Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Companies
![]() | Points of interest related to Companies on Wikipedia: Portal – Category – WikiProject – Alerts – Deletions – Assessment – To-do |
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.

Don't see how this company passes WP:NCORP. The sources are all WP:ORGTRIV, articles about its founder but not WP:SIGCOV of the company, WP:TRADES publications, WP:PRIMARYSOURCEs, and that's also what I find in my WP:BEFORE search.

- Keep: Appreciate all the review work that happens around here. Putting my vote in to rather retain the article and improve it by adding more sources and info. I think by nature of this being a major arm of one of South Africa's largest companies by revenue, and the largest property site in Southern Africa, it passes the muster of WP:NORG. Happy to contribute to the article's growth myself, as I'm sure other Wikipedians will over time. Thanks all!

- Delete No sources cited in the article, full of hyperbolic puffery...one of the most clear-cut cases of WP:PROMO I've seen in a while. But as for sources, all I could find were this piece [1] and this one [2], both of which look like lightly-edited PR releases to me. Thus the article fails WP:NCORP.

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.

- Delete, non-notable corp. As the nominator mentioned, I can't find coverage of the organization that meets SIRS of the company. Despite the length of blue-linked films in the article, there are no provisions for NFILM companies that allow for heritability (WP:NOTINHERITED) of the products or productions of a film company that meet notability.

The holding company is not-notable and fails WP:NCORP. The article is primarily content about the San Antonio Spurs, not the holding company, then a WP:SYNTHed-together reporting of the holding company's portfolio. Longhornsg (talk) 17:18, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Business, Sports, Basketball, and Texas. Longhornsg (talk) 17:18, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- 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)
- Hits yes, but it's WP:ROUTINE coverage, which is what I found in my before. Are the cites in the books WP:SIGCOV of SS&E specifically? Longhornsg (talk) 18:24, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- 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.

- Delete, note that I've removed the obvious fake/sponsored/paid media. Using this to support puffery is pretty deceptive. I was not able to find anything other than paid media, social media posts and PR. There's also a UPDE problem that needs to be resolved; I've left a note on the author's talk page. Sam Kuru (talk) 22:48, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your input, Sam. I understand the concerns regarding the reliance on non-independent sources, and I agree that Wikipedia content must be verifiable and supported by reliable, third-party references. I appreciate you flagging the UPDE issue and notifying the original contributor.
- In response to the notability concerns, here are a few points that may support the inclusion of BFC Publications on Wikipedia:
- Contribution to Emerging Authors: BFC Publications has established itself as a platform for debut and regional authors, many of whom have gone on to win literary awards or gain mainstream recognition. This makes it notable within the self-publishing and independent publishing ecosystem in India.
- National Media Mentions: While some sources may be promotional, there are a few national-level media mentions (e.g., in The Hindu, Business Standard, or Times of India) that reference BFC Publications in the context of trends in the publishing industry. These mentions suggest broader industry relevance.
- Participation in National Literary Events: BFC Publications has been featured or invited to participate in notable literary festivals such as the Delhi Book Fair, Nainital Literature Festival, and Lock the Box, which adds to its notability in the public domain.
- Author Roster & Published Works: The company has published over [insert number] books, including bestsellers in regional and genre-specific markets (e.g., Hindi fiction, self-help). Some of these titles have garnered significant attention or reviews from independent platforms.
- Academic & Library Listings: Several books published by BFC Publications are cataloged in major library databases (e.g., WorldCat, national libraries), which suggests a level of recognition beyond pure PR.
- Industry Innovation: BFC is among the few Indian self-publishing companies offering end-to-end services including book trailers, Amazon ranking support, and distribution in both domestic and international markets, which has been cited as a case study in some media/industry blogs. Niteshrai7777 (talk) 05:00, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- Just to be very clear; the "original contributor" notified of undisclosed paid editing concerns is you. Please do not edit further until you have made the proper disclosures on you talk page or here. You are currently violating our terms of service. I'm not even going to respond to the rest of this canned LLM/AI marketing gibberish (tip: when the model spits out '[insert number] books', it wants you to insert the number so it looks organic). Sam Kuru (talk) 11:03, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Repost of content previously deleted and salted at Spinny. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:39, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
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.

- [41] – 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.
- [42] – This is from India Today, which is both reliable and independent.
- [43] – An exclusive from Forbes India should count as independent and non-trivial coverage.
- [44] – This is another solid source from Deccan Chronicle that adds to the overall picture. Afstromen (talk) 19:11, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

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 ([51]), as does the WSJ one[52], 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):

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."

- 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.
- It fails to meet the criteria at WP:GNG and WP:CORP. Recommend deletion. GlenluceRoadLoser (talk) 22:14, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Agree that to focus on the possible deletion of an article on an independent press is particularly troubling when literature and the arts are being devalued at large. 64.135.133.153 (talk) 22:59, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- The Press itself isn't going away, nor are the authors or published works. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of notable topics as established by reliable sources, which this article has always lacked going back for eight years now. If the argument is that it enhances this specific press or helps them maintain visibility, that is directly contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:53, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Agree--it is troubling given premier role this press plays and context: current state of the arts/Wikipedia's purpose/the need for public support of poetry even if things were glorious. It is one of a few presses that new poets DREAM their work will be published by. People in the poetry world look to it too, to identify and read up and coming writers. And they make beautiful books also an endangered art. KEEP! 2601:19B:4102:1370:7097:75E6:4823:96F8 (talk) 15:05, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

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 [65] this, which is fine. But that is only 1 source. Not enough for GNG or the higher NCORP. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:41, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Sheijiashaojun (talk) 06:48, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- The monograph has a paragraph, the obituary has 1 mention. The other source has 3 sentences. Not horrible, but not enough to pass WP:NCORP.

- : Have added another source in Chinese. 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. Having figured out via research what it was, it seems to me very much the point of Wikipedia editing to provide that information for others. I can guarantee that it is notable for people working on translation studies in Australia, which I grant you is a small group, but we exist. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 07:51, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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:
- 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).

"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.

- 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,[66] 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.[67] Over the years, Chester Telephone, then TruVista got industry coverage for deploying new (at the time) technologies.[68] TruVista was purchased by a big private equity firm, iCON Infrastructure, in 2019 and operates autonomously. [69] 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. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 01:17, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- If you have the sources that meet WP:ORGCRIT (regardless of what name it was at the time), then it would meet NCORP.

- Delete Sourcing is not particualrly strong. Notability is not clear. Does not seem to meet WP:NCORP. Ramos1990 (talk) 22:36, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment leaning keep - article definitely has an excessive detail problem, but they received some non-routine seeming coverage for their COVID-19 testing program (added 2 sources to article, although one isn't accessible w/o pressreader). Zzz plant (talk) 01:32, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
- 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)

- 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 [85][86][87][88][89][90]. Also covered in in a book about the Panama Papers [91] but I have not accessed it so not sure the extent of it. MarioGom (talk) 17:39, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

- 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)
- 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)
