Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Companies

WP:DS/CO

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.

Long list of sources but not a single source which describes about the company and its work. Most of them are just mentions or in the form of press release about acquiring film rights or announcing about films. Hard to find independent neutral coverage about this company to meet notability.

Keep - sports teams holding companies often are notable. Doing a before search brings up many hits for the company. Mostly books related to sports management. But I agree, the article should be redone to be less focused on the Spurs. ロドリゲス恭子 (talk) 18:02, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Some books have had multiple pages dedicated to SS&E, such as these, and they are national authors too rather than local San Antonio coverage.

Comment Thank you for bringing this article to AfD. I believe the subject may now meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines, as there is significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. It's possible that when earlier versions or submissions were reviewed, such coverage was not yet available, but recent searches (including on Google) show more in-depth and reliable sources. I support the AfD process in this case so that the wider community can evaluate whether the subject meets the notability criteria. I appreciate that this nomination was made in good faith.

Just to clarify a few things, and after this I’ll leave it here.

[39] – This is a detailed piece that gives significant coverage to the company. It wasn’t published on the same date as the others, so I’m not sure why it's being grouped that way. It clearly supports notability under GNG.

[40] – This is from India Today, which is both reliable and independent.

[41] – An exclusive from Forbes India should count as independent and non-trivial coverage.

[42] – This is another solid source from Deccan Chronicle that adds to the overall picture. Afstromen (talk) 19:11, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I draftified this because the original version was purely based on press releases. It was "improved" with other sources, but when the first source gives a 404 ([43]), as does the WSJ one[44], and I see a source like this one, I don't think it is worth keeping the article or the editor involved (note both the names of the writers and the ISBN):

Mornflake

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

Delete – The article reads more like a promotional piece than an encyclopedic entry. It provides minimal historical or critical context and instead focuses on listing products in a commercial tone. The references cited are either passing mentions or are not independent and reliable secondary sources with significant coverage of the subject. There is no evidence that Mornflake has received substantial attention in independent publications to meet WP:GNG or WP:CORP. In its current form, the article fails to justify its inclusion on Wikipedia. Unless substantial independent sourcing is found, deletion is appropriate.

  The review notes: "The Mornflake Go! high protein porridge is aimed at the physically active who want to get a protein boost with their breakfast porridge. It’s made of oat flakes supplemented with 12% soya protein. This ups its protein content to 21% from around 12% for standard porridge oats. So when made up with milk a serving gives you 14 grams of protein along with 26g of carbs – almost as much as many recovery bars and around 30% of the reference protein intake for an average adult. Being made with soya protein, Go! Is suitable for vegetarians too."

Now grain from all over the UK is used in their products, and they are, as well as in the UK, exported across the world."

Delete – While Mornflake may be a long-standing brand, the article does not meet the threshold of notability as defined by Wikipedia's notability guidelines for organizations. The argument to "keep" relies on sources that, when examined, fail to demonstrate significant independent coverage beyond passing mentions, routine business reporting, or product reviews. Let's review the sources cited in the "keep" rationale:

Cycling Weekly (2016) – This is a product review of "Mornflake Go!," not in-depth reporting about the company. Reviews of individual consumer products do not establish notability for the brand as a whole. See WP:ROUTINE and WP:NOTCATALOG.

Cheshire Life (2025) – A regional lifestyle piece focused on a company anniversary. While it adds local historical color, this type of coverage is largely promotional and lacks the depth and independence required by WP:SIGCOV.

BBC (2025) – A short, routine write-up about the company marking 350 years. While the BBC is a reliable source, the article does not offer deep critical analysis or sustained coverage beyond the milestone event. It's closer to a press release in tone.

CNBC (2014) – This article contradicts other sources on the company’s founding date and again repeats uncritical corporate claims. It does not provide the kind of analytical depth or independent investigation that demonstrates notability.

Daily Telegraph (2023) – The article discusses Waitrose delisting Mornflake among other brands as part of a broader strategy. Mornflake is mentioned, but the focus is on Waitrose. This is a passing mention at best, per WP:TRIVIAL.

Cheshire Independent (2020) – Merely notes a paid television advertisement campaign. Coverage of paid media buys does not confer notability, as it can be purchased by any entity with a marketing budget. See WP:NOTPROMO.

