The article was nominated for speedy deletion as A7. I declined the speedy, but I think it would be good if it has gone through AfD since the notability is not obvious. Ymblanter (talk) 08:04, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, does not meet WP:Corp; not notable, local trivia and Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Kierzek (talk) 18:15, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep after additions and cites added by SVTCobra. Kierzek (talk) 23:33, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I believe it does meet notability standards. This is the parent company of 13 newspapers, at least three of which have their own Wikipedia articles. Many of these newspapers are being used as reliable sources on Wikipedia. Also, I find it extremely harsh that an article gets nominated for speedy deletion within 30 minutes of creation. It survives the speedy, but nominated for AfD within 8 hours of its creation. Other editors have not had a chance to contribute yet! How do we expect people to create new articles if they get deleted right away? Do we expect new articles to be FA-class right away? BTW, I have added more history and secondary sources since Kierzek voted. Cheers, SVTCobra (talk) 20:50, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Plenty of sources were put in after the hasty 20 (!) minutes after creation A7 was slammed down for this; notable community publisher. @Reddogsix:, please give an article creator some wiggle room before a SPEEDY tag is put down on an article being built up.
