The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. I strongly urge Cunard to moderate their contributions to AfD decisions, as these walls of text, spread out over numerous screens, make the task of the closing admin much harder. In the present case, several editors dispute the sources found by Cunard with strong policy-based arguments and there is a clear consensus to delete this article.

      The article notes:

      But among the dozens of other prominent blockchain projects — most of which are only quasi-operational — one is remarkable both for its developers’ location and the audacity of its ideas.

      It’s called OmiseGO, often shortened to OMG.

      ...

      The founders of OmiseGO are Jun Hasegawa, a Japanese former professional skateboarder turned tech entrepreneur, and Ezra “Don” Harinsut, a financial technology professional from Thailand.

      They are backed by a team of roughly 35 people — “which, I’m proud to say, includes a lot of badass girls,” Vansa says — hailing from Thailand, Japan, Poland, Australia, Singapore and elsewhere. The team has received a “startup of the year” award from Thailand’s government.

      But OmiseGO is perhaps best known in the crypto-tech scene because the great wunderkind of blockchain is one of the startup’s advisors. His name is Vitalik Buterin, a 24-year-old Russian-born programmer, and he is the mastermind behind Ethereum.

      The book notes:

      OmiseGo ICO Finished before it even started!

      While we're still getting our heads around ICOs that finish in 30 seconds, the OmiseGo ICO managed to finish before the token sale even started.

      Launched by an established Asia based payments provider, Omise – which boasts of being the first to back the Ethereum Foundation's Devgrants program – the ICO started with a token pre-sale on Bitcoin Suisse, a token investors pool of sorts that requires AML/KYC.

      The book further notes:

      8.7.5 OmiseGo

      OmiseGo is another interesting project that specialises in financial inclusion through payments (see Figures 8.21 and 8.22). With Vitalik Buterin and Thomas Greco from the Ethereum Foundation acting as advisors and team members, the project was a popular ICO with investors. One of the authors acts as a financial inclusion advisor and is an investor in the company.

      The article notes:

      OmiseGo, a virtual currency that currently operates using the Ethereum blockchain, developed by Russia’s Vitalik Buterin, features greater scalability and high transaction speeds. Ethereum was created with the ultimate goal of making crypto-money as legitimate as fiat currency.

      The Southeast Asian payment platform saw impressive development strides during the Q4 2017 bull market, pushing the value of the OmiseGo token, or OMG, to over $26.

      Omise, the parent company behind Omisego, has prioritized the implementation of merchant solutions and even made a leap in the direction of the Southeast Asian market. For instance, in 2017, Omise concluded a deal with McDonald’s Thailand, which now uses the platform as the only payment gateway provider for both the Thai McDonald’s website and the McDelivery Thailand app.

    4. Russell, Jon (2017-07-05). "Fintech startup Omise raises $25M in ICO that bucks 'money grabbing' trend". TechCrunch. Archived from the original on 2019-01-01. Retrieved 2019-01-01.

      The article notes:

      Omise, a fintech startup based in Thailand, has closed $25 million in new financing via a token sale, more commonly know as ICO, that closed today. In doing so, it become the most established tech company to date to take this financing route.

      The company, which has raised over $20 million to date from traditional VC investors, held the token sale to raise capital to develop a decentralized payment platform — Omise Go — that it hopes will disrupt the current banking system. The idea is to enable any Omise Go user to share funds through the network without the need for a bank account and without incurring fees or incurring cross-border costs. Beyond peer-to-peer payments, the company plans to sign up retail partners to extend its utility into purchases, and open the system up to other payment players, too.

      Omise Go remains under development, however, and it isn’t expected to launch fully until late next year although initial services and products will go live from Q4 2017. When it does launch, it will be powered by OMG, the Omise Go cryptocurrency which is based on ERC20 token standard and was sold in this ICO. OMG token holders will be given the opportunity to make money helping to run the network. That’s much like a software license in traditional thinking, and it mirrors a wider move by Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, who is working on ‘Casper’ proof-of-stake functionality for the cryptocurrency.

    5. Russell, Jon (2016-07-20). "Omise lands $17.5M Series B to expand its Stripe-like service in Southeast Asia". TechCrunch. Archived from the original on 2019-01-01. Retrieved 2019-01-01.

      The article notes:

      Omise, a Bangkok-based payment enabler much like Stripe, has raised a $17.5 million Series B round to expand its reach across Southeast Asia.

      The company proves a payment gateway system that allows any retailer take credit card payments online. That’s long been a problem in Southeast Asia, which is compromised of six major countries, each of which requires a different payment solution — Omise is trying to offer a one-stop shop. Right now, its service is available in Thailand and Japan (the birthplace of CEO Jun Hasegawa), but there are plans to expand to Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, where it has carried out closed testing, in the coming months. Beyond that, Omise is looking at reaching Vietnam, the Philippines, and Mekong countries like Burma, Laos and Cambodia at a later date.

