The applicable pages here are WP:Indiscriminate (policy: To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion), WP:Not catalog and WP:Notability#Stand-alone lists (Notability guidelines apply to the inclusion of stand-alone lists and tables. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been. Because the group or set is notable. Editors are still urged to demonstrate list notability via the grouping itself before creating stand-alone lists. Other times, when many similar notable topics exist, it is impractical to collect them into a single page, because the resulting article would be too unwieldy. In that case, a viable option is creating a new list or category for the broader topic and linking to the individual articles from it. As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and is not a directory, repository of links, or means of promotion, and should not contain indiscriminate lists). To find sourcing, I went here and here but could find nothing to suggest there's coverage for a "List of press release agencies" and there's [[Category:List of press release agencies]] instead, and this was the PROD basis in January. The current appearance of "press release agencies" is a concern in WP:Not brochure since it reads like a basic listing, and not a serious encyclopedia article; equally, the lead is simply a copy of Public relations; the link sources are simply about the public relations business and, likewise, are best suited at the relevant page.

"I am puzzled to see the motivation for selecting this one for an AfD", the nom has rapidly nominated several articles I have created for deletion in the last few days. See their recent contributions, which denotes their deletion notices to my talk page for more information. Perhaps I slighted the nominator somehow somewhere, and they are seeking to "get even" by getting my articles deleted. I could be wrong, and I try to assume good faith, but something is awry. I'm a Wikipedia:Autopatrolled user, so new pages I create are automatically approved on the new pages log. Other pages they have nominated for deletion are much older. It seems rather clear what's actually occurring, to me anyway. The nominator is very likely following my edits and working to get my work deleted. See also WP:HOUNDING. Perhaps I will stop creating new articles for some time; that way, I don't have to worry about spurious, knee-jerk nominations such as this, with walls of text copy-pasted from policy/guideline pages, wasting my time defending works that are typically appropriate on English Wikipedia. It's a real time waster. North America 1000 12:45, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
