Fails WP:NCORP, WP:LISTED specifically says that mentions in WP:RS will make a listed company pass WP:GNG, merely being listed does not inherently give notability. All of the mentions about this company are press release style mentions or promo pieces i.e failiing WP:CORPDEPTH. Without independent sources, this is not notable enough.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Concur that coverage is limited to press releases and their rewrites. Recent, boring business type that rarely generates coverage. Might be notable in a hundred years if it survives and becomes a historical landmark... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:37, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment 'Might be notable in a hundred years if it survives and becomes a historical landmark'? Let's be serious, this is an encyclopedia! No chance for someone to fix and improve this article? Kent Warfield (talk) 23:42, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Multiple independently published sources of presumed reliability are showing, making this a GNG pass, IDONTLIKEIT arguments notwithstanding. Boring? Yep, so what? Carrite (talk) 11:25, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Buried in all the crappy promo pieces and press releases there seems to be a few legitimate articles with decent coverage. Glendoremus (talk) 03:47, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * @User:Glendoremus There are five sources, whihc of them are legitimate articles? MistyGraceWhite (talk) 07:17, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Not in the article now. These seem legit: here, here, here, here, and here. I'd be happy to reconsider if you show me that these are unreliable sources or press releases. Glendoremus (talk) 16:46, 12 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep I worked on this article and had added 4 references to it in January 2018. Just now I rechecked them – two references that are still working are from Dawn (newspaper) and The Express Tribune newspaper. Two references have gone dead which sometimes happens as we all know that edit Wikipedia. They can easily be replaced by the (4) Pakistan Today newspaper and The Express Tribune newspaper references suggested above by Glendoremus. All these major English-language newspapers are considered 'Reliable Sources' by Wikipedia, and Wikipedia guidelines encourage us to use newspapers sources. I thought a 'press release' is something put out by the company itself, not business news coverage of the company itself by the MANY independent newspapers which is the case here.

 * Press releases are put out by the company but sometimes picked up and printed nearly verbatim by some less reliable news sources. I guess it would be easy enough to check by comparing with the press release on the company website. Glendoremus (talk) 19:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