      This new round, which is one of the largest for a fintech company in Southeast Asia to date, was led by Japan-based SBI Investment, with participation from Sinar Mas Digital Ventures (SMDV) in Indonesia, Thailand’s Ascend Money (affiliated with mobile operator True), and existing backer Golden Gate Ventures. Omise has now raised over $25 million, including a $2.6 million Series A in May 2015 and undisclosed round from Golden Gate Ventures last October, right after the Singapore-based VC firm announced a new $50 million fund.

      The article notes:

      OmiseGo Pte, a blockchain-based subsidiary of Omise Pte Ltd, will decentralise its exchange and payment infrastructure to enable cross-platform payments with a new e-wallet software development kit.

      ...

      In late July, OmiseGo successfully raised US$25 million (833 million baht) through an initial coin offering (ICO), which is a type of kick-starter crowdfunding campaign increasingly being used by blockchain teams to fund the development and scaling of decentralised projects.

      ...

      OmiseGo is a public blockchain e-payment platform designed to enable decentralised real-time peer-to-peer value exchanges and payment services across currencies and asset types, as well as across national borders and corporate ledgers.

      The article also contains quotes from people affiliated with the company.

      The article notes:

      On the consumer side, practical applications are now available in Thailand from OmiseGo, which uses public ethereum-based technology that can be linked to a traditional digital wallet.

      "We see the pain point of the existing mobile wallet platform, which has not taken off, and the use of e-wallet services has been limited due to its closed platform," said Ezra Don Harinsut, chief operating officer and co-founder of Omise, a Southeast Asian payment gateway and the parent of OmiseGo.

      Holders of OmiseGo tokens are granted the right to participate in validating the transactions that go through the OmiseGo network, earning validation fees in the process. According to CoinMarketCap, its market capitalisation currently stands around copy billion.

      McDonald's Thailand has partnered with Omise to manage its payment gateway.

    8. Cuen, Leigh (2017-05-31). "Initial Coin Offerings Go Mainstream: Omise and Kik Announce Cryptocurrency Sales". International Business Times. Archived from the original on 2019-01-01. Retrieved 2019-01-01.

      The article notes:

      OMG tokens represent the right to help facilitate the decentralized payments system Omise is building. “They are like buying a bit of code that lets the buyers participate in running the network,” the spokesperson said. “We don’t want to be the ones who own the infrastructure. We prefer that it remains open for the benefit of everyone.” The proof-of-stake can be revoked if the user is dishonest because Omise’s goal is to create a system for processing financial transactions without a centralized control, an influential elite or a corporate monopoly, aka a bank or credit card company.

      Omise already has raised more than $20.4 million since the digital payment service was founded in 2013 and now claims to serve 8,000 merchants in Japan, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand. Its executives are blockchain veterans devoted to the ideological vision of financial neutrality espoused by bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto. Wendell Davis, Omise’s product development lead, was once part of the original team that invented Ethereum. Just as Ethereum's network had far-reaching consequences beyond its cryptocurrency, ether, OmiseGO aims to impact users beyond the company's clients. “There’s no restrictions on who can join the network. People can do things on the network that have nothing to do with Omise payments,” the spokesperson said.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow OmiseGO to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • Delete All the references above the exact type of generic financial coverage that is prohibited by WP:NCORP and asserts WP:ORGIND, and WP:CORPDEPTH. There is no coverage outside startup news, which is expressely non notable sources. It is exactly that type of information that 100's of other crpyto currencies are reporting, and is entirely generic. There is no real secondary coverage. scope_creepTalk 15:06, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The articles do not contain "exactly that type of information that 100's of other crpyto currencies are reporting, and is entirely generic". Here is non-generic information from the sources that is specifically about Omise and OmiseGo:
    1. "OmiseGo, a virtual currency that currently operates using the Ethereum blockchain, developed by Russia’s Vitalik Buterin, features greater scalability and high transaction speeds."
    2. "But OmiseGO is perhaps best known in the crypto-tech scene because the great wunderkind of blockchain is one of the startup’s advisors. His name is Vitalik Buterin, a 24-year-old Russian-born programmer, and he is the mastermind behind Ethereum."

    • You're functionally quoting the same stuff over again. Literally the text you quote from Inclusive Fintech is generic passing coverage with no depth. You appear to be able to find search-engine text matches, but I must question your evaluation of what you find there - David Gerard (talk) 21:20, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do not consider a subsection of a book to be "generic passing coverage with no depth". I am quoting specific sentences to show why the comment that the coverage "is entirely generic" is incorrect. There is plenty of specific information about why sources think OmiseGO stands out.