Daily Telegraph (2023) – Another product review, this time of granola. Reviews, especially when the product is not the main focus, are insufficient to establish notability.

A-Z of Crewe (2019) – A local-interest book with very limited distribution and factual inconsistencies (such as conflicting founding dates) further weakens the case.

Moreover, the article contains a list of products, which reads like a brand catalogue, violating WP:NOTDIR and suggesting a lack of encyclopedic tone. The presence of a family-run business, longevity, and a presence in local or trade publications do not alone meet the standard for inclusion in Wikipedia.

In conclusion, the Mornflake article lacks significant and independent coverage that goes beyond routine mentions, press-like features, or product reviews.

DV Boer Controversy

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

Shakily sourced controversy article; creating editor was blocked from editing Bagong Henerasyon (along with everyone else for now) for adding undue weight and poor Reddit-based blog sourcing about a minor controversy involving that organization, so they're taking their grievances to any other article related to BH they can find and creating what reads here as an unbalanced attack page (originally titled DV Boer Scam) against the organization using this company's issues to COATRACK about BH and related organizations, along with Roberto Gerard Nazal Jr..

Comment: For what it's worth (which isn't much), it would appear that DV Boer itself has no article — just this one about the controversy surrounding it. (Granted, it probably isn't impossible for an otherwise non-notable company to still have notable controversies; I offer no opinion as to whether that is the case here.) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 02:50, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I did take that in mind in nominating this; if there was a company article to redirect to I would not send this here, but straight off it's just an immediate attack with no context outside 'company bad', along with them trying to shove their view of BH anywhere they can. Nathannah • 📮 03:04, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot find any information about the company beyond its probably links to the Members Church of God International by MCGI Exiters group.

Gjika Amplification

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

Minor, non-notable amp maker, promotional article. Coverage fails WP:CORPTRIV. The closest thing to significant coverage is a reverb.com article that's just a few paragraphs in a list, and it's an e-commerce site anyway. The article is highly promotional in content - and probably purpose. The edit history is a years-long list of single-purpose IPs loading up on POV material, only to be reverted (and then re-adding it). Mbinebri (talk) 11:24, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The flagging for deletion of the Gjika Amplification Wikipedia article is misguided. Gjika Amplification is an established boutique guitar amplifier company with a clear and verifiable history dating back to the 1980s, founded by Bob Gjika. Gjika amplifiers have been used by notable artists such as Shaun Lane, and Bob Gjika's pioneering contributions to the boutique amplifier industry are widely acknowledged.

Deleting this article would not only erase a piece of this niche industry's history but also disrespect the significant contributions of Bob Gjika. The article is not a mere advertisement; it is a historical account of an important amplifier designer and builder, with its information supported by citations from reputable sources like Guitar Player Magazine and Premier Guitar. This article meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability and should be retained. Tubesfordays (talk) 22:18, 21 May 2025 (UTC) — Tubesfordays (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Unfortunately, according to Wikipedia's notability guidelines, a subject requires substantial coverage in reliable news sources to qualify. The fact that certain musicians have used it does not help eligibility. Since the company has been around for a long time, there may be older coverage available—if you can locate any, please feel free to share the details for review.

== Keep Gjika Amplification – Notability Justification ==

Bob Gjika and Gjika Amplification meet Wikipedia’s notability criteria through multiple independent, reliable sources and recognition by notable musicians.
=== References demonstrating notability and influence ===
- Dave Hunter, respected gear journalist, highlights Gjika in his "Boutique Amp Guide" on Reverb.com, noting work with Eric Johnson and Shawn Lane:
"Bob Gjika has worked with Eric Johnson, but might be best known for the scorching single-ended EL34-based amp that the late and largely underappreciated fusion virtuoso Shawn Lane used on his ''Powers Of Ten'' album."

- Shawn Lane praised the Gjika Gold amp in a 1992 ''Guitar Player'' magazine interview:
"It's class-A power, all-tube, and just one of the most amazing amplifiers I've ever heard. It has a harmonic richness that really responds to a certain kind of touch."
- Equipboard lists the Bob Gjika 10^n prototype in Shawn Lane’s rig:
"Shawn Lane used the Bob Gjika 10 n Prototype amplifier, a custom-built piece created specifically for him by Bob Gjika... now being recreated for public sale."

