Mahindra Mutual Fund[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This company does not appear to meet the standards set out at WP:COMPANY, specifically WP:CORPDEPTH. Sourcing is poor quality but appears to be the best available on the company, which speaks to the company's lack of notability. Anything salvageable can be merged into Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Limited, but there's no reason for the mutual fund to have its own article.

Comment' The references listed above are all either announcements in relation to granting a license to the parent to operate a fund or are PR announcements complete with interviews/comments from the CEO or other company officer. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 14:21, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Provisional Keep One dedicated article from unimpeachably reliable source, The Economic Times. Both the other print/website sources are well done, non-tabloid, but both of their Wikipedia articles have self-promotion issues. If they are reliable, then a keep seems a no-brainer. Input fr/ unbiased editors familiar with the Indian business environment would be helpful. Tapered (talk) 01:57, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:CORP. Any notable content can be merged with Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Limited which already has a sectio on the mutual fund. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 14:21, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If the article is deleted, a merge is unlikely to actually occur. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:06, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Would the solution be to do some sort of preemptive merge in the event that the article is deleted? Or if the article is going to be deleted, should we ask the AFD closer to hold off until a merge has been completed? Marquardtika (talk) 16:08, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge !votes are allowed at AfD. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:09, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Merge to Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Limited § Mahindra Mutual Fund. Seems to be a decent compromise, and this WP:ATD-M can improve the merge target article.~~ North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:14, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – I just removed some copyvio from the article (diff1, diff2), and there's not much left worth merging. Struck my !vote above. Delete. No prejudice against a clean-start article, sans copyright violations. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:26, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
