Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Companies
Points of interest related to Companies on Wikipedia: Portal – Category – WikiProject – Alerts – Deletions – Assessment – To-do |
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Companies. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Companies|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Companies. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

There is no indication that this is a notable product per WP:NPRODUCT. The only coverage is about funding at the time of startup, most of which appears to be based on quotes from the product's principals, and other similar churnalism and rehashes of press releases. I cannot find adequate information in third-party sources to satisfy WP:GNG. Kinu t/c 16:28, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. The sourcing relies entirely on interviews with people connected with the company, announcements, or mentions in passing due to their involvement in organising events, those sources do not contain any in-depth "Independent Content" about the company.

- Hi- just wanted to contribute as the writer of the article. I wrote it after reading about the company's focus on work in the black diaspora, which aligned with a wiki project I've been involved with on and off. I did look closely at the sources for this article, because I know the ones I was using to establish notability (references 1-3) have interview content within them, but in looking at each article overall it seemed that there was significant content outside of the interview quotations, and that that content contained independent analysis- including looking at the wider industry context they are operating in, with statistics etc included in that. I also looked at the publications and writers to make sure they were both independent from the subject and engage in fact checking as part of their editorial process. I know 100% interview content does not establish notability, but I feel it is fairly uncommon for independent articles on companies or the people behind them not to structure their articles around a fair amount of interview content. The fact the company were also included in a way that was more than a passing mention in other major stories on Afrobeats, like the Rolling Stone one, suggested to me notability within the Afrobeats industry. Anyway, I just wanted to engage and outline why I used the sources I did. Thanks Thebookstamper (talk) 19:38, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Fails WP:NCORP. Non-notable organization. I've only been able to find trivial mentions in unrelated articles and this article in Real Estate Magazine that arguably isn't significant coverage anyways. C F A 💬 15:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: The Real Estate Magazine article is likely not independent either. The magazine does advertising and sponsored content, and the article does not have a listed author. REM (magazine) was similarly targeted by advertising, just like Realtors Association of Edmonton was. I don't see significant coverage of the magazine either so I may take it to an AfD as well. C F A 💬 16:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Seems like you failed to check for previous organization names, and the organization is very easy to find cited in independent articles, see below. Please do your due diligence properly.
- Edmonton Journal article mentioning organization
- CBC article mentioning organization
- CTV article mentioning organization
- DailyHive mention under a past name
- MoneySense article mentioning organization Mazshan (talk) 16:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- I am very well aware that there have been trivial mentions of this organization in reliable sources. Those do not count towards notability, though. Organizations must have received significant, in-depth coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources to be considered notable enough for a Wikipedia article. As I mentioned above, the only possible "significant coverage" is in a non-independent publication. C F A 💬 16:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- These are not what a due diligence check needs, we need extensive articles about this subject, not name drops. I would not even mention these in my search results, these are not helpful to show notability. Oaktree b (talk) 16:48, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Non-notable company per WP:CORP, variously called "Celebrations", Celebrations4U and Celebrations 4U, by its website and the sources cited. No significant coverage of the company itself in WP:RS, just WP:NEWSORGINDIA quotes from its company head in articles about wedding planning. Nothing online about the awards supposedly won, or the awards' significance, or about the company having offices abroad. Borderline speedy deletion candidate, if it weren't for the rent-a-quotes in national press. Strong aroma of undisclosed paid editing in this and other articles by the article creator.

Long list of sources consists of press releases, "articles" which upon closer inspection are paid for / press releases as well, awards of dubious notability, databases, ... Their Allmusic listings[2] have no reviews, there's even only one record with one user rating. Absolutely no sign of any notability (no better sources found online either), and likely a WP:COI creation (the only other article by same editor is Alonzo Black, presumably the father or grandfather of the founder of this record label). Fram (talk) 16:57, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Music, Entertainment, Companies, and Maryland. Fram (talk) 16:57, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- There are record labels listed here: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_record_labels that have a lot less notability. The press releases can be removed and that is fine and understandable. Mixedmdman (talk) 17:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Doing research on the initial article led to finding another topic to add. That is why there is a relation to the two articles. If you literally go to Google and type in the name of the first article you will find information about the second. I went through the guidelines and it appeared to be a topic worth an article when I compared it to other articles that are similar. Mixedmdman (talk) 17:52, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- I am new to Wikipedia so I'd appreciate any help on my articles instead of deleting them so that I can continue to learn and become a helpful and productive editor on the website. I welcome people to help me with the article and edit as necessary so I can see what was done wrong and I can become better. Mixedmdman (talk) 18:26, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. As far as I can tell, this doesn't meet WP:MUSIC's sense of one of the more important labels; does it have even a single notable artist signed to it? I don't know why we'd cover it if it weren't releasing any significant music. Chubbles (talk) 08:07, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Added notability citations and information. Has been the subject of multiple published works appearing in sources that not self-published and independent of the subject. Has been on a country's national music chart. Has released albums with major record label distribution as an independent label with a history of more than a few years with a roster of multiple performers. Has won or been nominated for music awards. Has won in a music competition. Has been placed in rotation by a music network. It meets numerous criteria. Mixedmdman (talk) 12:25, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete as promotional and possible hoax. The "Cashbox" reference is fake. So is the vsquared rocks. The Global Music Awards are not notable, and dozens of artists "win" these. Articles like the musictimes and NotjustOk references are blatant press/PR pieces. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 23:57, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

