The company appears to be mostly notable for Wiki-PR editing of Wikipedia, so, after digging into it more, I think it should be redirected there. The World's Signature (talk) 21:17, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Received a fair bit of press for doing a number of unsavory things. I am sure the company would like to see this article deleted to help them with hiding their history. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:21, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It looks like the nominator tried to add various promotional bits to make the company look better, was reverted, and is now nominating the article for deletion, so technically it's a speedy keep under WP:SKCRIT#2d. But since we're here, The World's Signature, do you have any undisclosed connection to Status Labs? Bakazaka (talk) 23:38, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bakazaka, I guess I should have explained myself more. I don't have any direct connection to Status Labs apart from the fact that I live in Austin and found the company interesting based on that. It was not my intent to promote them when I did my initial edits, merely wanted to bring the page up to what other Wiki pages for companies look like. The reason I decided to nomniate the page for deletion is because there was a notability tag added to the article by a more experienced user after my edits. If the page is going to be a short paragraph, seems to me it'd be more appropriate to have it as a section on Wiki-PR editing of Wikipedia rather than its own page.The World's Signature (talk) 00:42, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. So, to clarify, you're proposing a merge? There is no Status Labs content at your proposed target currently. Bakazaka (talk) 00:45, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, precisely. Create a section labeled Status Labs there and move the existing content over.The World's Signature (talk) 01:08, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In that case you should withdraw this AfD nomination, and follow WP:MERGEPROP instructions instead. Bakazaka (talk) 01:14, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.The World's Signature (talk) 01:32, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator. The reason for deletion was to merge it elsewhere. Will follow WP:MERGEPROP instead of deletion.The World's Signature (talk) 01:36, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
