Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Companies
![]() | Points of interest related to Companies on Wikipedia: Portal – Category – WikiProject – Alerts – Deletions – Assessment – To-do |
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Companies. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Companies|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Companies. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Doesn't seem to pass WP:ORG notability guidelines. All three cited sources seem to be WP:CORPTRIV. Searching online, I failed to find any WP:CORPDEPTH coverage.

Non-notable development studio and contested WP:PROD. The article lacks quality coverage as evidenced by a strong lean on primary sources and user-generated coverage. The studio's individual works are non-notable. Generally has an LLM output tenor as reflected by the AI focus of the studio's works, relevant due to the extent of uncited content.

- "Non-notable" appears to be very subjective here. According to Steamspy (https://steamspy.com/app/593730) just one of their games has an estimated 20000 sold copies. I would consider this "notable".
- There is plenty of cited secondary sources in the references from people not affiliated with the indie company.
- And "LLM output tenor" makes no sense.
- DCorian (talk) 06:05, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Check out the WP:GNG if you get a chance. Notability has to do with the breadth and depth of coverage to substantiate the topic and is not really about the popularity of the subject matter. Please see WP:USERG for why IMDB and YouTube videos are not good evidence of notability. The only source here that is secondary and potentially reliable is an indie games zine about one of the titles the studio has created. VRXCES (talk) 06:14, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Then what exactly constitutes "significant coverage"? How many "reliable, independent, non-user generated" sources is required for a topic to be considered notable? For the informational articles presented do not seem to be specific in this regard. (Further hence, why "notable" seems to be subjective here.)
- Steamspy is not user-generated, and the data is aggregated from the Steam platform. Would this count as a reliable secondary source? DCorian (talk) 06:32, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Let's make sure we are talking about the same thing - that [reliable sources + significant coverage + independent of the subject] support notability and not that reliable sources substantiate facts. The objective here is to figure out if a topic has recieved enough coverage to merit an article in an encylopedia so that its information is in-depth and reliably independent of the subject. Yes, its unfortunate it is a subjective exercise, but that is part and parcel of how sourcing is assessed and evaluated - the guidelines are Wikipedia policy and there is no small amount of guidance to help. Completing the subjective exercise with consensus of the community is the whole point of this discussion.
- Depth of significant coverage for notability is laid out pretty clearly in WP:SIGCOV. Reliability for video game notability has some concrete examples on WP:VG/S, which suggests SteamSpy can be used to complement other sources when discussing sales figures, albeit that is not really coverage in any sense and wouldn't be useful to prove notability. On the number of significant sources, there is no hard and fast rule, but essays like WP:THREE make this point: if you were to take the best three sources available for the subject matter, would they strongly suggest it has broadly recieved in-depth secondary coverage? Unfortunately the answer to that question is fairly unambiguously a 'no'. VRXCES (talk) 07:27, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

- Delete Wikipedia is not an advertising tool; studios must pass WP:NCORP. This does not include popularity except as reflected by the amount of significant coverage from reliable sources. The third party sources appear to either be user-generated or unreliable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:13, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Keep - Primary and secondary sources exist (plenty of which are not "user-generated" and should be considered "reliable", see below). The studio does not have an "AI focus" as their content has been clearly available long before AI became publicly and readily accessible. Their focus has been primarily video games, which is clearly evident. So, this claim makes no sense and is unfounded, and is not relevant anyways as there is no stipulation against people or companies who might use AI.

- There is no reason for this article to be deleted, as it does contain verifiable third-party sources. Though I admit it probably needs to be written better to conform better to Wikipedia standards and all the sources used to be added. I am more used to finding and correcting errors than writing whole articles.

- These are entirely user-generated sources, primary sources, or just not reliable. Please actually read the policies you are referred to rather than charging ahead with misconceptions. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:56, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- More than half are from data aggregated from the Steam platform (steamspy, steamdb, and stmstat). This is not "user-generated" as users and/or crowd-sourcing did not have a hand in the creation of the information. It is pure, unbiased data and stats. And the article from the indie games journalist and the entry in "https://www.moregameslike.com/" is not either, they are legitimate coverage of the company (or at least the company's games). I read the policies carefully. DCorian (talk) 20:04, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- On the data, it just isn't significant coverage. If the best two sources are coverage about one of the games the studio made and not the studio itself from an obsucre indie zine and a generic description from a recommendation site with no author, far from the mainstream coverage sought, it is really, really hard to see how the sources establish notability. As you note, there is no coverage of the company, just the company's games. VRXCES (talk) 21:50, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- That sounds overly specific and unintuitive, as talking about what a company did/made is by extension talking about said company itself. One page about the company and the things it made that was covered by third-party sources makes more sense over several pages about the individually covered things the company made. But, whatever. I cannot find anymore sources specifically about the company itself than those listed at the moment after my digging (or at least those that are actively live on the net still), other than what has already been found, its own fandom page, social media, and website, so do whatever it is you need to do, I suppose.

