Previous Prod on grounds "No evidence that this company meets the notability criteria." Prod was removed by an IP after adding several references (along with removal of the Notability tag). However the references provided are a combination of official registration, press releases, and references to particular publications in which the company has played a role. These fall short of meeting WP:CORPDEPTH so I'm bringing this to AfD on the same rationale as the Prod. AllyD (talk) 09:03, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- KEEP since the references are to reliable sources.
- IFFCO, which has posted the FourPlus Media magazine 'CookeryPlus' is the parent company of FELDA IFFCO which in turn is considered a major player in the global market, having its roots in the Palm Oil Plantation Cooperative Farmers Movement [1].
- Sanjeev Kapoor who is a contributing writer to CookeryPlus is one of India's best known Chefs and was even invited to the White House recently. He would not associate with a publication unless it held high credibility.
- Mid Day which had carried the article announcing CookeryPlus launch in India back in 2003 was then the highest selling tabloid in Mumbai, and has high credibility..
- It is not often that one media would carry articles regarding other magazines, since they would be considered competition. It is unlikely that you would find articles on FourPlus Media. Rather, it is advised that the company be judged on the basis of the magazines that they have and the quality of content they carry. Suggest that further research is conducted on the magazines OpticPlus, VisionPlus and CookeryPlus. Tbolar (talk) 12:57, 29 July 2012 (UTC) [reply]

- Delete What appears to be a "fashion eyewear publication" that somehow also "designed books", but has no notable affiliations, who's company history appears to be nothing but a timeline, and who's primary claim to fame is a Chef who has been to the White House and has a Twitter account. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH & WP:NN for the company, and the Twitter mention has no relevance & fails WP:TWITTER for that reference as well. In addition, the author seems unsure of the disposition of elements of the company's contributions; "...but seems to have been discontinued in India since then", resulting in a question of WP:SPECULATION as to it's presence in the market.