    Cunard (talk) 22:18, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per sources provided by Cunard passes our GN guidlines therefore an article is warranted. Valoem talk contrib 23:35, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment They may pass GN guidelines, but they fail NCORP (the relevant guidelines for organizations) guidelines. HighKing++ 21:10, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Once again, Cunard posts a wall of text containing too many references. I thought he had agreed to limit his style to 3 at a time. Cunard also appears to ignore WP:NCORP guidelines and instead quotes GNG's sufficient coverage in reliable sources while ignoring the clarifications provided by NCORP. This behaviour is extremely disruptive to the AfD process, especially considering that most of the time, Cunard selectively omits the parts of references that show why the references fail the criteria for establishing notability.
As per NCORP, Independent content, in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject (My emphasis). Also, If source's independence is of any doubt, it is better to exercise caution and exclude it from determining quality sources for the purposes of establishing notability. None of the sources provided by Cunard above include any original/independent opinion/analysis/investigation/etc that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Extracting parts of articles which overall rely extensively on company sources does not meet the standard required. HighKing++ 21:10, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is unfortunately typical. Cunard is good at running searches, but is not good at assessing value of the sources thus found - David Gerard (talk) 00:42, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: does not meet WP:NCORP; sourcing offered is in passing, routine notices and / or WP:SPIP. As an aside, the article does not even hide its advertorial intent; it opens with: "OmiseGO is a company hoping to build an open..." (emphasis mine). This is all about the company's goals and aspirations, not an encyclopedia entry. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:35, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Here are my responses to HighKing's responses about the sources I provided:
    • This pri.org reference fails WP:ORGIND. Cunard's extract omits any mention of the interview. Fail. – the quotation I provided does include a quotation from Vansa Chatikavanij, OmiseGO's managing director. This article from Public Radio International, an American public radio organization, is not merely an interview. It includes independent analysis from Patrick Winn. Winn notes, "Now for some caveats, some of which are substantial." The article includes a quotation from Vansa Chatikavanij, OmiseGo's managing director, about what she thinks the company's challenges are. But it also includes independent analysis from an expert unaffiliated with the company:

      In the blockchain world, confidence in OmiseGO’s mission is not universal. Asked to evaluate its chances of success, Cornell Tech professor and crypto-finance expert Ari Juels says their goals are “extremely ambitious and technically challenging. And they don’t appear to have a substantial research team or partnership.” “So,” he says, “it’s unclear how they’ll pull it off.”

      The professor is skeptical of OmiseGo's chances of success. The independent analysis from journalist Patrick Winn and Cornell Tech professor Ari Juels clearly make this an independent source.
    • The book "Inclusive FinTech" mentions the company in passing and fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Fail. – the book discusses Omise's ICO and provides detailed background about OmiseGo.
    • This Sputnik News reference has no attributed author/journalist, comments on the ICO of their token, reads like an advertisement and has no in-depth information on the company failing WP:CORPDEPTH. Fail. – many new agencies including Sputnik News and Agence France-Presse do not include author bylines. The article contains background information about the company and what it is doing.
    • Cunard's extract from the TechCrunch reference crucially omits the following sentence: Omise’s core business is enabling online payments, much like Stripe, in Thailand, Japan and Indonesia, but it became interested in the blockchain a few years ago, CEO Jun Hasegawa told TechCrunch in an interview as well as quotations from Hasegawa which confirms the reference is based on an interview, is not intellectually independent and fails WP:ORGIND. Fail. – it is good journalistic practice to interview the subject of an article. That is why the article contains quotations from Omise CEO Jun Hasegawa. That the article contains quotations from Jun Hasegawa does not make the article non-independent. The article contains independent analysis from TechCrunch journalist Jon Russell:

      The OMG token sale is notable for a number of reasons. Omise is one of the more established tech companies to take the ICO route, which to date has been favored by young ventures that are typically in the very early stages of building out ambitious and unproven product visions. It is also the first real example of a controlled ICO.

      Omise capped its token sale at $25 million, eschewing the ‘gold rush’ mentality which has seen other companies raise tens of millions of U.S. dollars more as ICOs have gained a reputation for giving backers huge financial gains quickly. Over the past month or so alone, browser startup Brave raised $35 million in under a minute, little-known fintech firm TenX raised $80 million, an ICO for ICO-enabler Bancor drew $150 million while highly controversial project EOS claimed a record after raising over $185 million in the first week of a year-long ICO campaign.

