Delete - Can't find any reliable sources. Salsakesh (talk) 22:07, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Could someone with a reading knowledge of Vietnamese please have a look at the references? To me they mostly look reasonable but some might be press releases as nom said, and some might be promotional. Well-sourced for a short article, but the source independence is going to be the deciding factor. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:45, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Before I nominated this, I ran the sources through Google Translate, which is, obviously, not very good, but was enough to give the gist of the stories.

1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 appear to be press releases, paid-for articles or puff pieces. Very promotional language of the "strives to provide the best…" type of thing. Most of the text is repeated in the other 5 articles, and simply describes what the company does (or aims to do in future), which suggests a press release.

3 is a report on a trade show, with a single quote from a director of the company just listing the products they have brought to show. — Trey Maturin™ 15:06, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete based on the explanation above. I can't find sources for this business either. Oaktree b (talk) 15:21, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Thanks for the clarification, agreed. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 17:21, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — The lack of any Turkish-language sourcing for a supposedly 40+ year Turkish company is quite telling IMO. In my search for BTB Electric or BTB Elektrik, I only found articles on the Bursa Commercial Exchange Market (Bursa Ticaret Borsası), and absolutely nothing on this company. The trwiki article was speedied 4 days ago based on notability. Given that the Vietnamese sources are promotional, there is no way that this company meets WP:NCORP, which is a guideline that sets the bar really high for for-profit entities. Styyx (talk) 19:17, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also another interesting note, I tried to read some news stories on their official website (eg. this) and the Turkish used here is anything but natural. I wouldn't believe the person writing this actually knows Turkish. Styyx (talk) 19:33, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not directly relevant to the delete discussion, but… yeah. The references to Turkey in the promotional articles used as sources came over as weird, gtranslate's weirdness notwithstanding. I wondered if this was a mistranslation of a place or term in the original language, although that would prove me wrong for how convinced I was/am that the article's creator has a CoI. — Trey Maturin™ 19:55, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
