advertisement, sourced to press releases. No indication of being a significant presence in its field. The other components of its parent company Network 18 and the ultimate holding company Reliance Industries need to be checked also . DGG ( talk ) 03:22, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep a well known brand in ecommerce space in India. If the article is written as advertisement, it should be improved with reliable sources added, but this does not warrant deletion. Homeshop18 stand alone passes GNG without the parent group notability.ChunnuBhai (talk) 04:51, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete in this case as although it may be known, there's enough to weigh the likely benefits here and we've been concerned as it is about the advertising motivations here, and considering there's a lot of zig-zag here in between company articles, it seems like coatracking.

Keep As always begrudgingly; shopping channels are a scourge of television (and the scourge of WP:TV in turn), but this one has complete distribution throughout India and that gets it their WP:N points easily. Still, shred and gut all the WP:ADVERT and WP:COI content. Nate • (chatter) 07:51, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete & optionally redirect to Network 18. Spammy content on an unremarkable shopping channel. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:45, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If need be can be stubified to remove WP:ADVERT content. But is a very notable channel and therefore warrants a keep according to me. Jupitus Smart 15:15, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Definitely notable. Only the writing of article need improvements else this definitely qualifies wiki standards. Search on Google, everything is evidently notable and independent. Light2021 (talk) 20:24, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - very obviously notable. Home Shop 18 has a wide distribution throughout India and has received more than enough coverage (even a quick Google search gives satisfactory results) to prove its notability. The problem of advert and promotional material is nothing that cannot be fixed. — Yash^talk stalk 06:14, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