      In contrast, the OMG ICO is capped. Omise initially targeted less than $20 million, but it later increased its ICO target to $25 million due to high demand. The original plan to raise a pre-sale figure of $4 million in OMG coin — a move to lock in traditional investors keen to take part in the token sale — was deemed unfeasible when Omise blew past that figure.

      Jon Russell compared Omise's ICO to ICOs by "browser startup Brave", "little-known fintech firm TenX", "ICO-enabler Bancor", and "highly controversial project EOS". Russell concluded that Omise is "the first real example of a controlled ICO" where the ICO is capped.

      The journalist concludes the article with this paragraph:

      It’s an interesting approach that comes at a time when — following the EOS campaign — many are beginning to believe ICOs are a money grab for companies and the investors who buy into them. The truth is that token sales clearly have broad potential, but we are still in the very early days of realizing exactly what that might be. Increased responsibility and control around ICOs from other companies may help rein in some of the skepticism and allow the tech community to embrace the undoubted potential of this model. It would be a shame to let the bad apples ruin the barrel.

      He calls Omise's controlled ICO "an interesting approach" and puts it in the broader context of a time when "many are beginning to believe ICOs are a money grab for companies and the investors who buy into them" because of EOS' very controversial ICO.
    • This Bangkok Post reference is based on an interview with a founder (no mention of that in Cunard's extract) and fails WP:ORGIND as it is not intellectually independent. Fail. – that the article contains quotations from the founder does not make the article non-independent. There is independent analysis about how OmiseGo works. Bangkok Post journalist Suchit Leesa-Nguansuk notes:

      OmiseGo is a public blockchain e-payment platform designed to enable decentralised real-time peer-to-peer value exchanges and payment services across currencies and asset types, as well as across national borders and corporate ledgers.

      Users, for example, will be able to take airline mileage points and convert them into "cash" to pay for groceries anywhere around the world.

    • https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/news/1380891/bonanza-or-bubble- This next Bangkok Post reference] fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:SIGCOV as it has no in-depth information on the company and relies on quotations from a company officer. Fail. – I included this article because it says "McDonald's Thailand has partnered with Omise to manage its payment gateway". That the Thailand operations of blue chip company McDonald's are relying on Omise to manage its payment gateway contributes to its notability.
    Regarding "I thought he had agreed to limit his style to 3 at a time", I made no such agreement. Please provide a diff for this assertion or withdraw it. I include all sources I have found since different editors consider different sources acceptable in establishing notability.

    Cunard (talk) 04:56, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I rest my case. Once you apply the WP:ORGIND guideline Independent content, in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject there's hardly anything left and certainly no in-depth information on the company. I can see various opinions on the ICO but the token is not the topic, the company is. HighKing++ 15:15, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – No opinion at this time about this topic, but in general, the probability of topics that are actually notable being deleted would significantly increase if users were limited to posting only three sources at AfD discussions. Such a policy would entirely bias the AfD process, muzzling editors from presenting all valid references to qualify notability. This would skew the AfD process to favor deletion from the start, goes against the grain of WP:NEXIST, and would discourage fair assessment of notability and functional discussion. North America1000 05:55, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Northamerica1000: I've no problem with someone posting 20 or 30 links if they like, just not to include long passages of selected extracts. Even a short pointer such as "from page 2" or "para 5 page 6" would be fine. But Cunard's walls of text is disruptive and often results in having several pages of text to scroll through. Completely unnecessary - editors are quite capable of reading the references themselves. And on a similar topic, not so long ago towards the beginning of 2018, I used to post "walls of text" analysing each reference and stating reasons why it passed or failed the criteria for establishing notability. I was asked to stop and I did, out of courtesy, when it was pointed out that it was unnecessary and disruptive and offputting to other editors. But it also seems that I and a handful of other editors are in the minority on this topic so I guess there's no consensus to request Cunard to change this behaviour. HighKing++ 15:10, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment : I strongly support citing as many finds as practically possible in AfD discussions since this is a critical Wikipedia process. Be that as it may, I do not think it's necessary to cite from these sources as extensively as Cunard does because it's a practice that if imitated and established would lead to extremely unwieldy project texts and would frighten away potential participants. So, the extent of sources should stay, IMVHO, but the extended quotes trimmed. A shave; not a brazilian! Take care, all. -The Gnome (talk) 15:24, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, it comes across as filibustering. And the cites keep failing to be very good? Making up for lack of substance with a sheer flood of words - David Gerard (talk) 17:21, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Despite the references cited by Cunard above (in typically thorough fashion), the subject is still swimming in the seas of the unborn. The text is full of words such as "hoping to build," "stated objective," "the plan was," and finally "not yet operational." As clear a case of WP:TOOSOON as there can be. -The Gnome (talk) 15:24, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing much in the way of significant coverage in major, independent, reliable sources.

