Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Business

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:

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|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.

Vision: The Journal of Business Perspective

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

Nothing much on the page to suggest the notability criteria have been met and I'm not finding much else to consider. WP:NJOURNAL is an essay and a bit opaque but I'm not seeing anything there that this journal unambiguously fits for inclusion. JMWt (talk) 06:43, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Business-related deletion discussions. JMWt (talk) 06:43, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To add: the editor that worked on this page also worked on a number of other journals from the same publisher. Which seems a bit suspicious (of COI editing) given they didn't seem to do anything else in their editing history. JMWt (talk) 06:47, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Journal is indexed and fairly well-ranked in SCOPUS. Keep per WP:NJOURNALS. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 07:54, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WAMPOC/WAMPEX

Insufficient notability, as it relies on self-referential sources and lacks significant independent coverage from credible publications that establish the conference as a prominent part within the energy industry Mapsama (talk) 07:05, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Opera Nightclub

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

Orphan article authored in 2013, with an unaddressed maintenance tag for lack of notability also dating to 2013. Created and overwhelmingly most heavily edited (3/4 of its content) by an author with a conflict of interest. Subject venue closed in 2019[5] and is therefore unlikely ever to receive coverage that would confer notability. Wikipedia is not a compendium of every nightclub that has ever existed. Damon Killian (talk) 16:13, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Entertainment and Georgia (U.S. state). Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:00, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Added sources rapidly; the place, as one source indicates, has "a storied history" and had various names. It's still existing as Domaine (https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/a-new-domaine-takes-over-opera-nightclub-space) but even if it hadn't reopened, an article about this place of historical interest has merit.

Keep per WP:SIGCOV. My !vote to keep is only because it has significant coverage. I actually disdain this sort of influencer celebrity culture club. Bearian (talk) 21:16, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not a notable business person. No significant coverage Wp:SIGCOV is available about the subject. His father may be notable, but he is not, and notability is not inherited. Zuck28 (talk) 02:29, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

African American Barbers in Fargo-Moorhead

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

New article that, in addition to seeming AI-generated, is almost entirely WP:OR. I was not able to verify that the broad category of this article is notable even if some of the individuals discussed are, and the sources used only relate to individuals, not "African American Barbers" as a whole. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 23:49, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History, Business, Minnesota, and North Dakota. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:13, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I did find a possibly useful source from 2022 that spent several paragraphs talking about this topic, so there might be an article lead here.^[1] Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 04:52, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This *is* helpful - I need to brush up on my Newspapers.com skills! If deletion happens, we could potentially incorporate some of this into the "History" sections of Fargo, North Dakota and Moorhead, Minnesota. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 13:26, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the topic is too specific and narrow. Wikipedia is not a local history yearbook. I recommend expanding the pages mentioned by Thadeus. Geschichte (talk) 10:22, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete does not meet GNG. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:00, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Very much WP:OR; there is no evidence of WP:SIGCOV of this particular subject (although I do recognize that perhaps African Americans in Fargo-Moorhead, rather than barbers in particular, might be a notable topic based on the Forum article linked above).

Dorrance Publishing Company

I see no SIRS sources, maybe except [6], but that may fall under TRADES. Janhrach (talk) 19:04, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are 25,000+ hits for this on newspapers.com. I would guess at least some of those are sigcov. Generally it is extremely difficult to find sigcov for prolific book publishers, not because it doesn't exist, but because it's drowned out by decades worth of citations to the books they published. Not voting but I would advise people be careful before they vote. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:19, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Yeah, they've been around for 100 yrs and you get a zillion hits in Gnews and Gscholar, but I can't find much about the company. I found a newspaper ad from 1939 and stuff published in 2022 from them. This is a hard one. Oaktree b (talk) 19:53, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Not that hard. Strange but untrue (talk · contribs) did some of the hard work back in 2015 finding that magazine source by Mick Rooney. And it's easy to filter out publication credits just by looking for things about the founder. That said, other than the Rooney 2014 source all that I've found is sources that lump this in with Vantage Press. Uncle G (talk) 20:11, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Most of what I find online is around the book Why is Your Country at War by Lindburgh, gov't had the printing plates destroyed during WW1, "Why is your country at war gordon dorrance" brings up still lots of coverage, but the NY Times and others had articles about it, I'll see if I can free up some time later to go through them. Oaktree b (talk) 20:21, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
weak keep: Some info found in obituaries for Gordon Dorrance that founded the company. This appears to be independent [7]. You can also look up about a class action lawsuit against the company recently. We probably have enough for a Basic stub article. Oaktree b (talk) 20:09, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge agree, it's a 19 year old article with no references. The parent company only has a passing mention of the channel on it's website at [[8]]. Google news search for 'veplus Cisneros Media' gives two results, neither would be considered significant coverage of the article's subject. A newsbank search for the same search term returns 5 results which appear to be new show annoucements and partnerships, rather than in-depth coverage about the child company. It doesn't seem to warrant it's own article at all.

Keep The article is duly referenced, which demonstrates its relevance since its creation in 2019, based on the now-defunct channel: Venevisión Plus. Thanks. --Mauriziok (talk) 20:22, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Does have some info worth preserving but merged with Cisneros Media. Ramos1990 (talk)

List of breweries in San Diego County, California

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

WP:NOT. This is as close it as it can get to a directory/Yellow Page and I question the encyclopedic value. Graywalls (talk) 02:48, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of breweries in California. DotesConks (talk) 00:21, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but remove all of the breweries without Wikipedia articles. Keeping this list up-to-date is unrealistic -- the only reason to keep it is to serve as a navigational aid for the several Wikipedia articles on breweries in the county, but that is a good reason to do so. The yellow-pages problem can be fixed by deleting everything without a Wikipedia article -- anything that gets an article can be re-added. Mrfoogles (talk) 02:56, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of breweries in California. Agree with @Mrfoogles that we should not be listing non-notable locations – microbreweries are common and usually unremarkable local businesses like other stores and restaurants and don't need to be listed, but this doesn't warrant a separate county list. The statewide list should also be trimmed to the notable ones though. Reywas92^Talk 03:30, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Going to note merging appears to have been already discussed on the talk page of this list, so there might be some useful info there. Mrfoogles (talk) 04:18, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of breweries in California. Keep only notable entries (with articles) and cleanse the rest. Ajf773 (talk) 09:14, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with Mrfoogles: Keep, but remove all of the breweries without Wikipedia articles. This will remove about half of the listings and leave only the ones that are notable enough to have their own article. There are enough notable breweries in the county to justify an article listing them. -- MelanieN (talk) 09:48 19 March 2025 (UTC)
There is also Beer in San Diego County, California#Notable breweries as a merge target. There are fewer than 20 notable breweries and we certainly don't need a standalone page for just a bulleted list when there's this article and the statewide list. Reywas92^Talk 14:02, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of breweries in California retaining only notable ones. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:24, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with List of breweries in California: It makes more sense to merge list with list I think. Both lists should be trimmed of non-notable shops though. Moritoriko (talk) 00:06, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with List of breweries in California: Agree with Ajf773 above - None of the other counties have a separate page. Page for List of breweries in California is big, but as suggested above, it can be trimmed to keep only notable entries after the merge. Asteramellus (talk) 00:59, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
