Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Companies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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:
  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|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.

I shall not claim certainty, but this page seems to have low-level signs of AI-generation, and was previously deleted via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ragic, and people may disagree with this but I feel there is reason to believe that the references contain nonsensical sources, not really fake but don't relate to the article in any way.

This was recently restored by an admin after a soft deletion at the previous AFD. Immediately afterwards it was again tagged as G4, but that was declined since the process delete was soft. A few minutes later A7 and G11 tags were applied, and I deleted based on those. Since the page creator has contacted the last tagger about restoration, I've done so, but am now calling this second AFD. This is NOT a procedural nomination; IMHO the page doesn't tell us anything significant about the company except it's selling phones. BusterD (talk) 09:43, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello @BusterD, please tell me what I need to do. I'm not trying to cause any trouble. I can remove those tags. Garyplso (talk) 13:16, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure I can provide an answer for your question which will please you. Page creators are up against several guardrails the community has established in order to prevent utter chaos. Our five pillars set forth an expectation 1P) we are an encyclopedia, not a routine listing of electronics sellers, 2P) in our articles we take a neutral point of view, so we're not here to improve electronics sales, 3P) Wikipedia articles are free content, so anyone can write them, so anyone can change them later, 4P) wikipedians treat each other with respect and civility, even when rules are broken, and 5P) we have no set rules, but as a community we establish polices and guidelines to keep our project moving forward. In the case of article space we require a subject establish WP:Notability and WP:Verifiablity policies through demonstration of multiple reliable, indepth sources independent of (and directly detail) the subject. In the case of articles about companies, we have additional organization and company guidelines which prevent Wikipedia from becoming Yelp or LinkedIn. So the bar is high for such companies. IMHO, too high for the subject under discussion. This somewhat-adversarial articles for deletion discussion is where the pagecreator and supporters can provide evidence of the available sources. Often a paid- or otherwise connected author has access to a company clipping file, or is aware of sources which would qualify. Good luck. BusterD (talk) 14:07, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete the products might be notable, but the company isn't. There's probably enough WP:PRODUCTREV for a "reception" section to be filled out, at which point the article becomes encyclopedic. tech radar, PCMag, Digital trends (that one gives a 504 for me but it looks like it at least was significant coverage), a little bit at verge (not significant coverage though), tech radar again, PCMag again, Tom's guide. None of the current sources contribute anything, except maybe this, which might or might not be reliable (I haven't really investigated it). However, all the reliable sources I found are reviewing the company's products rather than the company itself, so this article fails WP:INHERITORG. I'm not sure whether Tracxn or pitchbook are reliable but they seem to fall under WP:CORPTRIV. TL;DR: notability is not inherited from the company's products. lp0 on fire () 14:33, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Lp0 on fire Thanks for your insights. Rather than focusing on the products, will just focus on the company itself. Thanks for your suggestion about pitchbook. Garyplso (talk) 15:46, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm dubious about the notability of the products, which would otherwise rise to a CCS for the company (i.e. in general, using the rule of thumb N -> CCS and CCS -> nothing for entities one step removed, the information on the products is not sufficient to avert an A7). In my opinion, the coverage shown in this discussion and the previous iteration of the article demonstrate only CCS for the products, and not notability. I am thus inclined to endorse the deletion of the article via our CSD rather than a full AFD. Alpha3031 (tc) 08:16, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This company probably has *some* degree of notability, although I will see what other editors have to say. It is mainly an online entity that simply puts its branding on OEM parts, and the article reads very much like an advert. I just don't think it warrants its own article in its current state.

I found nothing in a search of sources (archive.org, google books, proquest, google) except for 1 or 2 company listings (which is very few). The first book used as a source does not actually mention the company, as far as I can tell (nothing in a text search or their indexes). The second source I could not check but given it was added by the person who added the first one I doubt it does either (and seems to predate the company?). Does not pass GNG or NCORP.

