- Keep There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources (Richmond Times Dispatch, Free Lance Star) as well as some Associated Press coverage of the establishment of this research park as well as some ongoing coverage as it grows. Some of that coverage is already being used as reference material in the article. RadioFan (talk) 15:45, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The Richmond Times Dispatch article are trivial routine coverage of a local business. I don't see any AP articles Skrelk (talk) 23:36, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Free Lance Star is in another city, and coverage there has been ongoing so that alone demonstrates some interest in this subject beyond the local news. I'm seeing some mentions in the New York Times as well. I recall a mention in Forbes as well. In whole its more than just trivial routine coverage, certainly enough to demonstrate notability here.--RadioFan (talk) 02:14, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep- Sufficient in-depth coverage by third party sources like the Richmond Times Dispatch and the Free Lance Star suffice. The coverage WP:ROUTINE refers to are "such things as announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism" in which the coverage in this case is none of. --Oakshade (talk) 02:02, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
