Man Bites Dog (company)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:CORP. 5 of the 6 sources merely confirm winning non-notable sources. LibStar (talk) 00:38, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Eason Chan's FEAR and DREAMS World Tour

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a concert tour, not properly referenced as passing WP:NTOUR. As always, concert tours are not automatically entitled to their own Wikipedia articles just because they happened -- in the exact words of NTOUR, what is required is that the sources "show notability in terms of artistic approach, financial success, relationship to audience, or other such terms", while "sources that merely establish that a tour happened are not sufficient to demonstrate notability."
But as usual for bad articles about concert tours, this is just "tour happened, so here are the set list and the venues, the end", with absolutely none of the content about any noteworthy cultural, creative or social context that NTOUR requires, and it's "referenced" entirely to a single Instagram post rather than any GNG-worthy reliable sourcing.

Keep: I doubt whether a BEFORE was actually conducted prior to this nomination, as the corresponding article on zhwiki [zh] already has 19 sources, all except the first and last of which are news articles from reputable media like Ming Pao[1], Hong Kong Economic Times[2], HK01[3], Oriental Daily News[4], Sing Tao Daily[5], and Ta Kung Pao[6], indicating that there are plenty of accessible sources available. From a quick Google search, I found many sources not only from Hong Kong, but also from Taiwan[7][8][9], China[10][11][12] Singapore[13][14][15], Malaysia[16][17][18], and Thailand[19]. There are also concert reviews, such as from The Straits Times[20] and HK01[21]. I agree with the nom that the current article is in poor shape, containing no sources aside from an Instagram post and consisting solely of a rundown and tour dates. However, AFD is not cleanup. The nom's concerns should be addressed by adding a {{more citations needed}} template instead of directly sending it to AFD. (especially considering that the article was created yesterday by a relatively new editor, there is a greater chance that the page creator is unfamiliar with Wikipedia's citation policies rather than the subject being non-notable.) —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 16:16, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not appreciating the attack here against Bearcat (who is one of our most prolific AfD nominators and can do BEFORE in their sleep, literally), and there's just one source in this article, followed by a no context list of venues and an untranslated track list. This is a very, very poor article titled completely wrong and promotional, and Eason Chan#Tours is also very poorly written. At the very minimum we need a proper translation of the song list and many more sources. I also don't think this is the article creator's first rodeo as they know at the very least how to create bulleted lists and grids, so the 'first article give them a chance' argument doesn't hold water for me. Nate • (chatter) 18:09, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, I appreciate Bearcat's hard work at AFD as well, and I certainly did not intend to attack him. However, I think it is quite obvious that a BEFORE is indeed missing prior to this discussion, especially considering there are literally 17 sources sitting in the Chinese version of the article. A quick search I did also revealed numerous sources in both Chinese and English, and I have only listed a couple of the strongest ones (like concert reviews and foreign media coverage) above, which is already more than enough for a GNG pass. Nate, deletion is not cleanup, and AFD has nothing to do with incorrect title format and poor article quality. We are discussing notability here, and sources not yet included in an article should also be considered. Please review the sources I provided here or on zhwiki before you !vote delete, and it would be even better if you could also do a cursory search, given the absence of a BEFORE in this discussion (especially since I literally found several dozen of them during my search). —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 18:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is my fault that the initial article was not well presented. I've been enhancing the article's quality and adding more sources and citations to demonstrate that the FEAR and DREAMS World Tour deserves its own article. Woodikiw (talk) 06:55, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of ntability for this individual. No independednt sources except the fact of his winning a young entrepreneurs award, which is not in itself notable. Searches show a wealth of social media posts and mentions , but nothing that confirms any notability. Fails WP:GNG Velella ^{Velella Talk} 00:34, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Moneyview

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Reviewed all sources and what I found are press releases, primary sources and passing mentions of the company. As of the time of nomination, sources number one to 8 are mostly press releases, and from number 9 to 19 are mostly primary sources. The few ones that look reliable are not enough to meet WP:GNG or WP:NBASIC. Mekomo (talk) 08:19, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Finance, Business, Companies, and India. Mekomo (talk) 08:19, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Sources are full of PR and sponsored articles WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Fails GNG and NCORP. GrabUp - Talk 08:41, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH. Indian media sources should be viewed carefully, as they often present press releases as news WP:RSNOI, WP:ROUTINE. TC-BT-1C-SI (talk) 09:49, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep: While the article doesn't have good references, the company definitely satisfies WP:CORP. There are a lot more recent articles about the company like [22], [23] and [24]. This company is one of a handful of companies to achieve Unicorn status in India in 2024, and, as a result, has definitely received significant coverage in reputed independent newspapers. It has recently acquired another company, which has led to further coverage on it. It has articles specifically written about it from reputed agencies, even before its Unicorn status, which satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. These include The Hindu, CNBC, Economic Times, and Money Control. There are also articles talking about the company on Indian Express, Inc42, Zee Business, Deccan Chronicle, and others; and, this company has one of India's most popular celebrity actors as a brand ambassador.

Keep: I reviewed all the sources and also found that many links are PR-type links, as pointed out by Mekomo. But it looks like this company recently published a lot of news in notable sources, which are reliable and sufficient to meet the WP:NBASIC and WP:ORGIND criteria as mentioned by Shashwat986. The most recent coverage includes its transition to Unicorn status in 2024, FY24 revenue, and the acquisition of the fintech startup Jify, all reported by reputable independent newschannels.

Delete non-notable company using PR sources to get their article here. Many of the listed sources are copycat of one another. Patre23 (talk) 05:20, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify to include sources found by Shashwat986. There's enough WP:SIGCOV there to satisfy WP:CORP and WP:ORGIND.--DesiMoore (talk) 16:11, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify: The sources don’t meet notability guidelines, but recent coverage does. I’ll make a few changes when I get time. NARESHPERRY → talk 23:29, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not meet ANYBIO as far as I can tell. From a music standpoint, subject's songs have not been featured in any SIGCOV I can find. There is also routine coverage of middle school and high school theater performances from over a decade ago, but I don't see it rising to level of notability.

Premer Somadhi

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Sources are unreliable, and the reviews added to the reception section are the same reviews published twice by both websites, failing NFILM. Additionally, I doubt their reliability. The source BMDB is entirely unreliable as it is a blog website. GrabUp - Talk 08:29, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and Bangladesh. Shellwood (talk) 10:20, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: was remade a year later. Notable cast, notable writer. At the very very least a redirect (writer, list of Bangladeshi films of 1996, even, remake) should be considered and might have been discussed before initiating an Afd: because it certainly can be improved but I am extremely opposed to the deletion of this page. Anyway, this meets WP:NFIC: important in the career of a notable (film) person (Bapparaj), and that's enough to keep a page. -Mushy Yank. 11:35, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it because, recently, a video clip "Chacha, Bari Ghor Eto Shajano Keno? Ar Hena Kothay?" (translate:Uncle, why the house so decorated? and where's Hena?" And and the title song of this film "Premer Somadhi Venge" are widely viral on social media. The film also remade in India's Bengali language film industry Tollywood in 1997 as Bakul Priya. Recently, i edited in this article and removed the unreliable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meghna Jamila (talk • contribs) 17:27, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