  • Delete. I found an obviously non-RS youtube video that describes Miniboox as a modern spinoff of Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig, and claims that the family has been making books since the late 19thC. Searching that company name on archive.org, I find non-sigcov directory listings as far back as 1993. However, I don't find Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig in the 4,000 Years of Tiny Treasures. In ProQuest, I found a non-WP:NORG-qualifying one-sentence mention of Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig's Moby Dick. Maybe if I could figure out how to spell the family name mentioned in that YouTube video, there'd be lots of thrilling 20thC coverage of this family business under yet another former name, but I can't find anything useful for either Miniboox or Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:33, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Checked Google Scholar too in case they were showing up in articles on miniature books -- nada, just two citations to individual Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig editions with no mention of the publisher in the prose at all. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:38, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I did include several non press release sources related to this company and also the press gazette official ranking of the news site it owns. @Wikishovel: — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schumi19799 (talkcontribs)

I have clarified their ownership of the racing site now and added some more sources. this is only the second page ive made so im not entirely sure about the threshold... feedback is appreciated.
Those are all the sources I'm able to find so I wont be making more edits. Schumi19799 (talk) 06:57, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As before, I've removed advertorials, blogs, and PR/SEO. None of those even make the claim that they "own" the other site, just that it's an advertising partner. I assume the same "entrepreneur" owns both, but that's not supported or material to this discussion. Please stop adding SEO sources - that's not helping.

@Kuru Schumi19799 (talk) 13:58, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's okay just to keep the conversation here, no need to post to my talk page. You're responded to the COI request that you have no connections to this small SEO/PR firm, which is presumably just a small number of people. Totally not you or your employer, for sure. Got it.
  • While The Khaleej Times is generally a fine source, the "KT Network" section of the site is paid placement without editorial controls (typically blackhat SEO and press releases).
  • iBusinessnews is a junk news-skinned SEO blog. The address is a "virtual office" and there are ads on the site for paid placement. Authors are just one or two bloggers, and most of it is LLM-generated. This is not in any way a RS.
  • Bitzuma is a disclaimed cryptoblog, we don't use those even for crypto-related concerns and certainly not to pretend they support PR/SEO startup notability
  • LinkedIn is just user-generated material with no editorial control. This one even links back to the KT material, which is just PR
I've also removed some sketchy material that seems to have nothing to do with the primary topic. Maybe the person that runs "Imperium Comms" also runs a random F1 fan site, but that's not clear from the source, nor does it impart any notability on the company. What you're left with is nothing but primary sources (links to the company and a user-generated bio for the owner). None of this meets WP:NCORP. Sam Kuru (talk) 03:17, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But if it's a PR does it even matter as long as it's confirming something in a reputable source? asking for future reference if i decide to make more pages, though it doesnt really seem worth the effort haha.
the source did say they own the site directly... it's not a "fan site", it's one of the largest f1 news sites globally and top 20 sports news in the UK... i did provide a press gazette source for this which I dont understand how you can call it sketchy when it's the most trusted source for reporting on the media industry.
just trying to get an understanding for future... strangely my first page creation went fine even though i only did 10 minutes research and provided just 2 sources.
is there anyway to propose a topic and get other wiki users thoughts before creating? Schumi19799 (talk) 08:02, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
for instance, can i make a page about Edelman or does that lack notability? Schumi19799 (talk) 08:08, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Press releases, advertorials, "guest posts", contributor blog posts on news sites are outside of the editorial controls and fact checking for publishers. They are not reliable sources for anything other than "the company said" claims, and often not even that. They are not independent and useless for determining notability, which is a significant hurdle for this company. No one cares about your F1 site.Sam Kuru (talk) 11:56, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a place to ask for editors feedback to check if a page can be suitable? or better yet, is there a place on wikipedia where editors have proposed pages that should be created??
I want to give making a page another crack but think it's best to do it for a topic thats already highlighted for creation by an editor so I know my hard work wont be for nothing. Schumi19799 (talk) 12:21, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Schumi19799. The best way to get editor feedback on a topic is to create the article in draft, as you did at Draft:Planet F1. That saves everyone time and effort. Wikishovel (talk) 12:27, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much I will have a look and find another topic. I wish other editors here were as helpful as you.... seems some of them think spending so many hours here and doing nothing else in life gives them a right to be condescending to newbies Schumi19799 (talk) 12:30, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You're very welcome. I hope you stay on, and keep contributing. And I hope I'm never condescending to new editors, intentionally or otherwise. Have you seen Wikipedia:Requested articles yet?

