The result was delete. The statement that this is a well known company has some merit, but the article itself is clearly promotional and written by the company's people, and credible evidence of reliable independent coverage is missing at this time. Guy (Help!) 15:15, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Dalmia Group

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an article I believe is better to delete or redirect to Ramkrishna Dalmia (probably better redirect to save it and mention at founder's article) as it seems the company is not notable. I looked through links listed here and the few news links there are barely mention the company (much less significant and in-depth) and almost half of the links are primary with others being simple links. Books found several links but looking through until page 6 I found nothing outstanding aside from confirming some of the companies' subsidiary businesses. A News search and Highbeam found nothing that looked outstanding either. Searches at The Hindu, Hindustan Times, Times of India and India Express all found no results. The article has basically remained the same since April 2007 and has read more like a personal page (not to mention, it seems Dalmia family members including creator have edited the page) and I don't see much possibility for improvement. The only good thing I could find to come closer to confirm the $5 billion turnover was this and it says they are the family holdings. SwisterTwister  talk  05:16, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - no references at all, let alone any reliable sources.--Rpclod (talk) 13:49, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep It is a well known industrial group in India. Yes, it needs references. There are numerous references in books and news reports. Note that they are generally referred to as the Dalmias, rather than the Dalmia Group. Malaiya (talk) 03:47, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