- Online Lead Guitar confirms Gjika’s role in Shawn Lane’s tone:
"Bob Gjika built Shawn an amp at some point and that was the amp that was used to record ''Powers of Ten'' in the studio... The amp that Bob built sounds much fuller and has much more saturation than the Westbury pedal."

- In a 1994 interview, Shawn Lane said:
"Then I also use a Bob Gjika amp. He’s from Austin, Texas and he makes really awesome tube amps. I’ve never heard anything like the sound his amplifiers get! It’s a pretty large amp, so I use that for a full-fledged tour or in the studio."

These independent, reliable sources establish Bob Gjika as a notable figure in boutique amplifier design, endorsed by respected musicians and featured in reputable gear media. This meets Wikipedia’s notability standards. Tubesfordays (talk) 01:26, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, it really doesn't, and you really do need to review those guidelines and learn about how things are done here (although it's obvious you're just on Wikipedia to defend the article). Namedrops don't satisfy the GNG. Wordpress blogs do not satisfy the GNG. Casual mentions do not satisfy the GNG. Ravenswing 08:04, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
::::Thank you for the feedback, @Ravenswing. I understand your concerns, and I agree that we should uphold Wikipedia’s notability standards. I’ve reviewed WP:GNG and WP:RS more closely, and I’d like to clarify a few points.

While it's true that namedrops or casual mentions don’t establish notability on their own, several of the sources cited go beyond that. For example:
The **Reverb.com article by Dave Hunter** (a respected gear journalist and author of *The Guitar Amp Handbook*) provides original commentary and context about Bob Gjika's influence, specifically highlighting the unique qualities of his designs and their impact on Shawn Lane’s *Powers of Ten*. Reverb is a commercial site but has published many pieces of original journalism and interviews by established authors. This piece arguably qualifies under WP:SOURCES and WP:AUTHOR.

**Guitar Player magazine (1992)** includes a direct quote from Shawn Lane giving a detailed endorsement of the Gjika amp. *Guitar Player* is a long-established publication and meets the reliable source criteria.

The **Premier Guitar video** is produced by a recognized publisher in the music industry and features a product demo at NAMM, the largest trade show for this domain. Appearance in that context shows recognition by a professional audience and not just casual mention.

I agree that some sources — such as Wordpress interviews — are weaker and should be used carefully or possibly not at all. But the presence of *multiple* independent, reliable sources (not tied to Gjika himself or his website) discussing his work with notable musicians like Shawn Lane and Salvadore Poe supports a case for notability under WP:GNG. Gjika has been referenced in multiple contexts over several decades, and the coverage is more than trivial.

That said, I’m happy to refine the article and remove or de-emphasize anything that leans too heavily on marginal sources. My intention is to improve the article to Wikipedia’s standards, not to circumvent them.

You're absolutely right that I haven’t been an active Wikipedia contributor before. I’m primarily an amp collector and enthusiast — my collection includes vintage Fenders, Gibsons, Silvertones, and contemporary boutique builders like Friedman, Bogner, Trainwreck, and Orange. That’s what brought me here: my appreciation for builders like Bob Gjika and my interest in preserving accurate, well-sourced documentation of their contributions to amplifier history.

I’ve enjoyed learning more about how the Wikipedia process works, and I’m planning to continue contributing in areas where I have subject-matter expertise, particularly in tube amp design and related gear history. I appreciate the discourse and the standards this community upholds — and I welcome any guidance on improving this article (or others) to meet them. Tubesfordays (talk) 18:12, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you making your case, but you seem to be trying to rationalize weak sourcing here. Wikipedia requires significant coverage from multiple reliable sources. People name-dropping Gjika is the literal opposite of that. The NAMM show video falls under trivial coverage per WP:CORPTRIV (trivial coverage includes coverage of "participation in industry events, such as trade fairs"). As I said in my nomination, the Reverb piece is something, but not by much, as it's basically a listicle by a source that exists to sell you products. It's not nearly enough to establish notability. Mbinebri (talk) 21:18, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

''Keep''' – I appreciate the detailed feedback and your perspective. I’m not trying to rationalize weak sourcing — I’m trying to present what exists in a niche space where even the most influential builders often fly under the radar of major publications.