I’m nominating this article because the available sources don’t seem to show lasting notability. Most coverage is launch-focused and centered on the founders, with little independent reporting on the clinic’s actual operations, impact, or its closure. Since the clinic has already shut down and there isn’t substantial in-depth coverage, it appears to fall short of the notability guidelines.

Non-notable cafe chain. The article was created by a SPA and later expanded by another SPA, which indicates possible UPE & COI. The subject clearly fails WP:CORP & WP:ORG notability guidelines.

The cited sources consist largely of routine coverage, primary interviews, promotional pieces, and non-independent features that do not provide the significant, in-depth coverage required for notability. There is no sustained analysis of the company’s impact, controversy, or influence within third-party reliable media. Zuck28 (talk) 18:51, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this single-city radio station group meets WP:CORP, though the individual stations are notable. Worth noting: I actually expected an article on another Zimmer Radio. This company is an offshoot of a different, family-related company which owns stations in other Missouri markets (principally Columbia and Springfield; they were founded in Cape Girardeau) and is historically larger than the Joplin Zimmer group. There may be enough coverage for it, given that it existed for a longer period of time, but I am not sure. There is also an important court decision this year in a case titled Zimmer Radio of Mid-Missouri, which again is not the Joplin group. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 08:53, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I recommend keeping the article but rewriting it in a neutral tone, adding more independent sources, and clearly distinguishing this Joplin group from other Zimmer Radio entities. If stronger independent coverage for the group as a whole cannot be found, consider merging verifiable material into articles for the individual stations or the parent company.

Seems like another non-WP:NCORP, WP:CORPTRIV-sourced company article; on top of that it's written like a product summary/advertisement. The only thing I could see that possibly evidences notability here is the lawsuit, but there doesn't seem to be enough SIGCOV to create an article. A GNews search turns up a lot of predictable passing/CORPTRIV stuff, and a GScholar search turns up some passing mentions in papers about FSBO sales in general, but not any sigcov about this site itself.

I don't believe that the references here assert notability under WP:NPRODUCT -- I previously draftified it, but it was moved back to mainspace without being accepted at AfC. The brand owner does not have an article to redirect this to, either. MediaKyle (talk) 20:15, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Eska has independent, reliable coverage about its operations and ownership, which meets WP:NPRODUCT. Countless bottled-water brands (example being Poland Spring) with similar sourcing have standalone pages. I can expand the article with stronger references if needed.

Fails WP:NCORP. Originally moved back to draft due to the large WP:LLM content. I removed most of the content for being unsourced and/or promotional once it was moved back to mainspace. Sources are mainly brief mentions or routine coverage that does not meet WP:ORGCRIT. There are a few in-depth sources that cover a recent fraud that took place but not sure that would rise to making this notable. CNMall41 (talk) 16:48, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as WP:SYNTH. Whilst it is true that there will obviously be a name for the publicly-owned service/franchise and a company has been registered in this name with an address in a government office, it's also true that the company is dormant and hasn't done anything since it was registered in 2020. It's a natural assumption that this is the company that will be used, but it's a logical leap and a guess given no announcement has been made. We don't do that. Wait until they've announced it and it's been reported in RS then we can have a page. Anything else about the future services can be added to other pages, it's not for us to put the carriage before the train, as it were. JMWt (talk) 04:06, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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

Jasuben Pizza appears to be a small local business whose coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources is limited and not sustained over time. Most coverage dates back to a handful of news articles around 2013, and there is no recent independent reporting or in-depth analysis to demonstrate broader significance or enduring notability. Some claims in the article are unverified or anecdotal. Under Wikipedia’s notability policies for organizations/businesses, the topic does not convincingly meet the threshold for a standalone article; therefore it should be proposed for deletion. OrigamiSoft (talk) 16:37, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An AfD resulting in Keep does not mean that the topic is forever notable per NOTTEMPORARY. You will need to read the entire guideline. WP:SUSTAINED addresses NOTTEMPORARY and says, "Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability." Brief bursts of news in 2013 is all that we have outside of a few mentions over the last 12 years. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:04, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - We have significant coverage from:
  • BBC: "Oreo fritters to teacup pizza: Indian street food gets trendy". BBC Home. 2023-12-03.

