The result was delete. Delete rather than merge - if there's no sources, it's not verifiable, and what are we doing merging unverifiable info into another article? ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 05:58, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Article doesn't seem to meet tougher WP:NCORP requirements for multiple reliable sig-cov sources. There are some sources on vodafone/clearnet with small bits of paradise.net, but a BEFORE check couldn't pick out anything with decent Sig Cov.
I don't believe that the justification used in the original AfD (some 13 years ago) holds up today.
Its name does bring up a lot of noise, so I attempted to use additional terms to hunt something useful - if someone can find a couple of good sources I'll gladly withdraw

- Delete - Subject lacks in-depth coverage in reliable sources. Meatsgains( talk) 00:46, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
- Merge and Redirect I think merge what you can from reliable sources and redirect it too Vodafone New Zealand who now owns what was left of the company. NZFC (talk) 01:24, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:GNG and lacks RS Snowycats ( talk) 16:23, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect as per User:NZ Footballs Conscience. Paradise was an NZ internet provider until it was taken over by Vodafone. Should be incorporated into either the TelstraClear or Vodafone#New Zealand articles. NealeFamily ( talk) 02:02, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- Delete outright since subject distinctly lacks independent notability. The dearth of sources makes it impossible to merge this text onto something else. We do not move infestations around; we confront them. - The Gnome ( talk) 08:02, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
