I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Edwardx with the no rationale; when I restored the notability template to get a third opinion, he removed it again with the edit summary "how is this company not notable?" - so we are here. All coverage for this company comes from agriculture/biotech trade journals/websites (that are not sufficient, per NCOMPANY's audience section); they are not numerous enough to qualify for exemption under CORPDEPTH, and the one mainstream, reliable source, Forbes' article at [1], mentions the company in passing, and is mostly about the millionaire who funded it. I don't think it's sufficient coverage to warrant standa-alone notability; I'd suggest merger to Harry Stine, but given the creator's custom of tag removal with little discussion, I think we should discuss the possible solutions here. For now, as I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:13, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
