The result was delete‎. The arguments to delete are both stronger and more numerous here; at least a few of the provided sources are clearly inadmissible. I say this, for the record, despite my personal feeling that a conglomerate of this size ought to have enough source material. Vanamonde (Talk) 03:27, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Based on (lack of) sourcing, this does not seem to be notable.--Gen. Quon[Talk] 21:26, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Here are a few more sources: [1], [2], [3]. Does it for me but if there is still a consensus to delete, a merge or redirect to Hyundai Group needs to be considered as an WP:ATD. ~Kvng (talk) 17:44, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 1 above is press-release and fails WP:SIRS as not being independent of the subject.
  • Ref 2 is a passing mention. Fails WP:SIRS as not indepth.
  • Ref 3 is not independent as interviews. Fails WP:ORGIND. scope_creepTalk 09:47, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    1/ I don't see that. The article has a byline. 2/ It is a short article. Passing mention usually refers to a brief mention in a longer article. 3/ Though there are quotes, I wouldn't characterized this as an interview. ~Kvng (talk) 13:30, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The sources added by Eastmain (except the last one) seem sufficient in establishing notability. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 21:39, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why would you say such a thing when its so obvious that the references added to the article all fail WP:NCORP. I will go throught the refs tommorrow. scope_creepTalk 22:28, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You only seem to started attending Afd since May, apart from a couple in 2020. !voting keep on everything. scope_creepTalk 11:33, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Lets examine the references for this article. Per the references:

Looking at the references above:

The article was created during that period when any old junk could be used to source it and accepted and this is reflected in the very poor quality of the references. They are as routine and basic as it possible to get and they fail WP:NCORP at a number of levels. While this is a public company and the consensus is to keep such articles, in these articles types, the references still must satisfy WP:NCORP. scope_creepTalk 11:33, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Don't these initials stand for "Hyundai Development Company"? It is a logical redirect in my opinion. Lightburst (talk) 22:26, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article says it was spun off from Hyundai and they're no longer affiliated. But now I see we also have an article on HDC Hyundai Development Company which says something completely different. So I don't know - you may be right. – bradv 22:48, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A brief comment: If there is to be a redirect, there should be some mention or explanation of this topic on the target page. Redirecting, for example, "HDC" to Hyundai Group implies that they are either synonymous or that one is contained within the other; if they are separate entities that at one point shared a name or collaborated, a redirect without any mention of "HDC" on the target page would be a little misleading.

  • Delete: A large number of sources that each fail WP:SIRS for different reasons is no substitute for good sourcing. Since nobody has been able to find any source that actually meets the criteria for establishing notability, I don't see how this can be considered to meet that threshold. There is no doubt that many of the available sources could be used to verify individual claims in an article, but none establish notability to the extent that is required for standalone articles.
