The lack of independent sources here is quite glaring. We have the company's own site, a dead link to another site run by the company, and a press release. None of this rises to the standard set by WP:GNG/WP:CORP. - Biruitorul ^Talk 17:47, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is about a television station based in Romania, what kind of coverage do you want? The thing is, it actually has better sources than most of the Romanian TV articles. Or would an article on iNES in general be more appropriate? Thanks, Mat ty.007 17:11, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, this is not owned by iNES to the best of my knowledge. Mat ty.007 17:18, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- It's not a question of what I want; "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" is what policy demands. Sources can be in any language, so its location in Romania should not be that much of a problem.
- True, www.digitaltvnews.net is probably not owned by iNES. But you may wish to review WP:SPS - citing press releases is not only strongly discouraged, it also cannot substitute for coverage in independent sources, which we don't have. - Biruitorul ^Talk 20:05, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. iNES is the first IPTV service provider in Romania, since 2005, according to Capital and Ziarul Financiar. iNES is also the first network who provided HD TV in Romania, since November 2008, according to Hotnews. They were still the only IPTV provider in Romania in 2009, having invested 2mln euros in the IPTV division, according to Curierul Național. Razvan Socol (talk) 05:01, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Wikipedia:Most_wanted_articles#1.E2.80.9399. This is one of the most requested articles since January 2013; deleting it would create almost 200 red links. Bearian (talk) 22:47, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well... not really, see [1]. But as I wrote above, I think this article should be kept because it is about a notable service provider. 10:38, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Keep, per Rsocol-major TV provider in Romania. Mat ty.007 10:21, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - there are clearly issues with referencing but a cursory search indicates that the subject is notable. I am happy to assist the creator to improve the article. Flat Out let's discuss it 12:33, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the offer! Mat ty.007 20:06, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have reworked the article, deleted one source which was unreliable, reformatted external links and deleted one which was a duplicate, consolidated all section headings into "Overview" and rephrased a little to improve readability. There are enough reliable sources to meet WP:NOTE. Flat Out let's discuss it 00:54, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
