Historical trends are a more accurate employee representation. I won't decline the request, but just something to bear in mind. PK650 (talk) 21:18, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article Rigaku has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

fails WP:COMPANY#Primary criteria

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

A search of Newspapers.com turned up only this, which is not independent and does not indicate notability:

Rigaku announced that it will receive the 2002 R&D 100 award from R&D magazine. Kenosha News, October 17, 2002, page 16

While the search only covered US newspapers, it showed numerous non-notable entries indicating a very large US presence, so that any notable events should have turned up.

Google is the same.

A search of JSTOR revealed only scientific papers which listed Rigaku meters among their instruments, as well as the Japanese word rigaku used in other contexts. Julian in LA (talk) 19:41, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