The boutique amp world is a niche where much of the relevant documentation lives in trade-specific coverage, artist interviews, gear demos, and community-respected sources like Reverb. While I understand the concern about CORPTRIV and listicles, some of these sources (such as artist interviews and equipment rundowns) reflect real-world influence and are among the few available forms of recognition for builders who work closely with high-profile musicians.

As one example, the Reverb article was written by Dave Hunter — a respected journalist in the guitar world who has also written extensively for publications like ''Guitar Player'' and ''Vintage Guitar''. His work is regularly cited for guitar amplifier brands on Wikipedia. Reverb.com, while a commercial platform, also publishes professional editorial content and is arguably more widely read in the guitar community than some traditional niche magazines. Dismissing his article solely because it appeared on Reverb feels inconsistent with Wikipedia’s own precedent.

I do acknowledge that Gjika hasn’t been profiled in mainstream outlets like ''Rolling Stone'' or the ''New York Times'' — but then again, neither have many respected boutique amp makers whose work has shaped recorded music. If notability is to be measured only by traditional media coverage, many figures in specialized crafts will inevitably be excluded despite substantial impact in their field.

Regardless of the outcome, I’m grateful for the conversation. I’m also learning a lot about Wikipedia’s editorial standards, and I look forward to contributing more in areas I care about, such as tubes and amps. Tubesfordays (talk) 12:05, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No one is saying a company needs to be profiled in the New York Times to warrant an article here. Significant coverage in any reliable source(s) will do, but Gjika doesn't have it. Yes, it sucks that companies in niche markets don't get a lot of coverage—many companies far more famous than Gjika don't have Wikipedia articles for that reason—but that doesn't mean we should lower our standards or use Wikipedia as a platform to right the "wrong" of the media ignoring our favorite companies. Gear rundowns and interviews might establish notability for the players being talked to (and maybe not even), but that's trivial when it comes to the companies being mentioned.

Keep— many of the authors who have been published by Elixir Press continue to be active and are producing new works. Because of the nature of Elixir’s work as an independent press focused in part on debut authors, several authors may have been lesser known at the time of their publication, but have grown in notability.

Does not pass WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. Searching on gscholar, archive.org found virtually nothing except content about books they published, which they do not inherit the notability of. Even for a book publisher there are also not that many hits for their books, it is almost entirely citations to one book they published (which is notable), to an extent where I was able to look through the citations relatively completely. The 4th source is sigcov... but written by the founder of the company. The single piece of independent sigcov is the 5th source in this article, which is [58] this, which is fine.

Creator here. I've added three more independent sources, being a scholarly monograph, an art market paper and an obituary.

Of course I understand that the source base is small, but I wrote the article because I couldn't figure out what this press that had published several important writers was.

I don't dispute that you made this article for a good reason but the sources here do not pass WP:SIRS (required for organization articles). Notability isn't inherited from the books they publish.

That source is fine. Now we have the two sources about the company, but this is still not enough for WP:NCORP per WP:MULTSOURCES. The rest are one or two sentence mentions, which do not count for notability. The rest of the English sources are passing, and the Chinese source mentions them for a single sentence ( non WP:SIRS coverage). PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:50, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To be factual, besides the sources you don't dispute (Galik; Taylor), Brennan is by the narrowest definition four sentences and Bruno three (or four if you also include p. 121). The Chinese source mentions them not, as you write, for a single sentence, but two (it doesn't permit copy-pasting, but the section begins with 其中 and goes to footnote 6). In all of these cases the surrounding text also bears on the situation of WP in the translation and publishing environment of the day. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 21:36, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Only sentence in the Chinese source that refers to them: "其中A.R.戴维斯的“杜甫雨诗赏析”是我读到的最好最真切的唐诗英译! 80年代初悉尼大学的Mabel Lee(陈顺妍)博士还创立了野牡丹出版社，出版了大量优秀的亚洲文学翻译作品以及早期移民的英文作品比如来自广东的Stanley Hunt先生写的《从石岐到悉尼》" [

