Contested deletion[edit]

Oops! Sorry, I forgot I should not remove the speedy delete tag for an article I've created. Needless to say, I do not think this article should be deleted because there's sufficient secondary coverage. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:18, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I've used my Multnomah County Library card to search the archives of The Oregonian. A search for "Hippo Hardware" in the pre-1988 archives yields 29 returns spanning 1978 to 1987. A search for "Hippo Hardware" in the 1988-present archives yields 55 returns. I'd say there's no way this topic is not notable. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:07, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
