Asianet Pakistan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is no evidence of satisfying the notability guidelines. No independent sources are cited in the article. The first page of hits from a Google search were: two pages from Asianet Pakistan's own web site, Asianet Pakistan's page on a web site that markets pictures on behalf of subscribers, Facebook, Twitter, this Wikipedia article, Asianet Pakistan's page on a business marketing site, and so it continues on subsequent pages. There does not seem to be any substantial coverage in independent sources. (Note: The original version of the article was blatant spam, created by a single-purpose editor who clearly has a conflict of interest. The article was substantially despammed when a G11 speedy deletion was proposed. A PROD was removed by the creator of the article without any reason being given.)

 * Delete - There aren't any significant sources about the company itself at this time. Google News found one mention as a photo credit here and Google News archives provided several results including one promotional press release about the company signing a partnership agreement with a company. The third to the last result is also a press release mentioning that the company supported press offices affected by a Pakistan earthquake. Aside from that, the other results are press releases that Asianet Pakistan released for their clients. Honestly, it's not surprising that there are few significant results, considering that it is rare to find significant sources about press release companies themselves. Additionally, the purpose of these companies are only to provide press releases for their clients, nothing else. It is possible that additional sources may not be English but rather Punjabi, Pashto or Urdu, but I doubt it as it seems Asianet Pakistan has released English-language works.
