Binge (Bangladeshi streaming service)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

None of the sources provided are independent or reliable; instead, they all appear to be press releases. The information in the sources listed is also promotional. Fails WP:GNG. DreamRimmer (talk) 04:52, 6 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I am sorry to say but you are totally wrong. The sources from The Daily Star, UNB, Dhaka Tribune, The Business Standard are very much reliable and not promotional, rather they are informative. I have mentioned these articles so that you can learn about the sources. And let me know where you exactly found the promotional materials. (Obviously mentioning about packages is not promotional because we can see the same in Amazon Prime Video Diptadg17 (talk) 05:45, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Dhaka Tribune said: From now on, viewers from more than 120 countries around the world will be able to enjoy endless content on Binge including live TV, web series, movies, dramas and exclusive originals, reads a press release. Do you think this is neutral? There are numerous such paragraphs in these sources. DreamRimmer (talk) 17:19, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The Dhaka Tribune article is attributed to "Tribune Desk" and not a staff writer. This normally indicates promotion (branded content) or churnalism and should be treated with caution as such. When looking closer, this article posted by Robi.com on the same day contains the same quote that was provided by the company, indicated it in in fact churnalism.--CNMall41 (talk) 21:14, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

 * comment Websites robi.com.bd, Facebook, binge.buzz, thefastmode.com, and advanced-television.com (refs 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, and 12) have no reputation for accuracy and fact-checking that I'm aware of. Turning to the sources published by generally reputable news organizations:
 * Ref 3 "inaugurated through a Facebook live" (content is regurgitated from a press conference)
 * Ref 6 This isn't reporting, it's publicity for an upcoming launch event.
 * Ref 7 "reads a press release", see original at
 * Ref 9 This is mainly about a web series, but includes six sentences about Binge. The origin of the information isn't clear.
 * Ref 10 "marketing lead of its parent company ... told The Daily Star"
 * Ref 11 "said ..., director of Red Dot Digital, which owns the service"
 * Ref 13 Wrong company, this is about Binge (streaming service), an Australian company.
 * Ref 14 "according to a media statement"
 * WP:ORGIND sets an especially high bar for the independence of sources used to demonstrate notability of a company. With the possible exception of ref 9, none of the references are both reliable and completely independent. I have no objection to editors in good standing like Diptadg17 recreating a topic that has just been speedily deleted (G5) because it was created by a block-evading sockpuppet, but anyone doing so should be sure that the topic meets WP:NCORP. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:48, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete per Worldbruce's source analysis. -- আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 20:01, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - The only weight I would give towards WP:ORGCRIT would be to The Daily Star. However, I do not think they would be enough. Most of these seem like churnalism. Even if we did consider them to meet ORGCRIT, it would not be enough as it is a few routine announcements in a single publication. See my comment above about the Dhaka Tribune. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:28, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