  • Comment - There's coverage if you search for "Promotional banks", "State development banks" and so forth these do seem to receive some coverage but I'm not sure I understand enough about this (or speak German well enough) to decide either way. E.g., 1. I'd be very cautious in deleting this article without getting input from a German-speaker. PS - the subject is not A promotional bank, it is promotional banks in general. FOARP (talk) 18:45, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which is why I'm saying we need input from a German speaker here. This is a non-BLP article so there's no rush for deletion here. Based on a simple Google Scholar search I see this paper which appears to be about German State Development Banks. This paper appears to have a section on State Development Banks. I also see a reference to another paper (Jung, M. (2003): Landesförderinstitute in Deutschland — Konzepte für eine moderne Mittelstandsfinanzierung in Hamburg, im Auftrag der Bürgengemeinschaft Hamburg) which appears to be about State Development Banks. However, I have only GCSE German and cannot read the articles. FOARP (talk) 19:56, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the links provided but it is of PDF-like format and I cant get them translated. Anyone who reads this post, and if you know German language do assist if possible to provide 3 independent, reliable sources (inline citation in the article), so I would withdraw the nomination at once. thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 20:19, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This seems to be a class of banks, either established by German federal law or common enough in Germany that federal law recognises a class that already exists. Federal/national legal matters in anglophone countries are generally notable, so if these banks are a creature of the law, they'd be notable in the US or Australia or the UK. And if it's a common class that the law merely recognises, the class is definitely notable: legislators wouldn't know what these banks were (and thus wouldn't legislate for them) if they didn't have reliable sources explaining what these banks are, what they do, etc. Nyttend (talk) 21:16, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • German comment Does not seem to be an official institution. The name may be misleading. See [5], emphasis mine: Landesförderinstitut – der Name ist ebenso sperrig wie falsch. Denn um eine Einrichtung des Landes handelt es sich nicht.

This appears to be a non-notable company that fails WP:CORP. I'm not finding any secondary reliable sources that provide primary coverage on this article subject (definitely not any significant coverage that's required in WP:GNG), and nothing in terms of news, educational articles, or documents.

  • Delete: WP:FAILN and is an indiscriminate grouping of material. Totally unsourced article (showing since 2006), hanging around apparently mocking a multitude of policies and guidelines. Indiscriminately links, that looks impressive, but does not offer any "support" for notability. A search did not find anything to show anything either. Maybe it should not have been moved. Of course, if it had the same lack of sources while in the other article just maybe it shouldn't have been there either. In 2015 and 2017 issues were raised and a merge request placed. Nothing was dealt with. "Seeing" or "not seeing" a supposed point is not the issue. We have policies and guidelines, as well as broad community consensus, that notability- be established by reliable sources. Just because someone "likes" an article does not mean we should have it either. I can't even see a basis for a stand alone article if it were blown to bits and started again from scratch. What would be the sources? Produce a couple so I can look. Otr500 (talk) 16:30, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retain If deleted all the information should be ported into the Comma-separated values article where it wouldn't fit neatly. Far better, as at present, to use a hat note to annex-out lists from the main text pages. Sources are given in the form of external links – they should be formatted properly but they do exist. Doing that would avoid the WP:EL criticism. The list clearly is not a programming guide, it merely points the reader to libraries and modules. To fall under WP:NOTHOWTO there would need to be explicit code examples showing calls to the libraries. In short, all that needs to be done is to sort out the references, checking that they are still relevant/up to date. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 15:40, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comments: I am trying to be open minded but can understand why there has been no references added since 2006. I was sincere in my source request (since I couldn't find anything) for someone to "Produce a couple so I can look". A reply was "Sources are given in the form of external links – they should be formatted properly but they do exist.". It was also offered above "every external link you're objecting to is one of the external sources".
I randomly picked some "external links", not just a link to an article, but a possible reference: Ruby on Rails framework, to try to black link and use as a reference. It is a self-published anonymous (Posted by rafaelfranca) blog that begins "Hi everyone,", noting that Rails 5.2.2 has been released. Links can be followed that lead to another anonymous blog (under "News" posted by dhh). Undeterred I scrolled down and chose xmlsh, an expired domain parked at GoDaddy for purchase. I then clicked on cassava and I arrived at GitHub where I can sign up or sign in to watch, star, or fork a repository (the term used on the link). It also states above "...it merely points the reader to libraries and modules.". I gave it my best shot when apparently proponents just gave comments but there are still notability issues and this list does not follow Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists.

