Keep:the subject of the article meets WP:GNG and WP:NCORP because it has significant independent secondary media coverage. The reason that only one award won by the subject is not significant enough to make it notable does not apply because awards are not part of the primary notability guidelines. But this same award has made the subject more notable because the subject received significant coverage when it was bestowed with the award. Kindly keep, do not delete. John combo ( talk) 6:21, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Keep: the organization is notable for a WP entry based on a quick search conducted and the analysis of some of the sources cited in the article. That the organization has won only an award should not be the determinant of its notability as there are thousands of notable organizations for WP entry without an award per WP guidelines. This award is an added advantage to the notability of the subject because it received significant mentions in independent secondary sources when it was honoured with the award. See these: [ [1]] [ [2]]. The subject also received significant mentions in independent secondary sources when it was appointed PR Agency of what appears to be a reputable conglomerate financial institution. Checks in some of the sources cited show that the appointment followed a competitive process in which a number of PR firms participated as can be seen here [ [3]] [ [4]] . The financial institution that appointed the subject of this article is an independent organization and its announcement of the subject as its PR agency in secondary sources should count for the notability of the subject. Jokolis ( talk) 11:32, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Keep: the organisation meets WP:NCORP based on the sources available. Maco Paco ( talk) 6:48, 18 July 2020 (UTC)- Comment A PR company has managed to generate PR about the fact that it does PR. That’s all we have here. The sources repeat the same press releases verbatim. This is promotional junk, not in-depth coverage by independent journalists. Mccapra ( talk) 04:50, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I agree that the three "keep" "votes only have a few hundred edits between them; while there's no minimum edit-count, of course, it does rather suggest possible inexperience with our deletion process (particularly when they are all presenting variations on
WP:ATADD. Hpefully the closer will take this into account...
