DELETE - WP NCORP. After thorough analysis of the Meraas Wikipedia page, it is evident that the article does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Meraas, as a subject, does not have significant coverage in reliable, independent sources that are verifiable. The article currently lacks in-depth information and relies heavily on primary sources and promotional materials, which do not comply with Wikipedia's policy on neutral point of view.

Furthermore, the references provided are sparse and do not adequately establish the subject's notability. The absence of multiple, independent, and reliable sources discussing Meraas makes it challenging to verify the information presented or to justify its existence as a standalone Wikipedia article.

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies and United Arab Emirates. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 13:12, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This company is not related to Meraas. The references are notable, as this developer is one of the biggest in the UAE, en par with Emaar and Damac, both of which have Wiki pages. Please clarify on why you think it is related to Meraas? OmarKattan (talk) 07:31, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Although the author was paid to write this article, from a local and regional standpoint, the company is notable as the largest property developer in the Northern Emirates, is owned by the Deputy Ruler of Sharjah as part of the complex business-political relationship in the country, and it's financial strategy has been reported in international and national media, as part of a blueprint and focus on islamic finance like Sukuk. It would be beneficial to add information in the article about the ownership and financial strategy that it is a selling point rather than list projects to avoid making it sound like an advertisement.

Question: you haven't mentioned this in the nom; did you search for other sources including local sources? Jack4576 (talk) 14:54, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Is this nomination for Arada (company) or for Meraas? This AfD is titled Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arada (company), but the text of the nomination is about Meraas. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 17:12, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural keep. Nomination is terribly confusing, since nominator has not made it clear which article they're actually talking about. Without prejudice to renominating, if anyone wishes doing so. CycloneYoris ^talk! 00:32, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I would suggest closing the discussion here and migrating it over to Meraas, since that appears to be the intended target of the nominator. Actualcpscm (talk) 08:49, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