  • Weak Keep - PennLive is a statewide publication in Pennsylvania and appears to be a WP:NEWSORG. Lebanon Daily News is a local paper for Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Philadelphia Business Journal appears to be an RS for Philadeplhia business news. This book appears to be an RS for brewing in Delaware. It seems to verge on WP:ROUTINE and WP:MILL but it's already a pretty big chain as well. Article need clean-up to remove WP:PROMO material though, but AFD is not clean-up FOARP (talk) 08:27, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep One has to wonder if the nominator was too busy rattling off all these acronyms instead of actually looking to see if a variety of quality sources exist. Turns out the nom's assertion of "No coverage outside advertising" is false. Here are two stories from the Harrisburg Patriot-News; here's a couple stories from the Greenville News; several from the Wilmington News Journal; couple from the Delmarva Daily Times; this from the Camden Courier-Post; a story by the Baltimore Business Journal; another by the Newark Post, and several from the Philadelphia Inquirer. But allow to me to complain real quick about those acronyms. A quick glance at the article's history would have revealed that this article was created by a Wikipedia Education Program student. Oblique statements like "Fails WP:NCORP. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. ... Fails WP:SIGCOV." are hardly going to encourage new contributors to stay with the project. Whether the nom didn't bother googling for sources or didn't believe the sources satisfied the notability criteria, they could have taken an extra 30 seconds to write out something more friendly and clear to a new user, e.g., "I don't think there are enough quality, independent sources covering this company in depth to satisfy the criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia." 2601:47:4001:E830:783C:C8EE:D1BA:7FB0 (talk) 08:27, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment One has to wonder if the crass paid editor above who has been busy rattling off whole bunch of churnalism articles instead of actually looking to determine what these acronyms actually mean, and how worthy the churnalism article are? Now they have listed each of the pages in turn, I will go through each of them, and examine them. scope_creepTalk 14:35, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Having examined them, most are covered by WP:ROUTINE as it is the restuarant critic providing a listing inluding an address or organisation, that are basest of coverage, and very low quality, listing what it does, high spots of specific foods, menus etc. Several are straight up blogs and are non RS. The rest an financial information akin to startup that it covered by WP:NCORP. Pure run of the mill mentions. scope_creepTalk 14:50, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Scope Creep, I'm not a paid editor and I've never been to Iron Hill before; I stumbled upon this article when researching the WP Education Program. (In fact, I'm a former user who left the project several years ago because I got tired of a culture where users spent more effort policing others than writing content. Consider this consent for a CU to run my IP if you are not inclined to believe me.) Back to this AfD: None of the sources I listed are "straight up blogs" (hence why I also listed the publication names); they're all reputable news organizations. Obviously, scientific journals are not going to be writing about restaurant companies or breweries – restaurant critics and food writers will be the ones. When you look at these sources in aggregate (and you should have looked at potential sources before you even nom'd this instead of making someone else do the work of finding them; remember: "Notability requires only that these necessary sources have been published—even if these sources are not actually listed in the article yet"), the coverage extends beyond just openings and closings to information about the background of the company, the business strategy, corporate expansion, a partnership with a college, food offerings, recognition/awards, even a conflict with a city. This indicates that there has been a diversity of coverage – all of it independent, so it does not fail WP:ORGIND as you falsely asserted. It also passes WP:SIGCOV despite your contrary assertion; the coverage directly addresses the company beyond trivial mentions. And finally, I believe it passes WP:ORGDEPTH in that the examples of coverage above (which are not the only sources out there, either; this was merely from a cursory Google search) provide an "overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization." The coverage exceeds "brief mentions" and it would clearly be possible to incorporate the information from these sources to write more than a stub about the brewery. You argue that the coverage is routine, but I would counter that by pointing out even the stories about openings and expansions go beyond the perfunctory, two-paragraph notices you sometimes see in a newspaper's business section. Instead, these sources tend to include additional information, such as the company's background, how it's approached expansion, and how it fits into its markets. And inexplicably, Scope Creep, while the story currently has mediocre sources that should be improved, you actually removed a reliable newspaper source as well as sentence containing encyclopedic information (number of locations; expansion plans) that could easily have been reworded to a neutral tone. I think it's bad form to be removing a reliable source from an article and then nominating it for deletion partially on the basis of lack of independent sources. 2601:47:4001:E830:80F0:2FCC:FFEF:A78B (talk) 22:19, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Agree with editor above that the nom could have been more helpfully worded. I don't think simply stating "It's churnalism" really addresses the sourcing from local/regional/state-wide news sources in multiple states available for this brewery/chain. I think it should also be pointed out that this brewery/restaunrant chain does rise above (just) run-of-the-mill material since it has now existed for mre than 20 years, has opened a relatively large number of locations, and is part of a prominent movement in gastronomy (microbreweries). It also has substantial coverage in guides to breweries (see, e.g., 1 2 3). FOARP (talk) 17:42, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Plenty of reliable sources have been identified and rejecting all of them as "churnalism" is one editor's opinion which is justified neither by policies nor by guidelines. Calling another editor "crass" is as objectionable as an accusation of paid editing without evidence. Mentioning a the geographic area that a regional business operates in is encyclopedic coverage, as is mentioning the number of locations. Removing that content is inexplicable.

