Talk:Idaho Candy Company

Since :File:Idaho-Spud-Wrapper-Small.jpg, :File:Cherry-Cocktail-Wrapper-Small.jpg and :File:Old-Faithful-PC-Wrapper-Small.jpg are all non-free images, each use must satisfy all 10 of the criteria listed in WP:NFCCP and must not be any of the ways listed in WP:NFC#Unacceptable use. "Idaho-Spud-Wrapper-Small" does not have the separate, specific non-free use rationale it needs for this article per WP:NFCC#10c, is being used in a gallery or gallery-like way (i.e., for purely decorative purposes) which not allowed per WP:NFG, and does not show the "contextual significance" it needs per WP:NFCC#8 so it should not be used. The other two files have rationales for the article, but once again their usage fails both WP:NFG and WP:NFCC#8 so they should not be used as well. - Marchjuly (talk) 04:31, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Primary sources such as official webpages, etc. cannot be used to establish notability per WP:CORP or WP:GNG. What needs to be shown is that the company itself has received significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources per WP:CORP#Primary criteria. Has the company received any significant coverage in reliable, independent sources? Unless one or two sources can be provided the article is always going to be at risk of deletion via AfD. I was able to find these, some of which might be able to be used to show notability, but most of which could probably be at least used to support article content:
