As this is a for-profit, the sources need to meet the strict criteria of WP:NCORP to contribute to notability. Several sources begin with "Al Mashhad.. a platform that extends all boundaries bla bla bla", those are promotional announcements failing WP:ORGIND (requiring the content of the sources to independent i. e. "original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject"), often copied from each other. This is a single sentence announcement without SIGCOV. All other sources are about the creation of the company, which, again, fail WP:ORGIND. ~Styyx^Talk? 21:13, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: An article based on announcement coverage for a new start-up "which comes to light before the end year" and featuring uncited claims to notability. (The same new editing account has also created a similar Draft:Al Mashhad Channel on the same venture.) The referenced coverage fails WP:CORPDEPTH; I am not seeing evidence that this particular "Al Mashhad" venture meets WP:NCORP. AllyD (talk) 06:55, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