  • Weak keep - a very small COI here - I've actually eaten at Iron Hill 3 or 4 times. Mostly it's a fairly nice brewpub - better food than most, most of the beers are too hoppy (what else is new?). All that personal stuff means next to nothing, except that I know the business actually exists - unlike many other articles that come through AfD. I never have seen notable articles in the wild about it. But some of the articles above look ok. Also the 2 Hagley Museum and Library refs - sorta "oral history" interviews about the brew pub industry - are from a well-known business history archive (funded by the DuPonts). I'd consider the 2 together as one reliable source. Which puts me right on the line notable/non-notable. Maybe the personal stuff does matter (nice prime rib Sunday mornings).

The result was delete. The subject does not meet the notability criteria for companies. While there is some coverage by reliable sources, the coverage is passing or otherwise insignificant. With its promotional content now removed, the article does little more than assert that this company exists.

Source assessment table:
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
VisitReykjavik.is No WP:SPS ~ WP:SPS can be good for business details but may embellish reviews. No Having a website doesn't connote notability. ✘ No
NZ Herald Yes Not affiliated. Yes Unfamiliar with publication, assuming good faith. No AA is mentioned once in passing. ✘ No
ProjectExpedition.com ? Looks like an aggregator site. ~ It doesn't make many claims about the company to be assessed. No Looks like a directory or automated business entry. ✘ No
Grapevine.is No Sponsored content. No See above. Yes Mentions the company twice and displays some photos, I guess that is significant enough. ✘ No
Iceland Monitor Yes Yes No reason to suspect unreliability. No Mentions AA's CEO's view on a particular policy. Passing. ✘ No
Adventure Travel News Yes Appears unaffiliated / unsponsored. ? Something about the title including a .is doesn't seem quite right, unfamiliar with the publication so leaving it as a question mark. Yes ? Unknown
Cleveland.com Yes Yes No reason to suspect unreliability. No Blog-type post about their trip. Only mentions of AA are when they say they booked through them. ✘ No

  • Delete as company does not meet the clear requirements for significant coverage in WP:NCORP. This company verifiably exists and clearly has marketed itself well. But that's not notability. It's great that a two line promotional description shows up in the Guardian and BBC sources, but the famous media names do not make the coverage significant. WP:NCORP is clear that "the significance is not determined by the reputation of the source." Likewise, the coverage in Icelandic sources is largely of the routine variety repeating press release information (e.g. X bought Y and now has N employees, 2 quotes from company spokesperson/PR about bright future), and WP:NCORP is clear that "the sources must describe and discuss in some depth the treatment of the employees or major changes in leadership instead of just listing the fact that the corporation employs 500 people or mentioning that John Smith was appointed as the new CEO." While there is no doubt that this company is interesting, they do not seem to be notable in Wikipedia terms. Bakazaka (talk) 06:45, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This company, which once operated a single nightclub, has extant sources that are just barely enough to prove it exists and isn't a hoax, but certainly not enough to demonstrate notability. A basic BEFORE (Google News, Google Books, JSTOR, newspapers.com) is somewhat foiled by the fact that "Rojam" is a better known as a type of Toyota custom mod kit. But, insofar it's possible to tell, it fails the BEFORE. Chetsford (talk) 10:26, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Hi there. I put a lot of work in to adding more sources to this article after it was recently listed as proposed deletion. I removed the tag in line with having resolved the issues. Having done that, I do not appreciate your mischaracterisation of the work. Factual inaccuracies include:
  1. "This company": it is in fact a series of companies operating multinationally (Japan, HK, China), one of which is stock listed on a major international stock market and therefore having numerous investors.
  2. "A single nightclub": the article contains cited references to multiple nightclubs, one of which was quite famous in its day (enough to host multiple major international acts, some of which are cited), in addition to various music and entertainment interests.
  3. "notability": A stock market listed (also known as "public company") on a major stock exchange is by definition notable. Similarly, an early operation in Shanghai's music history is by definition notable, as it is now a major world city.
  4. BEFORE: There was very little information about China available in English at the time of these activities, which is why Google, English newspapers and published English books would not reference it. It will be listed in some period guides to Shanghai, but they are unlikely to be indexed.
In short - yes this is clearly notable place, I have put lots of work in to it. The correct manner to enhance such an article is to do better (less lazy, monolingual, online-only) research. prat (talk) 12:51, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A stock market listed (also known as "public company") on a major stock exchange is by definition notable. That's incorrect. WP:LISTED does not set-out that any company with a publicly traded stock is automatically notable. There was very little information about China available in English at the time of these activities, which is why Google, English newspapers and published English books would not reference it. While I question the accuracy of the statement that there was "very little information about China available" in the early 2000s, WP:BEFORE requires only a basic search by the nom which I have met. You are, however, free to independently engage in a complex or archival records search, or to provide offline or non-English RS.