All of this coverage comes well after massive coverage in 2013. Subject totally meets WP:GNG. Koshuri (あ!) 11:28, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You list one of the books (which is a short section and doesn't meet WP:CORPDEPTH) twice by the way. The BBC is a single mention, The Beter India is unreliable, and the other is about the founder. Which of these exactly meets WP:ORGCRIT? --CNMall41 (talk) 21:04, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Better India is not unreliable. The cited books are also good enough for establishing GNG. At this stage, you are only engaging in nitpicking. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 10:29, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Having a Wikipedia page does not make a source reliable. Even Daily Mail has a Wikipedia page. There is no editorial oversight listed on this publication, the writer of that article has no information in their byline to indicate they are real or what their expertise is, and the terms of use clearly state, The Platform is a content distribution, marketing and advertising platform which allows you to read and view stories, articles, images, etc." I think the TOU disclosure they make says it all. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:41, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NCORP. Cited sources are either promotional/unreliable or briefly discuss this obscure interior design firm. Gheus (talk) 10:03, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Over a number of years these projects have been written up in independent design and property publications as full project features, not just brief mentions. For this type of practice, coverage of built work is often the main way independent sources address the subject. I have added a couple of additional independent sources to the article to reflect this more clearly.
When I created the article I based my judgement on wiki policy that this kind of firm is less likely to receive sustained general coverage and more likely to be known through notable projects, in the same way that law firms may be covered through significant cases or academics through their h index and peer reviewed work. I still think this is the situation here, and I first learned about the company while reading about a historic renovation project that caught my attention. I also think there are a few good articles about the company that provide significant coverage. I have shared my view and I am happy to leave the final decision to other editors.

This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the sources in the article meet the criteria. I ask if people disagree, please point to specific content (e.g. the paragraph starting with the word ...) or pages where you believe there is in-depth indepdent *content* about the *company*.

      The abstract notes: "Thunderobot, an SME specializing in gaming laptops, incubated in the Intelligent Interconnection Platform of Haier Group in 2014, has ranked no. 1 in the domestic market and in the top 5 in the world. Listed on National Equities Exchange and Quotations of China in September 2017, Thunderobot has been the first listed company in the game industry. Focusing in designing and marketing for gaming laptops and computer and peripheral devices, Thunderobot began its ecological layout just less than one year after its establishment. From hardware to software and then cultural creative industry, Thunderobot’s landscape is expanding. Now, Thunderobot does not fight on its own; six subsidiaries have been emerging gradually, making the Thunderobot fleet stronger. Until October 2017, Thunderobot’s ecological revenue has reached RMB 180,000,000 per month, taking 15–20% of the total. Thunderobot begins to harvest from its ecosystem. But some questions remain to be answered: How to maintain a virtuous cycle of the whole ecosystem? How can the ecosystem survive forever?"

      The article notes: "Qingdao Thunderobot Technology Co., Ltd. (Thunderobot) serves as a typical case for this configuration. As a high-performance specialized computer hardware equipment provider, Thunderobot’s products are primarily used in scenarios such as e-sports, video creation, creative design and digital office environments. Thunderobot has rapidly established its own supply chain and sales channels by deeply embedding itself within the parent network and leveraging the resources and strengths of its parent company, Haier Group. For instance, Haier’s cooperation with world-class computer original design manufacturers, such as Quanta and BlueSky, has enabled Thunderobot, as a small-scale startup, to establish direct collaborative links with these major manufacturers through Haier’s network. Simultaneously, relying on Haier’s strong resource endorsement, Thunderobot has efficiently developed independent networks by leveraging the paths provided by venture capital firms such as Zihui Ventures and SAIF Partners. It has established stable alliance relationships with companies like Tongfang Information and Compal Electronics and has built a professional gaming platform called “Shenyou Network,” thereby constructing an independent value network centered on itself. Additionally, Thunderobot has adopted exploratory strategies, continuously innovating its products and upgrading its technologies. By delving into the gaming laptop market and building an e-sports ecosystem, the company has achieved sustained business growth and high entrepreneurial performance."

