 * you participated in the last AfD, any additional thoughts? –&#8239;Joe (talk) 13:58, 26 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge with United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs United Nations Department of Global Communications - I said "Keep" before, but nobody else responded. Like I mentioned before, this is a vital arm of the United Nations. Maybe it would help if I linked the three Events pages of Development Business. I was not aware the United Nations provided this, until this AFD arose.  Maybe our other Wikipedians were also not aware of it. — Maile  (talk) 15:35, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge to United Nations Department of Global Communications. According to their history page, Development Business was launched by the United Nations Department of Public Information (now United Nations Department of Global Communications), so a better merge target, since I can't see anything that links this with the UN DESA. is right that this seems significant, but I cannot find any independent reliable sources which would establish notability; the best I can find is this interview, which is not independent. So, failing GNG, a merge seems most appropriate. (I'm surprised that I can't find more on this and wonder if I've missed something - very happy to change my !vote if additional sources are uncovered.) WJ94 (talk) 14:07, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to United Nations Department of Global Communications, with no prejudice against future expansion -- I was also surprised by the lack of SIGCOV sources here. Suriname0 (talk) 03:58, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