[One of the best and most authentic English translations of Tang poems I have ever read is A.R. Davies' “An Appreciation of Du Fu's Rain Poems”! In the early 80's, Dr. Mabel Lee (Chen Shunyan) from the University of Sydney also founded the Wild Peony Press, which published a large number of excellent translations of Asian literature, as well as early immigrants' works in English, such as “From Shiqi to Sydney” written by Mr. Stanley Hunt from Guangdong.] the footnote is a citation and does not contain more sentences. The next sentence does not mention them, only Lee. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:17, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Using text on the "surrounding situation" would be WP:SYNTH.

And sentences about Lee that do not mention Peony do not count for information on the publisher. And three sentences in a single short paragraph is also not WP:SIRS ... I can't access anything in Southerly but I would be surprised if the quality of coverage was any different. Most of these sources are really about Lee. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:26, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about the Chinese source; I misread, apologies. As for Southerly, it isn't fair to make assumptions if you haven't read it. From p. 215 of the Southerly article:

"Considering the decline in foreign language education over the last ten years — especially those languages key to our region such as Bahasa Indonesia, Mandarin and Japanese — it might be said, in Howardspeak, monolingualism is all about a fair go. This is a sad possibility for the broader Australian community, which is in actu - ality richly polyglot. Thankfully, Mabel Lee’s and A. D. Syrokomia- Stefanowska’s work with Wild Peony has been a particular boon, bringing in work that may not have otherwise appeared, and is part of a larger, albeit under-sup ported, effort on the part of Australian translators, native-speaking collabor tors and publishers to offer foreign language literature to an Australian audience. Mabel Lee’s translations of Nobel Prize winner Gao Xingjian and Yang Lian, Simon Patton’s translations, editing and collaboration through the Chinese pages of Poetry International Web, Ouyang Yu’s work with Otherland, Peter Boyle’s translations from Spanish and French, and Leith Morton’s translations of Shuntaro Tanikawa, Ishigaki Rin, and Koike Masayo, along with various Australian literary journals (notably Heat and Southerly), and Melbourne University’s Asialink Program are some of the key recent examples of Australian translators and pub - lishers working against the abashed and embarrassed tide of Australian monolingualism. The publication of collections such as Naikan Tao and Tony Prince’s Eight Contemporary Chinese Poets, and the work of small publishers such as Wild Peony Press, are an important move against cultural parochialism. Sadly, Tao’s and Prince’s anthol - ogy represents one of the last publications for Wild Peony. It is difficult not to think, the Australian literary community might be well served supplementing the proliferation of annual Best of Australian Poetry anthologies with a Best of World Poetry or a Best of Poetry in Translation. Going by Tao’s and Prince’s Eight Contemporary Chinese Poets, the benefits would be considerable." When I say "surrounding situation" I just mean that Michael Brennan (poet) is here substantially talking about the role of Wild Peony (among other publishers) in Australian letters, even when he does not write "Wild Peony" in every sentence.WP:SYNTH does not apply and it is not all about Mabel Lee. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 00:22, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is about what I expected from that. I think I've said enough words so I am going to let other people comment on if this coverage is WP:SIRS compliant. Nevertheless, thank you very much for the quote. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:40, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Chester Telephone Company was started in 1897 as privately-owned independent telephone company to serve the small rural town of Chester, South Carolina. In the 1980s, it was one of the investors in a successful regional fiber network, PalmettoNet,^[59] that sold broadband capacity and dark fiber to large long distance telecoms and big corporate users. It also began acquiring small cable TV systems and now says it serves about 60,000 customers.^[60] Over the years, Chester Telephone, then TruVista got industry coverage for deploying new (at the time) technologies.^[61] TruVista was purchased by a big private equity firm, iCON Infrastructure, in 2019 and operates autonomously. ^[62] I personally think we should have an article about this company since it's part of the history of rural telecommunications. I know it would meet WP:GNG. However, companies have to meet Wikipedia's much more restrictive WP:NCORP guideline which effectively disqualifies most otherwise reliable press coverage (including major events such as "the expansions, acquisitions, mergers, sale, or closure of the business") from notability consideration. --A.

