Boraie Development

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about an American real estate development company that fails WP:CORP. Apparently the article was created in response to controversies arising from allocation of relief funds after Hurricane Sandy, but even coverage of that is sparse. The company contacted OTRS with concerns about the claims made by some of the New Brunswick local media and I attempted to make it more neutral but ended up with a very "referency" stub whose main feature is something that at best belongs as a paragraph here or here. In my opinion there is no real secondary coverage of the company, and the controversy is not nearly enough to support an article. § FreeRangeFrog croak 04:28, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose : Despite the nominator's focus on Sandy relief funds, the article about Boraie Development covers more. The company has built many multimillion dollars developments in New Brunswick and Newark, two the New Jersey's older cities, notably the tallest building in the first, and the first market rate apartment building in Newark in 50 years. The state policy to redevelop its urban core through "smart growth" and "transit oriented development", has led to incentives which the company has taken advantage public-private partnership. (Actually the creation of the article was inspired by List of tallest buildings in New Brunswick). Have done a re-write. Djflem (talk) 00:34, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment There is no salient claim to notability in the article, because none of the sources provide one. Partnering with Magic Johnson and a single article on that is hardly the kind of "event" that could get the subject past WP:CORP. It's a company that builds buildings, that's it. § FreeRangeFrog croak 04:17, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Explanation of removal of references? Reliable references have twice been removed, once mentioning that "company contacted OTRS with concerns" and another time calling them biased. Why is the reference biased? What is the OTRS?  What are the claims? How are the references being removed used in any way that either support or negate whichever claims are being made?  Can that be explained, please, for the sake of transparency?


 * Appears to satisfy WP:CORP with coverage in New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Star-Ledger, The Press of Atlantic City as corporation and for its projects..(There are also numerous mentions in those newspapers and other regional/national publication and television programs with the attention Boraie got for Sandy funding, which is not the thrust of the article.) New Brunswick Today, a Central Jersey news outlet provides more in-depth information about the company, as would be the case since it's located there, but those references have been deleted. This company had done billions of dollars of business, and is playing an important role in "new urbanism", taking advantage of government incentives to do so. Djflem (talk) 17:20, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
