Copied from my talk page (Syrthiss (talk)): I think United Drug is an article of note, and I'll work more on it when I get a chance; here's an Irish Times article from May 11, 2010 stating that "United Drug has today reported pre-tax profits of €31.5 million for the six months to the end of March 2010, a five per cent increase on the €30 million recorded a year earlier."
I think this is notable enough for a wikipedia article, although the company probably isn't that well known outside of the UK and Ireland.--Eggonclegg (talk) 14:21, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please wait for annual data before updating on Ashfield being largest profit driver. As this was not the case in Q2-3, it is still an open question whether they will be at the end of the fiscal year. The relevant number for updates are the annual numbers; quartely numbers can be unrepresentative and just give unnecessary noise, there is also the problem of cherrypicking numbers.

Please restore the reliably-sourced information you are deleting Iselilja. Don't play coy and act like this is about any of that stuff you just said. The context of the situation is clear enough that we don't need people pretending that they are reverting something for any reason other than banned/paid editor paranoia.--The Devil's Advocatetlk.cntrb.22:10, 15 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Please refrain from unwarranted attacks like in your last sentence. Not all information in reliable sources are notable for inclusion and I provided an explanation above. On another note, one of the provided sources (Fleet News) is a press release dressed up like journalism and I don't think it's adamant to include that. Iselilja (talk) 22:18, 15 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