  • Keep per WP:LISTED as the company is a constituent of the primary Hong Kong stock exchange, which is sufficient to indicate notability as argued in WP:AFD/C.C.P.C.P.
I note the umbrella company has been called Media Asia Group for a while now, just FYI, discussion of subsidiary businesses in the article is fine, but the title should be changed. — shard t 14:00, 30 December 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.186.68.103 (talk)
@86.186.68.103: That appears to be a "different" Media Asia at best. I remember during my Hong Kong film fandom phase watching a bunch of Media Asia films produced in the early 90s, before this article's subject was founded in 1996 and/or 1998. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 03:28, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Although I'm half-tempted to say TNT delete given that a quick Google search indicated that the things this company is known for are things our article currently gives the impression of carefully glossing over. According to both this and this its establishment was the cause of a downturn in Komuro's career, and the latter source says it was founded in 1996 as a joint venture with Rupert Murdoch called "TK News" before being rebranded (the former source dates this to 1998, although it implies they were separate entities) as "Rojam Entertainment". Conversely, of the sources currently cited in the article, this one doesn't mention Rojam Entertainment and doesn't hint that Media Asia was ever known by any other name, while saying it was listed in 2001, long before this source was published under the Rojam name. Nothing in this source nor this one indicates that the identically named night club is linked to the entertainment company, although a user comment on the former implies that a now-dead link to the official rojam.com website mentions the club. I couldn't find any sources indicating that the company was founded in 1988, although this kinda leads me to suspect that the 1988 date relates to a separate company called Media Asia. This kind of clumsy editing is frankly shocking coming from any experienced editor, let alone an admin, but those issues are matters for ANI, or perhaps ArbCom; the topic is notable, so the article should be kept, then blanked and rewritten. I wouldn't oppose redirecting to Tetsuya Komuro in the meantime. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 04:54, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Despite some passing uses of this neologism in 2009, it clearly has not become established as a real term. As per WP:NEO, an article on a neologism should not be supported by uses of a new term, but rather by reliable secondary sources that talk about the term. I have not been able to find any such sources. Even uses of the term online are almost nil since the few references in 2009. Moreover, much of the article is original research, and citations 1+2 (that purport to support most of the text, including almost all the examples) are broken links. Some other citations do not use the term as a noun, or do not use the term at all. The article should be deleted because Wikipedia is not a dictionary and because, as per WP:NEO, the page may be a (stale and failed) attempt to use Wikipedia to increase usage of the term. cmhTC 03:28, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is a good article on the Saccharomyces Genome Database allowing readers to access info on individual yeast genes but no purpose in having a stub about a single one in isolation. Mccapra (talk) 19:12, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as per nomination.TH1980 (talk) 02:19, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep We should never propose content for deletion because we either don't understand it, or think there aren't yet enough related articles to make them relevant. We should add more content, not delete what we don't like. I have added a suite of references to demonstrate that this is a notable gene. I hope the proposer will look at this video (6mins 20seconds in) to appreciate how important genome articles on Wikipedia are to the scientific community.

  • Keep I'm very perplexed by the notion that we shouldn't have articles on topics included in external databases. That obviously wouldn't extend to external encyclopedias and reference books though I'm not sure where the difference lies. However, I expect I have got the wrong end of the stick. And this isn't the sole article about a Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast gene (see Category:Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes) but I worry that saying that may make matters worse. Thank you to Nick for adding references. Thincat (talk) 22:47, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I appear to have made a mistake in accepting this from draft 6 months ago. There's actually insufficient evidence of notability -- almost all of the positions listed are just student offices.

  • Delete per nom, does not meet WP:GNG. Catrìona (talk) 22:49, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. I saw this draft back in the spring, and rejected it the first time it was put in the AFC queue because at that time it was written in Portuguese rather than English, but I didn't keep it on my radar after the creator translated it. There's nothing here that's "inherently" notable per WP:NPOL, but he doesn't get over WP:GNG either — the article is not based on reliable source coverage about him, but on a mix of primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other people or things. And since this was its creator's only contribution to Wikipedia, it indeed looks like a self-promotional violation of our conflict of interest rules. Bearcat (talk) 18:16, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
