This Organisation Does not Cite Notable References. All of the references are coming through PR Resources or Directories. VI-007 (talk) 09:09, 21 September 2013 (UTC) — Virgininfatuation (talk • contribs) is a confirmed sockpuppet of Viii007 (talk • contribs). [reply]

Keep All references are notable e.g. Econominc Times, Moneycontrol etc. Yes I agree need more references and details. These resources are not PR/Directories. Company is public limited and listed in BSE and NSE. Company is widely known in Internet world sine 1985.(GKCH (talk) 09:24, 21 September 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Keep, there is doubt about company, since long time in Internet industry and notable in India.(117.212.122.213 (talk) 15:06, 22 September 2013 (UTC)) — 117.212.122.213 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- Delete - Fails WP:GNG per lack of third-party sources. Of the three references in the article, one reference is a press release, the other two are are simply stocks/financial data with no significant coverage whatsoever. - Aoidh (talk) 05:01, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. There have been significant number of third-party coverages for the company. A simple GNews search also shows that. Shovon (talk) 09:52, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- A simple GNews search shows nothing but simple press releases, that does nothing for establishing notability. - Aoidh (talk) 10:33, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Is that so? Why don't you release some PR material to the press and get those published in reputed newspapers? Shovon (talk) 16:41, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That's irrelevant; the article lacks third-party sources. That you believe it's difficult to release press releases has nothing to do with that. - Aoidh (talk) 05:42, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the argument, which I am neither supporting nor opposing, was not that it is difficult to release press releases (anyone can do so for a payment) but that press releases only get picked up by reputed newspapers if the subject is notable. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:39, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It does hint at possible notability, but it comes nowhere close to showing it. They aren't independent sources just because they were picked up by a newspaper, and that's what's required for a subject to warrant an article on Wikipedia. Articles require notability, as shown through third-party sources that are independent of the subject, so that article can be written neutrally. Without those kinds of sources, writing a neutral article is impossible, which is why notability is important; this article does not have that. - Aoidh (talk) 12:02, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment The company history needs better sourcing, but the 1985 stated establishment date for Mangla Chemicals isn't going to be easy to verify online. Meanwhile, I found a couple of additional mentions.[1][2] -- Trevj (talk) 09:12, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I found this link from The Economic Times, which talks about the company's history since its inception in 1985 as Mangla Chemicals. Shovon (talk) 13:48, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Your first link is a copy of a press release that can also be found verbatim in their company reports, this one is about an individual, not a company. - Aoidh (talk) 16:59, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, good reliable secondary sources here. — Cirt (talk) 16:44, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- "Here" meaning what? WP:GNG requires independent sources, and none have been shown. Every single source shown in the AfD is a reprinted press release. - Aoidh (talk) 16:53, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