- Delete. With all due respect to the reviewer, I think it was a mistake to accept this(I don't fault them in any way, no one is perfect). The coverage is all routine business coverage. The writer did what most company employees do- they tell us what they want us to know about their company and what it does- instead of summarizing what independent sources choose to say about the company(WP:ORGDEPTH). I don't oppose returning it to draft but I don't think there is a high likelihood this can be fixed, which is why I came down as delete. 331dot (talk) 13:55, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect to Skull Island: Rise of Kong. Para ser justos, the Spanish Wikipedia page does have some good coverage even if that coverage was dedicated to furnishing a fairly straight development history. Looking at the coverage, there is almost an interesting and notable article to write here about the foundation of the studio and the poor conditions that gave rise to the disastrous release of Skull Island. But as it stands, that really is a single topic better dealt with within Skull Island: Rise of Kong. It falls short, sadly. Is there anything more broadly focused about the studio like the ABC article out there? Otherwise, strongly suggest not redirecting to MonsterBag: that article has obvious notability issues too.

The company has significant coverage in reliable sources WP:GNG: The article demonstrates notability under Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline (WP:GNG) through considerable coverage in multiple independent, reliable secondary sources, such as MIT News, TechCrunch, and Automation World. The citations provide in-depth coverage of Tulip Interfaces’ operations, technological innovations, and industry impact. These sources are independent of the subject, meet Wikipedia’s reliable source criteria (WP:RS), and go beyond trivial mentions, establishing Tulip’s significance in the industrial software and IIoT sectors.

Lack of sources that prove notability. Basically it only currently appears notable for designing a couple of sports games.

- Delete. The three sources given are the company's website, and two links about the game Baseball Mogul. The gamespot link doesn't have anything significant on it (here's what I got on the archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20210830220556/https://www.gamespot.com/games/baseball-mogul-2007/news/), the gamershell link says that Baseball Mogul was the best selling PC baseball game for two years in a row (https://web.archive.org/web/20080207062631/https://gamershell.com/companies/sports_mogul/374303.html). The second article could be added to the Baseball Mogul article. Per WP:PRODUCT, this article could be merged into Baseball Mogul (though that article has mostly dependent coverage). I've proposed Football Mogul for deletion, since it has only dependent coverage or insignificant coverage from IGN and Gamespot. Truthnope (talk) 21:40, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Article about a company, not properly sourced as passing WP:CORP criteria. As always, companies are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage and analysis about them -- but the sourcing here consists almost entirely of coverage of general business trends in which the company and/or its staff are quoted as a provider of soundbite or financial data.
But we're not looking for sources in which the company is quoted as a provider of information about other things, we're looking for sources in which the company and its operations are themselves the thing being covered and analyzed by other people.
The article also recently underwent a heavily advertorialized rewrite (of the extreme overuse of bolding variety) by an editor with a likely WP:COI -- but reverting those edits wouldn't solve the problem, as the older version wasn't neutrally written or properly sourced either.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the company from having to pass GNG and CORP on much better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 12:37, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

- Keep — This is not a case of “passing mentions.” MyLogIQ has provided the underlying data for The Wall Street Journal’s annual CEO Pay Study and interactive graphics for more than a decade, a recurring use that goes far beyond trivial citation. Coverage also appears in The Economist, NACD Directorship, Agenda, and major outlets like Bloomberg and CNN, as well as academic sources (Harvard Law Forum, Vanderbilt Law Review). This breadth and recurrence across independent, reliable sources establishes clear notability under WP:ORGCRIT.
Note: I am affiliated with MyLogIQ (disclosed on my User Page). — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarketTrendsEditor (talk • contribs) 12:55, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- Providing the data doesn't constitute GNG-worthy coverage. We're not looking for news articles in which MyLogIQ is the provider of information, we require sources in which MyLogIQ is the subject that other people are talking or writing about, and nothing short of that counts at all. Also, if you have a conflict of interest, then you're not supposed to be editing the article at all, especially not to advertorialize it or impose extreme and improper overuse of bolding. Bearcat (talk) 15:57, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Being hired by the Wall Street Journal and other media outlets to analyze data and then have that analysis covered in news media is not the kind of independent WP:SIGCOV that results in a WP:NCORP pass. Not seeing any evidence here of coverage that meets WP:ORGCRIT. Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:10, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
Just to clarify a point raised above: the Wall Street Journal’s annual CEO pay study is not a case of MyLogIQ being “hired” for consulting. The Journal independently selects and publishes this work because of the structured datasets we provide, and it has done so for over a decade, producing recurring features and interactive graphics built on MyLogIQ data.
This is similar with the Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF), which based its 2016 audit fee report on MyLogIQ datasets, and with academic publications such as the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance (2020) and Vanderbilt Law Review (2022). These are independent uses and analyses, not commissioned work, and they demonstrate the kind of significant coverage and reliance that WP:GNG and WP:ORGCRIT anticipate.
On the point about WP:ORGCRIT, the guideline requires “significant coverage in reliable, independent sources,” which does not require a dedicated company profile. Harvard Law, Vanderbilt Law Review, FERF, and the Wall Street Journal’s recurring CEO pay studies are examples of non-trivial, independent coverage that satisfies this standard.
That said, I acknowledge my COI and leave it to uninvolved editors to determine the outcome. If consensus does not support a standalone article, I would support a redirect rather than deletion, so readers searching for the company can still locate it in the context of corporate governance data providers. Suitable redirect targets could be Corporate governance of public companies or SEC filing, since those topics directly reflect the areas where MyLogIQ is most frequently cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarketTrendsEditor (talk • contribs) 12:32, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject.

