years from sluggish sales growth and was pressured by activist shareholders to improve returns. Five months after its board put the Kent, Wash.-based company on the block in April 2013, American Industrial emerged as the winning bidder, paying about $200 million, or $4.05 a share. Flow traded at more than $14 a share in mid-2006.
Both Flow and KMT, which was acquired by American Industrial in 2013 for $148 million, suffered from a common ailment of companies run by engineers, says Mr. Marvin
The article notes:
Private equity firm American Industrial Partners will be moving from its current offices at 535 Fifth Avenue for its own tower floor at 330 Madison Avenue.
The firm, which invests in North American industrial businesses, will be taking 9,848 square feet of space on the 28th floor of 330 Madison Avenue. The lease is for 10 years. Asking rent for the space was roughly $90 a square foot.
...
Founded in 1989, AIP had been in a 4,829-square-foot space on the 32nd floor at 535 Madison Avenue as early as 1993, according to CoStar data. The company was rapidly growing, and was attracted to the 535 Madison Avenue’s proximity to Bryant Park and to nearly all major transportation lines, said a person close to the deal.

I believe that Kaido does have significant notability. There are three reasons I think this.
1. The guidelines state that the subject should have received "coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". I believe that there are multiple examples of this coverage including:
While I appreciate that this is on the lower-end of the scale of notability compared to many articles, I believe it does meet the threshold.
2. The coverage ranges in time over 3 years which fits with the guidance in WP:GNG that "notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time"
3. The company is growing strongly and has now over 150 companies, city councils and NHS Trusts using its software. While there are not yet citeable sources for this information, I believe that the page will grow in its references and its usefulness to the public over the coming months.
Thanks for taking the time to read. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ihid ( talk • contribs) 20:33, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
The result was soft delete. WP:REFUND applies. Sandstein 20:24, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
An obvious delete per
WP:SNOW. There is nothing that even hints at notability, no mention in any notable sources, absolutely nothing. Yes, this individual is a genuinely nice person, he has won a little known award (I know it, but no RS-sources for the award either and winning it does not make one notable), and has done consulting for a TV-series. That is very far from WP notability. By the same standard, any person who has ever won any award or worked for any company or pretty much done anything should have an article. This is about as far from notability I've ever come across on Wikipedia (joke articles aside). I suggest a speedy delete as per SNOW

The result was delete. Also noting that "Firemonger" does not currently appear in the main article. czar 19:26, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
Article about a defunct project to distribute Mozilla Firefox on CD. While it seems like a worthy task, the article is completely unreferenced and fails to establish notability.
The only independent reference I could find is a mention in a 2005 German book Firefox: Tipps, Tricks, Hacks ( google books). That alone doesn't seem like enough. the wub "?!" 23:16, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
The result was no consensus. This secondary school deletion discussion has reached no more consensus than any of the others of this sort that I've closed. There is a fundamental disagreement regarding this particular topic which the community in general does not seem close to resolving. 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions) 13:52, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
Appears to be a
non-notable school. Was unable to find any
reliable sources to establish notability. {{u|

13:06, 8 October 2018 (UTC)Keep: The article needs work, but I also think we can benefit from having this reference of an official public diploma granting institution. Finnishela ( talk) 14:58, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
Let's see those sources. Otherwise, there is no basis in references for keeping this article. czar 19:55, 20 October 2018 (UTC)Secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist.
