Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Business

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Business. 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:
  1. 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.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Business|~~~~}} 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 Business. 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.

References do not pass WP:SIRS, so this does not pass WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:32, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. "businessing" looks like a vanity 'interview' site which advertised paid placement and guest/sponsored posting. 'dailymail' is a depreciated source and the other remaining media sources are simply noting survey results and other content marketing from the company. A large amount of SEO/PR and other paid placement was removed from the article before it was moved to articlespace by the declared paid creator. I was not able to find any reliable sources specific to the company in a search. Sam Kuru (talk) 17:51, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Sources used are not substantial (App Store, Microsoft Edge Addons, Chrome Web Store, LSU Financial Aid, "Favorite Chrome extensions"), are not more than trivial mentions (The Guardian, CBS News), are not independent of the company (Businessing Magazine), or are published by unreliable or questionable sources (International Scholarships Search, Mail Online, Newsweek). I did some searching but did not find much - this company's reports are cited often, but only by articles that list the "top 50 CostCo snacks", etc. Not in-depth coverage. -- Reconrabbit 18:12, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article does not meet WP:GNG. There is no evidence of significant, independent coverage from reliable sources to establish a lasting impact in the field. Most references appear to be minor news snippets, social media, or self-published material, which do not qualify as substantial verification under Wikipedia's standards. Without additional, credible sources demonstrating notable achievements or career recognition. 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 13:33, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your claims are demonstrably false. Reverse this unjustified nomination for deletion. You have claimed multiple falsehoods which are against the Community Guidelines of Wikipedia.
To clarify:
List of nationally and internationally distributed news organizations referenced in the article:
- The Inquirer.net
- The Philippine Star
- ABS-CBN News
- the Manila Bulletin
- Mega magazine
- Philstar.com
- PEP. Ph
All sources explicitly note Stacey Gabriel and her notable activities.
---
Meanwhile your claims of "self published" material being used is false. Note an example of it or kindly retract your false claim. If you cannot back up this claim, nor retract it, your submission will be flagged as an abuse of Wikipedia policy.
---
"Without additional, credible sources demonstrating notable achievements or career recognition"
Multiple independent sources outline dozens of TV series episodes Stacey participated in, as well as her participation and placing 1st Runner-Up in the 2024 Miss Universe Philippines competition are noted. This is in addition to her success in the national Binibining Pilipinas pageant.
Are these not notable?
---
"social media"
There are no social media references in this article.
---
Given no evidence to support this unjustified action, reverse this flagrantly unjustified and deceptive nomination for deletion. Mickfir (talk) 16:57, 9 May 2025 (UTC) Note to closing admin: Mickfir (talkcontribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD. [reply]
Dear @Mickfir,
I want to clarify that the nomination was made in good faith, based on a review of the article’s current sourcing and in line with WP:GNG and WP:BIO some of the listed sources are reliable, and this Afd only for english version. 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 17:05, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why include false claims that social media and self published material was used as references? There is not a single referenced source that was self published nor any reference to social media. This is a harmful oversight at best and deliberately deceptive at worst.
As for notability... I repeat, dozens of interdependently verified TV Episode performances and multiple national pageants including Miss Universe Philippines as 1st Runner-up. Mickfir (talk) 17:15, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Let me check! WP:AFD is not only for deletion it's a basic procedure to determine whether an article is suitable for Wikipedia. Many contributors will review it and vote, so there's no need to panic just let the contributors decide.𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 17:16, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Let me check" ? You nominated this article for deletion without even checking if the claims you are making against it are true?
Perhaps this article is worth a read: Wikipedia:Don't lie
"basic procedure to determine whether an article is suitable for Wikipedia"
No. Wikipedia best practice clearly indicates that if an article has areas for improvement, the 'Talk' page should be used to suggest edits, or you make the edits yourself.
Nominating an article for deletion based on false claims is a flagrant abuse of Wikipedia recommended practice. Mickfir (talk) 10:28, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Sources like ABS-CBN News, The Philippine Star, Manila Bulletin, and others mentioned by Mickfir are reliable. But some, like IMDb, aren't and should be removed. doclys (❀) 18:32, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Keep. Most of the claims made by @S-Aura about incorrect sourcing were false - made without even checking them first. The IMDb references have been removed as per the advice @Doclys Mickfir (talk) 10:09, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Miss_Universe_Philippines_2024. Not seeing her being notable. She did not win the pageant and her acting career does not look like enough for a stand alone article. Ramos1990 (talk) 02:27, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think we have another skim reader. Shame the wiki community is so full of them. May I respectfully remind the administrator assessing this that this very nomination for deletion was made under false pretenses of nonexistent social media and self published citations. There are none.
    Multiple independent sources outline over a dozen TV series episodes Stacey participated in with national distribution, as well as her participation and placing 1st Runner-Up in the 2024 Miss Universe Philippines competition are noted. This is in addition to her success in the national Binibining Pilipinas pageant. This, in addition to a nationally recognized prison ministry program.

