Fails to meet WP:ORGCRITE and WP:ORGDEPTH, article is promotional directory of the company's brands, nothing found in reliable sources, primary and unreliable, profile and directory listing sources. M.Ashraf333 (talk) 13:21, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television, Organizations, and Pakistan. M.Ashraf333 (talk) 13:21, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - The sources Business Recorder, Dawn, BizAsia, Pakistan Insider, and a few others are sufficient to pass WP:GNG. You can't ask better coverage than this for a media group in other rival media sources:(WP:NMEDIA). Though there is some unsourced content in the article to be removed. Insight 3 (talk) 15:04, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. WP:NCORP is the right guideline as this is a media company, completely fails WP:CORPDEPTH and we don't if this company is still active as all of their tv channels are defunct now. Insight 3's refs analysis: Business Recorder article is a "news desk" report, Dawn article is a similar one - the article doesn't mention its author, insider.pk and bizasialive type sources are simply unreliable, not a WP:GNG standard source. 2400:ADC1:468:400:7DD6:C651:21F1:A243 (talk) 19:55, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- "News desk" simply means the report is prepared by several staff members, not that it is sponsored or paid content. Both Business Recorder and Dawn are reliable sources, so no reason to dismiss the sources (See RSN discussion on the matter). Insight 3 (talk) 03:43, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
Keep, agreed with Insight 3 point here. It does have sufficient sources available. TheAnasKhan (talk) 20:11, 18 March 2023 (UTC)- Comment: assessment of the sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M.Ashraf333 (talk • contribs) 13:37, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