This was AFD'd in the past and the article's notability problem still stands. Two shortened footnotes did not link to any readable material, two unreliable websites including Giant Bomb as sources and three sources reporting on said titles' sales where the subject was NOT mentioned in any way due to contract development led to their involvement not being well known. One source about Ikari Warriors for the NES that is a short summary of a YouTube video. Doesn't pass WP:ORGSIG at its current state. Go D. Usopp (talk) 08:37, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Video games, Companies, and Japan. Go D. Usopp (talk) 08:37, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose: The sources include reliable sites and books, and Giant Bomb is merely one of many sources provided for the company's name, not for any specific, unverifiable information about it. It was a common practice in Japanese game development at the time (see the controversy regarding audio credits attribution in early Capcom games such as Street Fighter, or the whole situation with Xevious' developer name being hidden) not to give proper credits to developers or even development studios, but that doesn't have to follow us into the modern era now that this information is actually known. Websites such as Hardcore Gaming 101, that I think go about as in-depth as you one in topics such as gaming, have covered this company and could be added as sources if necessary. Why the sudden urge to delete? The article could merely be improved with additional sources (including in the Japanese language) if desired, but the notability of the article in the context of Famicom history seems evident to me. --Dynamo128 (talk) 09:30, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- The coverage in these source provide notability to the games mentioned, but not the studio behind them that is not mentioned in said sources. Independent non-inherited notability is the key here, of which this particular developer has next to none. The Ikari source isn't reliable either. Go D. Usopp (talk) 09:34, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Just adding something slightly skewing on the side of Delete.

- Delete The sourcing is not strong. Databases and blogs are helpful resources for readers but for Wikipedia they are user-generated research and not in themselves any indicia of notability. If you actually read the Kent book [1] you may be surprised to find Micronics are not mentioned at all; it's being cited on the inference that games they were involved in sold well for their publisher. So there really isn't anything here for now. The article itself says it all, really: Owing to the secretive nature of the company, often working without credits attribution, little is known about the exact number of employees and capital throughout most of its existence. Because there aren't any strong sources, there isn't really much to merge, but that is an WP:ATD option. VRXCES (talk) 23:33, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- Weak delete. Editing articles on retro games for as long as I have, there seems to be a lot of these companies from the 1980s and 1990s, especially Japanese ones, that developed a lot of widely-reviewed and known games but what goes on behind the scenes and the company is unknown. Manley & Associates, Eastridge Technology, Radical Entertainment (in their NES and SNES days), Sunsoft (sorta), Bits Studio, Bits Labratory (who did the Ghostbusters NES game and helped SquareSoft with King's Knight), Imagineering Inc., and Gray Matter. It really sucks and is an awkward situation, kind of like all those actors and actresses that get a LOT of supporting roles in several notable movies and TV shows, but barely any sources exist that are entirely about them. You would think, with how often Micronics ported Capcom arcade classics to the NES, info about them would be reported better than this. The reason my Delete isn't that strong, however, is that the best thing I could think of would be to include perspectives about their NES ports of games like 1942, as those do get a lot of coverage, particularly criticism, from journalists. This might just be because we're all living in the West and thus old Japanese sources are much harder to find, but given what we've seen, it's not satisfactory. User:HumanxAnthro (BanjoxKazooie) 12:21, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- To add, an Archive.org search using the Japanese name of the company only gave me a passing mention in one late 1980s Japanese magazine. Far from satisfactory. User:HumanxAnthro (BanjoxKazooie) 12:27, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

I will do a cleanup of the article when I have the time, but here are various examples of newspaper coverage: Staten Island Advance Sun, 09 Mar 1986 ·Page 86;The Palm Beach Post Fri, 21 Mar 1986 ·Page 17;San Francisco Chronicle Sun, 24 Aug 1986 ·Page 130;Florida Today Wed, 22 Oct 1986 ·Page 28;Press of Atlantic City Sun, 03 Aug 1986 ·Page 76;Hull Daily Mail Fri, 28 Feb 1986 ·Page 2;The Miami Herald Mon, 17 Mar 1986 ·Page 179 I would say this is a varied range of papers and they're all independent and reliable. For some of these sources, the coverage is less extensive and for others it is quite detailed, but all show a focus on the airline.

