Acuity Knowledge Partners

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The entity was an offshoot division of Moody's Analytics which was not notable enough in the first place itself i.e., fails WP:NCORP. Later, it got acquired by another organization. The entity has a series of names changes due to a series of acquisitions. Besides lacking notability of its own, it also lacks WP:SIGCOV. Hence, calling for an AfD discussion.

 * Delete None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability failing WP:ORGIND and/or WP:CORPDEPTH. Topic fails NCORP/GNG.  HighKing++ 18:05, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Found references that are establishing the notability of the company. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. CleanAmbassy (talk) 02:39, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The 1st is from the "sites" section of Forbes, fails as pre WP:FORBES. The 2nd is entirely based on an interview with no Independent Content, fails WP:ORGIND. The 3rd is entirely based on this company announcement, also fails WP:ORGIND. The 4th relies on quotations and information provided by company personnel with no Independent Content, also fails WP:ORGIND.  Finally the 5th is entirely based on this Press Release from Moody's and also fails WP:ORGIND. Not a single one of those references meets the criteria for establishing notability.

 * Delete: Per Nom and User:HighKing. This is just another company with no encyclopedia value. With 2019 advertising revenues between the US and England in the $260 BILLION dollar a year neighborhood there is potentially a good reason to create and fight for the inclusion of such articles. I am not stating I think this is the case here but possible. Wikipedia is neither an advertising nor a directory of companies and businesses platform. The English Wikipedia has become a world encyclopedia so a subject needs to be notable on the world-at-large scheme and not just from a select financial or business news aspect. Esomar states it is The market place for business and uses advertising language like a press release such as "Our strength lies in our approach..." (2nd paragraph) which is clearly company promotional. The Economic Times is a press release of one company acquiring another for an undisclosed sum. I could go on but the results will be similar.
