While this has been at AfD three times prior, the underlying issues remain, a BEFORE does not indicate significant, in depth coverage to meet WP:ORG. There is this review, but there's no indication that is a reliable source This is probably the best source along with this review and even together they're not enough.

A merger to Audio Partnership would also make sense as neither is too long as is, but given three prior AfDs I think this conversation deserves more light than proposed mergers do. StarM 16:06, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: seems like past attempts have failed due to lack of participation, but this is a blatant advert with no secondary sources. Stereophile looks like a blog; The Age is not in-depth; What Hi-Fi? is possibly usable but not hugely impressive. (Good WP:BEFORE check by the nominator, it seems—can't find anything further, though it's tough to get the search terms.) The other claim to notability is the "awards" their website claims to run. I believe these types of consumer goods awards are given out to basically anybody who pays for them (they'll do 6 products per category and companies will enter their products in 6 categories for a few thousand pounds so it's very hard not to win). I would check that these particular awards fall in that category but it doesn't matter anyway as this wouldn't be enough for GNG given the context of at most one further good source. — Bilorv (talk) 01:44, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Bilorv and nominator - fails WP:NCORP quite clearly in my opinion. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 07:38, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete utterly fails WP:NCORP. The topic is the company, not the product. HighKing++ 13:32, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