[5] Forbes. Coverage is not limited to industry trades: The Economic Times reported the suspension of operations, sanctions and an alleged illegal activity [6]. Here is the detailed editorial Vector media article dedicated to Gr8 Tech and all perturbagtions with indudstrial analysis [7]. Here is another good coverage from the tech media talking about closing, sanctions, activity in CIS.. [8].

Fails WP:NCORP due to the lack of reliable sources on the subject. The previous AfD discussion was closed with "no consensus" but brought up concerns of the quality of reliable sourcing used in the article. At the time of writing, the majority of the cited sources are routine business announcements, such as financing developments (ref 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 24), acquisitions (ref 7, 8, 9, 10, 19, 20, 21), and business partnerships (ref 15, 16, 25, 26), that fail WP:CORPDEPTH.
Regarding the other, more substantial cited sources: Gheus noted in the discussion that ref 1 contains a disclosure for a paid article; the bulk of ref 2 is an interview with the CEO; and much of the text of ref 4 is based on the outlet's interview with the co-founders (e.g., "according to the business partners").

- Bridget you have not provided specific reasoning for 32 sources in a meaningful way; only the five listed in the table. If you wish to cite WP:CORPDEPTH as a rationale you actually need to do a SIRS analysis for every source in the table. Listing a bunch of sources in your nomination and then vaguely nodding towards CORPDEPTH without actually doing a proper SIRS analysis isn't going to cut it. It doesn't sufficiently explain your thinking. If you want to claim CORPDEPTH put it in the table and give us a real analysis of why it doesn't meet SIRS.

Fails WP:NCORP. No significant coverage of this hotel brand in reliable sources. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 13:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies, Travel and tourism, and South Africa. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 13:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
Delete: as the article currently stands, only 2 sources are not dead, and one of those sources isn't particularly focused on the company itself, but rather a different hotel it was forced to by as part of abusiness rescue
. – Daℤyzzos (✉️ • 📤) 20:40, 8 August 2025 (UTC)- Recent edits to the article have added sources that may indicate the subject meets WP:NCORP, so I now feel draftifying the article is a more suitable option. – Daℤyzzos (✉️ • 📤) 20:45, 11 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, I do think it provides basic knowledge of what the hotel is. I can try add in some more information Joshilerox (talk) 13:19, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Joshilerox, the issue with the article is not that it fails to provide basic knowledge of what the hotel brand is (that would never be grounds for deletion on its own), but rather that the article fails to demonstrate notability as per WP:NCORP. That guideline states that
A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
If progress is made on the article to demonstrate it meets that criterion, deletion will not be necessary. Hope this helps! – Daℤyzzos (✉️ • 📤) 20:32, 8 August 2025 (UTC)- @DaZyzzogetonsGotDaLastWord Looks like a G20-related event has held here, not sure whether this is reliable secondary source or not.

- Hi @Liuxinyu970226 Thank you so much for the feedback; I will look out for some more reliable sources to make the page more trusted and cited. Joshilerox (talk) 07:49, 11 August 2025 (UTC)
- I have added in new citations and this should hopefully emonstrate notability. Joshilerox (talk) 08:12, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

- Comment - Looks like they are owned by Warwick Hotels and Resorts according to this. No comment on notability at the moment but an WP:ATD could be selective merging which I will volunteer to do if closed as such. Just ping me. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:32, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect to Mike Ruiz
Deleteredirect as per below I'm unable to locate any sources that meet WP:NCORP/GNG criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 19:04, 20 August 2025 (UTC) - Redirect to Mike Ruiz - Better covered on Mike Ruiz, as all sourcing seems to discuss the subject in the context of Mike Ruiz. Does not otherwise meet WP:GNG. Cheers, Suriname0 (talk) 21:30, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: The term "Photobook" is not a primary topic for the magazine being discussed here. PhotoBook (magazine) might be a redirect to Mike Ruiz though. Current content can be added to a new section on Mike Ruiz Asteramellus (talk) 20:40, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
- Might I ask what the primary topic is then, are you saying Photo book? IgelRM (talk) 13:08, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