      The abstract notes: "基于理论抽样,以海尔集团孵化雷神公司为典型案例,运用扎根理论方法进行探索性挖掘,提炼出母体企业孵化、研发团队组建、商业模式形成、裂变动机产生和新创企业生成5个主范畴,在此基础上构建出涵盖以上5个要素的孵化型裂变创业理论模型,并从母体企业作用、新创业务影响、创业驱动因素等方面进一步识别了孵化型裂变创业的主要特征。"

      From Google Translate: "Based on theoretical sampling, taking Haier Group's incubation of Thunderobot as a typical case, this study uses grounded theory to conduct exploratory research and extracts five main categories: parent company incubation, R&D team building, business model formation, fission motivation generation, and new enterprise generation. On this basis, an incubation-based fission entrepreneurship theoretical model covering the above five elements is constructed. Furthermore, the main characteristics of incubation-based fission entrepreneurship are identified from aspects such as the role of the parent company, the impact of new businesses, and entrepreneurial driving factors."

      The book notes: "“雷神”是海尔内部孵化的典型代表,在海尔工作的三个“80后”发现游戏本领域的用户痛点并创业成立雷神公司,海尔双创平台对雷神公司提供了全流程全方位的投资孵化以及相关配套服务。该公司只用了半年时间产出第一款产品,创业第二年销售额就超过2亿元,创业第三年成功挂牌新三板,创造了“雷神”速度。二是脱离母体孵化模式。"

      From Google Translate: ""Thunderobot" is a typical example of a company incubated within Haier. Three post-80s employees working at Haier identified user pain points in the gaming sector and founded Thunderobot. Haier's innovation and entrepreneurship platform provided Thunderobot with comprehensive investment incubation and related support services throughout the entire process. The company produced its first product in just six months, achieved sales exceeding 200 million yuan in its second year, and successfully listed on the New Third Board in its third year, creating the "Thunderobot speed." Secondly, it broke away from the parent company's incubation model."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Thunderobot (Chinese: 雷神公司) to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

    I disagree that these academic sources are sufficient for NCORP. But they show a relation to Haier, which may be worth mentioning somewhere. IgelRM (talk) 17:38, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:CORPDEPTH with sources amounting to minor announcements. Japanese article not any better. There are some sources found on the talk page but all from a single publication and don't seem particularly significant.

No indication of notability or reception at all (WP:NLIST). A decent amount of these (not 100% sure about all of them) are WP:PROMO. Gommeh 📖   🎮 16:07, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What does WP:NOTPLOT have to do with a list of companies? That policy applies to articles on books, films, television shows, etc. Totally not relevant to this page. And many editors have contributed to this article in the ten years since Mckburton created the article, so that isn't relevant either. This isn't a valid deletion argument.4meter4 (talk) 20:47, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sources are all primary, or press releases. A Google search turns up nothing better. Just a big list of companies who happened to sign some agreement; many of the listed companies are not notable themselves. MediaKyle (talk) 18:31, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I nominate Foodstirs for deletion. The article likely fails WP:GNG and does not demonstrate lasting WP:SUSTAINED notability as it lacks significant coverage in independent, reliable sources and exists mainly due to celebrity association rather than the company’s independent significance. Likely also fall under WP:COI concerns due to founder publicity.SanneMonte (talk) 09:35, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What do you mean when referencing Conflict of Interest "due to founder publicity"? Are you suggesting Sarah Michelle Gellar is spending time editing a Wikipedia page about a now-defunct food brand?
A better argument would be that almost all of the sources dsicuss SMG rather than the company explicitly, but that argument has not been made so I won't yet vote. aesurias (talk) 22:17, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Cannot determine whether the company still exists. Link on the article was to a gambling (scam?) site so I updated to one of the pages that still seems to exist for the foodstirs company. I cannot tell if their products are still on sale or not or if the company actually shuttered in 2021 as stated in the article. Products are still listed on instacart but no other "reliable" places to order products (?). The only "in-depth" article I can find about their products is from slate, but it reads more like a blog and I'm not sure it should count toward notability for a company/product [27]. Other coverage is routine WP:NCORP coverage that doesn't establish notability (funding, uncritical coverage of product launches). Most articles lead with comments about Sarah Michelle Gellar as well, and the company seems to be receiving coverage mainly for that association as noted above.
