The result was no consensus with WP:NPASR. The article was changed during the AFD from covering the company to covering the magazine, so the nomination statement and the !votes no longer match the article's subject. SoWhy 06:18, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG. The existing references are all either derived from press releases around mergers or are to enable verification of subsidiaries (but most of these fail verification). I have searched for more and better references but found none. Looking at the page history Legacypac made the case that "regional print business papers are notable", however this article cannot meet WP:NPERIODICAL because it is about a parent company rather than any particular publication. It would have to meet the criteria for WP:GROUP. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 07:56, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Looking through the references, I don't see any meaningful depth of coverage (WP:CORPDEPTH) in independent sources. Deli nk (talk) 12:25, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep most of the history is pre internet so online searches are not definative. It still appears in print, and well not a big circulation daily, this page is not promotional or spam. Legacypac (talk) 13:37, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete -- a WP:Promo article on an entity with no indications of notability or significance. No sources to meet WP:CORPDEPTH have been presented at this AfD and I don't believe they exist. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:20, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