If you have the sources that meet WP:ORGCRIT (regardless of what name it was at the time), then it would meet NCORP.

Comment It appears that the nominator may have been influenced more by a perceived conflict of interest (COI) issue than by the actual question of notability. The company in question was founded by Mikael Kubista, and similar patterns have occurred before. For example, on Mikael Kubista's own Wikipedia page, there was repeated removal of content related to a legal dispute involving TATAA Biocenter by SPA @ArtChomsky which was settled by an admin and the argument to remove a fact related TATAA there was irrational. A similar issue seems to be happening here—there appears to be an effort, possibly coordinated behind the scenes, to suppress certain information by removing pages from Wikipedia. This raises concerns about the integrity of the platform’s commitment to neutrality and transparency.

I urge editors to review this situation carefully, with special attention to the quality and relevance of the sources cited, to ensure that content is evaluated fairly and not unduly influenced by COI concerns or efforts to obscure verifiable information.ManIxal (talk) 06:32, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mrmctorso (talk) 19:43, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The issue with that is that there is no additional coverage. This would fall under WP:OVERCOME. If the sources existed, I would gladly clean up per WP:HEY. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:48, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fintilect

Non-notable software company. Routine coverage like M&As, renaming, investments, are not enough to pass WP:CORPDEPTH. UPE history is another issue. Gheus (talk) 09:52, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep after article rescue work (again). Any recent UPE work (if that's what it was) had already been reverted by the nominator. Restore former material of historical interest, e.g. OS/2 software as highlighted in the previous AFD. – Fayenatic London 13:39, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I haven't found anything outside of primary sources and routine business announcements. Many sources are "fintech" focused and I tend to view such sources with the same skepticism as crypto focused sites. I haven't found much in the way of notability for the previous iterations of the company either. The sources on the historic article don't seem to meet reliability or notability requirements either. The old page seems like a relic of a more lenient era of wikipedia. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 21:59, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Car manufacturing company that fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Half of the sources cited in this article come from company's own website, while others are very short mentions. WhoIsCentreLeft (talk) 16:27, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm not fully decided on the !vote, but there's quite some coverage in independent sources, especially about production issues, worker strikes, and a major acquisition operation [78][79][80][81][82][83]. Also covered in in a book about the Panama Papers [84] but I have not accessed it so not sure the extent of it. MarioGom (talk) 17:39, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It's a minor car seller in Venezuela, but still significant, representing all Hyundai sells. The article needs a lot of work and has mostly primary sources. However, there are many sources showing enough coverage. — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 14:39, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not seeing this as WP:NCORP. It is a manufacturer of multiple models, but what is it notable for? Many manufacturers of cars and car parts do not get their own article. Ramos1990 (talk) 04:53, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep passes WP:N and WP:V. It has reliable coverage as well. [85][86][87][88][89] There are many more secondary, passing mentions of the subject and other sources available.

Delete. The sources provided by @HilssaMansen19 are, in order: (1) a transcript of a very promotional-sounding local radio piece (2) the home page of Business Wire, an outlet that disseminates press releases (3) a local news "article" that includes lines like "Join their Loyalty program", "Check out Tank up Tuesday" and "For more information check them out online on their website or Instagram" (4) a press release and (5) a press release. None of those sources contribute towards notability. The two Deseret News sources that are cited in the article are better, but this one relies very heavily on quotes from the owners and therefore fails WP:ORGIND, and this one is a routine local story about some online complaints that fails WP:CORPDEPTH. I didn't find anything else that could contribute towards WP:NCORP. MCE89 (talk) 15:42, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your analysis seems to be right but there are many more mentions in many newspapers and others. What do you say about redirect to List of gas station chains in North America per WP:ATP. I have added it's name there. It has 75 outlets and maybe we can have more content to expand later. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 17:32, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per above analysis, I am cancelling my vote for keep and redirect with merge or keep it for now per WP:ATP to List of gas station chains in North America. I will try to search for some sources and may be if it is notable in future, it can be added. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 17:32, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think List of gas station chains in North America is a suitable redirect target, as its inclusion criteria appears to only include entries that are notable in their own right. MCE89 (talk) 14:20, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