- Weak keep lean towards keep per WP NEXIST (Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article). The company had various names throughout its history, and it was mentioned in Turkish newspapers with no digital copies. I will try to add what I can find. 78.177.93.54 (talk) 08:15, 17 July 2024 (UTC) — 78.177.93.54 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- @Dirubii Olchoglu: The ConstructionNews URL you added to the article is dead and has never been archived by Wayback Machine, and constructionnews.com does not even seem like a website publishing articles. The book (curiously written by "J. Doe") doesn't seem to exist under this title, and the ISBN belongs to an edition of The Logic of Scientific Discovery. Could you clarify this situation? Janhrach (talk) 11:17, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Dirubii Olchoglu Even if the Construction News article was accessible to us, it wouldn't count toward notability as a WP:TRADES publication. Regardless of its size or the projects it worked on, the company needs to demonstrate WP:SIGCOV in WP:SIRS; notability isn't WP:INHERITED from projects it was involved in. Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:56, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep the sources are kind of/minimum sufficient. The 100 years company is highly likely notable and has sources per NEXIST. It also should be rewritten to avoid any promo. --Loewstisch (talk) 10:57, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. Keep !votes have asserted that minimal sources are present, but none have presented the sources they say meet the criteria. I have conducted the following source analysis and I do not see a single source that solidly passes the bar of WP:SIGCOV in WP:SIRS per WP:ORGCRIT. If there are more sources out there (and I didn't find any), "keep" !voters need to present them, not just assert they exist. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:15, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Although there are some sources covering this company (which led to a declined PROD in 2023), I'm not convinced they provide the genuinely independent coverage needed to pass our notability guidelines on companies. They adopt a highly promotional tone and are often heavily reliant on Agarwal's quotes or interview responses. The article itself also has a promotional tone. – Teratix ₵ 16:12, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

- Delete Article is sparse in content and promotional in tone (i.e., useless trivia like the amount of hours required in crafting an item). Citations therein are terrible and sources are puff-piece interviews, while the Verve link is dead and a linked article about Eith doesn't even mention the subject. Article makes a claim about the company being cited in many publications (only a few which themselves are notable) without proper citations backing it up.

This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*.

- Comment. I had a look at the company's web page and thought it looked like a typical piece of quackery of the sort one sees all the time in TV advertisements for slimming methods. "Hear from the experts": three "experts", two of them "best-selling authors", none of them with any clear qualifications in physiology or biochemistry. Athel cb (talk) 16:52, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep: I can find lots of routine product reviews, but there are a couple of in-depth sources on the product: [3], [4], as well as one small research study: [5]. Any product claiming to "hack your metabolism" pushes my bullshit needle into the red, but there does seem to be some coverage. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 23:42, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm actually not opposed to keeping the article based on Outside and Slate, and I agree that perhaps a procedural keep is the best option here (the nomination seems... a little suspicious to be honest) but I do feel the need to point of that the BrandBlend section of Jerusalem Post is pretty much just advertising WeirdNAnnoyed. It's only blatantly obvious for the ones that are marked "PR" or "In collaboration with <brand>" or "Walla!", but while it's easier to miss the for the rest I would heavily caution against using similar articles as RS unless there is no other choice.

- Keep. The company's data products are cited in at least 361 studies, including some studies in very good journals. Most of the time, Google Scholar does not pick up on data citations, so I think this is a pretty good indication that that the data created by the company are in widespread use. Most of these publications will describe the data in a standalone section, so I consider this to be significant independent coverage of the data product. Malinaccier (talk) 00:12, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

- The two links are just regurgitation of announcements that the channel is going to launch. Anyone can put out a press release that gets picked up by the media and re-run in different news outlets.

Still not notable. The last AfD (when the article was named Abdali Medical Center) was 5 years ago and the decision was to keep the article although it is notable that there was a number of editors saying it met GNG but didn't/wouldn't consider whether the sourcing met NCORP criteria. Nothing has changed in the meantime for me. This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*.
