Article likely fails WP:ORG, and was created originally by an author affiliated with said company. Not enough secondary sources either. --Z L Media 22:34, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Do note that even though the page was created by someone affiliated with the company, that is not inherently grounds for deletion. This editor declared his WP:COI, and per Xtools only has 18% authorship of the page. Curbon7 (talk) 05:42, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak keep~~ The Orlando Sentinel piece is surprisingly in-depth about the company. Mlb96 (talk) 22:53, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Didn't realize that WP:NORG specifically requires multiple sources, so I'm striking my !vote. Mlb96 (talk) 22:56, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Decided to see if there are any in-depth sources:

Florida Trend article about its history and doesn't seem like a press release – The Grid (talk) 12:49, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I found coverage in news: WFLA, WJXT, Tampa Bay Times, The Capital and Miami Herald. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apopolips (talk • contribs) 22:12, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Other than the first citation about the owner dying, the rest are just "opening a new store" or "starting alcohol delivery". Which are really just press releases. Nothing of note about the company itself. Oaktree b (talk) 15:58, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Although both the Florida Trend article and the Orlando Sentinel article appear to be puff pieces, it isn't a clear and certain fact and it could be argued that the text contains enough "fact checking" and "opinion" to meet WP:ORGIND so giving the benefit of the doubt coupled with the age and size of this company, I'd say it is notable and meets WP:NCORP.

Keep While the Florida Trend article feels a tad promotional, it is in-depth and appears to be independent (has an author listed, part of a series about 350 Florida companies). While I can't access the Orlando Sentinel article, if it is as described by Mlb96 then we have multiple reliable, independent, in-depth sources. There is also a wide range of sources already cited in the article. I feel WP:GNG has been met. NemesisAT (talk) 21:04, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A family liquor store with some money to spend on advertising. scope_creep^Talk 12:28, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not one store, rather a chain of 140 according to the article. NemesisAT (talk) 18:43, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per HighKing. Passes WP:NCORP.4meter4 (talk) 21:48, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