Note to admin: the comments justifying the original nomination for deletion by @S-Aura contain false claims about the citations of the article. Not only does this invalidate the original AfD nomination but the community members that utilize false claims should be cautioned by admins.
Summary:
Claim: "Most references appear to be ... social media, or self-published material,"
Reality: there were never any such citations. All citations are from nationally, and in some cases internationally distributed news organizations.
This AfD discussion was raised under false pretenses and should therefor be retracted. AfD nominations should not be justified by outright falsehoods. Mickfir (talk) 10:12, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear, No personal attacks WP:NPA.
Thankyou! 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 11:06, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Highlighting that you justified this AfD by making false claims is not a personal attack. Your claims are either correct or false. There is nothing personal. Just accountability. May I ask why you chose to include false information in your AfD nomination? Is not the Wikipedia Community dependent on telling the truth? Wikipedia:Don't lie
Or can you list which citation was from "social media" or "self published"?
There was clearly no such faulty citations. Mickfir (talk) 13:04, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not appear to be notable upon search. Although they have a considerably large social media following, it does not contribute to notability. No secondary coverage found that would satisfy WP:NORG or WP:GNG. WormEater13 (talkcontribs) 00:55, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are no references at all to this insurance-related industry-funded company in Florida. FeralOink (talk) 01:35, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep this article needs to be improved and sourced (If I have time I will do those things later,) but this article has reliable sources and the subject is notable. After all, notability is based off of the existence of sources, not just the ones in the article. It's also a non-profit, not really a company. Here we go: [2][3][4][5][6][7] (Primary, non independent source), [8][9][10][11][12][13]. In essence, this is a data collection non profit for the insurance industry, and its relatively influential and important. Clearly passes the WP:GNG and the WP:NORG guidelines. In the future, please conduct an adequate WP:BEFORE check. --AnonymousScholar49 (talk) 03:22, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - AnonymousScholar49 is correct, that there exist some good sources that someone could add to the article, e.g. US Bureau of Labor Statistics and Insurance Journal are legit. As for this being a non-profit, I don't know about that. It is described as "a U.S. insurance rating and data collection bureau specializing in workers' compensation. Operating with a not-for-profit philosophy and owned by its member insurers...". I'm not sure why this is important but merely responding to Anon.--FeralOink (talk) 21:41, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not much can be written about the subject. Fails WP:SIGCOV. Most of the available information is his role for taking over the Kamuning Bakery. No information on the works that made him awarded the Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature.

Article on a disc golf equipment manufacturer entirely reliant on primary or non-independent sources that doesn't meet WP:NORG or WP:GNG. While they do appear on the surface to be a fairly major supplier of equipment, a search did not reveal any additional sources that would lend notability, with all results limited to either press releases, the organization's corporate website, or listings in shopping sites. The single book referenced in the article only contains passing mentions of the company. nf utvol (talk) 14:38, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: A quick web search shows Innova is one of the top manufacturers of equipment for disc golf (if not the top). It sponsors professionals, events and hundreds of tournaments.[14] [15] [16] [17]. Google books shows lots of hits. I found a mention in a scholarly paper [18]. Another mention in an American Press article [19]. Another article: [20].

    Okay, so a lot to unpack here. Going to just go by your numbering...
    1: Paid sponsorships do not contribute to notability (source is not independent).
    2: A single paragraph review in a list of products in Wired is not enough to establish notability (source may or may not be independent and reliable).
    3: Another paid sponsorship that cannot be used to establish notability (source is not independent).
    4: Relies on corporate press releases, and doesn't provide significant coverage of the subject anyway.
    5: A passing mention in a paper that it is not the subject of is not enough to provide significant coverage.
    6: A passing mention in a news article is not enough to provide significant coverage.
    7: Behind a paywall, but from what I can tell it would likely only be a passing mention and not enough to provide significant coverage.
    8-12: Paid sponsorships do not contribute to notability.
    None of these links meet the mark for contributing to notability for either WP:GNG or WP:NORG. nf utvol (talk) 23:49, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Players were also categorized by whether they were sponsored by one of three major equipment makers. Innova, Discraft, and Prodigy were identified as the "big three," because they sponsored more players in the sample than other companies." [26]
I didn't found good RS, but I think that's enough. Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 02:25, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You said it yourself, you didn't find good RS. A bunch of non-SIGCOV in non-RS does not establish notability. Please take a minute to review WP:RS and WP:NORG. nf utvol (talk) 23:56, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete It's clear that Innova is a major player in disc golf, but there is a distinct lack of reliable sources to justify keeping the page. Even the sources provided by @Itzcuauhtli11 were admitted to being unreliable despite the vote for keep as also noted by @Nfutvol.
