Talk:Okmetic

Okmetic Wikipedia page update

• Why it should be changed:

Okmetic text should be fully replaced with the following, more informative text below. Also infobox should be updated as described below.

The current text mainly highlights Okmetic’s ownership and geographic presence but leaves out its product range, history, and industry role. I suggest replacing it with the proposed text because it provides a more balanced, updated, and comprehensive summary of the company, consistent with WP:LEAD. The new version includes factual details about its product portfolio, founding, certifications, and fab expansion.

Not done: The changes are not supported by neutral, independent, reliable sources. Please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made.  PK650 (talk) 09:34, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello @PK650, and thank you for your time. I submitted an updated version of the Okmetic article some weeks ago and have since added all the requested references and improvements. I would appreciate any further feedback or guidance on how the draft could be accepted for publication.

If there is anything else needed before the article can be accepted or before it can replace the current stub, please let me know.

If you are not available to review the draft, could you advise who might be able to help move this forward? Thank you again for your assistance. Norevin (talk) 10:04, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi. I've noticed you have added sourcing and further copy edit suggestions. Kindly resubmit a COI request so you're placed in the queue. PK650 (talk) 14:34, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi [PK650], thanks for your suggestion! I've now added the requested references to the article, both external and Wikipedia links. Please feel free to review and let me know if anything else needs improvement. Okmetic (talk) 10:20, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I've further added sources to support the text. Please let me know if anything else needs improvement. Thank you! Norevin (talk) 10:27, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I hope it's alright to ask here. I recently made some edits to this article, but they haven’t appeared yet. I understand that the review process will take some time, and I truly appreciate the care taken to maintain quality. Would it be possible to know if there’s anything I should do or revise to help move things forward? Thank you in advance! / Norevin Norevin (talk) 17:13, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

== History ==

Okmetic was founded in 1985 as a joint venture between Nokia and Outokumpu. The company’s first crystal and wafer facility was built in [[Espoo]], Finland in 1987, and in 1997, Okmetic commenced production in [[Vantaa]], Finland. Production at the Espoo facility ended in 2004 as operations were consolidated. In 1999, it established Okmetic, Inc. sales office in the United States, followed by Okmetic K.K. sales office in Japan in 2006. 
Okmetic listed on Nasdaq Helsinki in 2000 and delisted in 2016 after being acquired by National Silicon Industry Group (NSIG). <ref>{{cite web

The above request is unintelligible, and nothing will be changed in the article. - Walter Ego 08:18, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

I have formally declined this request to remove it from the backlog. If you'd like to request it again, please break your changes into individual edits rather than suggesting a rewrite of the entire article, and make sure that you are using Wikipedia:independent sources.
