Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --71.163.17.62 (talk) 14:06, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a page in development. Page seems informative and can be developed to comply with Wikipedia standards. I don't see a reason why it would be deleted so quickly. Why not give it some time and see what the author is planning to do with it. Seems like a serious and successful company and the information on the page seems well researched and informative. It is stating facts, so I do not see why it is flagged as purely promotional. 71.163.17.62 (talk) 14:06, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Meets WP:LISTED so notable. Legacypac (talk) 18:24, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Legacypac, this is from last August, no one is saying it doesn't meet GNG, just that it is improperly sourced and needs NPOV editing and MOS fixes. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 18:53, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was just responding to the inquiry at the helpdesk and leaving a comment that will stay here when the page goes to mainspace, which it should soon. Legacypac (talk) 18:54, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a legitimate multi billion dollar company which owned many famous brands. It merged with another company and is now defunct. Therefore the article is written in a historical and informative way. What is the point of having an encyclopedia article about a financial company if you are not allowed to put the companies finances in the article? Sources have been fixed. The complaint is that it sounds promotional because it touts the company's success, but the article clearly outlines the company's epic failures as well. Ksaraf (talk) 13:09, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
