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.

- 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)
- 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)

- It seems that listed companies on major stock exchanges are not immediately presumed notable and still require sources to demonstrate notability (see WP:LISTED), but I would be very surprised if this one is not notable. The problem is that when I try to search for sources, the results are clogged by a huge amount of routine discussion of this company's stock price. Might count as an indicator of notability, though. Toadspike [Talk] 18:58, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

- Just would like to add that WP:CORPDEPTH argument does not hold here, there are substantial coverage in books and news media about Atul Limited. It is not a small a medium sized company , it is a large multi specialty chemicals manufacturing conglomerate which has spread its wings across the globe in these 8 decades. Also there is nothing promotional in the article, everything mentioned is a fact. The Lalbhai group are one of the most low-profile people, who hold highest esteem for their integrity, never involved in any controversy and known for their phinlantrohic activities also never seeking media attention and limelight. I have added many citations and expanded the article in last few days. Although I had removed promotional tag, it was added back without mentioning which part of article is promotion. It's current market cap is 19,995 crores, which is 199950 Millions. Jethwarp (talk) 03:36, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

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)

- 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 (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- "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)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, asilvering (talk) 04:36, 17 May 2025 (UTC)- 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)

- Thankyou! 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 11:06, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- 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

- 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)
- 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)

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)

Innova is undoubtedly one of the most prominent companies in the sport of disc golf, with numerous references available to support this assertion. You are welcome to mark the article as lacking references, but a deletion request is unwarranted. Iketsi (talk) 04:01, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- In order to support your claims, please provide the references. My WP:BEFORE review didn't turn up anything that would contribute to notability; if it's as prominent and important as you say it is, then I should have been able to find more than press releases, photo credits in a book, and listings on sporting goods sites. nf utvol (talk) 12:22, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- The bigger issue is that disc golf is mostly "grassroots" so it doesn't get the coverage most professional sports do. Innova doesn't pay for TV or other advertising. The oldest and most popular magazine "Disc Golfer" was sent to PDGA members free but is now behind a membership paywall.

- 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)
- "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)
- 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)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Eddie891 Talk Work 08:34, 16 May 2025 (UTC)- 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.

- Delete: I could not find reliable, independent and secondary sources providing significant coverage to meet the general notability guidelines. Short mentions are not enough. I agree with Nfutvol. — 🌊PacificDepths (talk) 06:55, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
