Alan (company)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A French health-insurance start-up with 20 employees. Like lots of other self-promoting attempts to get onto Wikipedia, though this one is propped up by French churnalism, warmed-over press releases, and primary sources. Calton | Talk 13:53, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak keep For now we can keep, article have some Independent referencesbut mostly are not in English Heshiv (talk) 06:24, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The problem isn't the "non-English" part, it's the "churnalism"/"warmed-over press release"/"not in-depth" part, which you can get a sense of even through Google Translate. --Calton | Talk 13:34, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete, I happen to concur with the nomination for deletion. It's essentially an advert for the company that whilst well written, factual and sourced, does not actually strengthen the case for notability and subsequently does not suggest inclusion as an article is warranted. By the article's reckoning, there were under 8000 health customers as of April so doesn't seem large enough yet to be able to establish notability. Bungle (talk • contribs) 09:08, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't appear to be any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 20:18, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - A non-notable company that does not meet WP:CORP. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:37, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Company is notable in France, I have seen pages with translation from the parent articles, not sure if we can base an article on EN Wikipedia from foreign language notability. Mia Watson (talk) 16:33, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * 'Delete If it were notble in France or anywhere else it would be notable for the purposes of the enWP, if it met our standards. But it is not--it fails our current standard of NCORP. The most that might be said is that it might possibly be notable someday, which is not enough.  DGG ( talk ) 04:55, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
