Text and/or other creative content from A.F.S.K. Hom Tov was copied or moved into Oil shale in Israel with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Lack of Activity[edit]

A.F.S.K. Hom Tov does not have a website and has not issued any news since 2006. The company never published the patent number of its claimed patent.Jdkag (talk) 00:48, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The patent is this one. Beagel (talk) 20:05, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that true. It seems that the described process, although patented, may be just a hype. I even think if the company meets WP:CORP notability guidelines. However, it seems that the company also had earlier media coverage. Beagel (talk) 17:14, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In Israel's listing of corporations, address of Hom Tov is same as that for A.F.S.K. Called A.F.S.K., they said that Feldman is no longer involved and that there is no longer anyone handling Hom Tov (which seems to have operated from A.F.S.K. offices in 2006). I called Glazer Investments and was told that Glazer's investment was never finalized. Here's the report that seems to have been inaccurate:

In 2006, 70% of the company shares was acquired by the group of investors led by Israeli businessman Ofer Glazer.^[1]Jdkag (talk) 19:12, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What is your proposal what to do with this article? Nominate it for deletion? Beagel (talk) 04:26, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They are still a registered company in Israel and it seems that they still own the IP to their technique. I wouldn't nominate to delete until there was solid evidence that they had closed. I only wanted to clarify that they are not doing any active development. Jdkag (talk) 16:52, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
