Based on reasonable amount of effort made WP:BEFORE effort to locate sources, I do not believe this company meets WP:NCORP. The credible sources that are cited do not pass WP:ORGDEPTH. A lot of them are about the general politics of public funding of drug usage supplies, but not much independent analysis and discussion on this specific company by name. Their site says it's not a non-profit and not eligible for tax deduction on donation, so that affirmatively rules any possibility of evaluating with the less stringent WP:NONPROFIT SNG.

Delete SIGCOV is not reached; I agree that much of the sourcing is tangential and doesn't adequately cover Smoke Works. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 19:54, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete sounds good to me. I took a shot at this when I didn’t know how to work the website as well. I’d love to see a page for it someday but it needs more sources than are currently available Elttaruuu (talk) 15:37, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Elttaruuu: WP:AMOUNT is worth reading. More sources isn't always merrier. Listing out a bunch of sources that cover the subject trivially do not support notability. Lots of snippet references will never make up for lack of WP:CORPDEPTH. For example, "article subject Pipe Sales Company was established in Boston in 2000.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]" Graywalls (talk) 19:03, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I understand that now, I had just only been on Wikipedia for like three weeks when I made this Elttaruuu (talk) 19:07, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
