 * Redirect/Merge with parent company Matrimony.com which appears to be a very notable company in India. pinktoebeans  (talk) 22:14, 29 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep (Article creator) Fulfills wp:GNG and WP:NCORP in its own right and continues to be notable. If the nominator is unhappy with article he is free to add a balance. I suggest this be included, that I found in a minute, further research may lead to more. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 14:46, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * For whatever it is worth, quickly I see at least mentions in three scholarly publications. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 14:56, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * These are only passing mentions about its targeting wealthier clients, and do not back up the website's importance as an entity independent of its parent company. Information on the website and the controversies surrounding it (as you linked) can absolutely be included in Matrimony.com but I do not believe it deserves an article to itself. pinktoebeans  (talk) 12:12, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * The meaning of mentioned in passing is "If you mention something in passing, you mention it briefly while you are talking or writing about something else."Collins. The said research papers are not "talking or writing about something else". Thus Elite Matrimony is not mentioned in passing, as is claimed, as is evident from the titles of the papers: (1) "From arranged to online: A study of courtship culture in India, (2) "Technology driven online matrimonial services: An India-specific review" and (3) "The imagery of Indian matchmaking: Representations of community, class and gender in a transnational online matrimonial market". "Elite Matrimony" is what the research papers are talking about. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 08:06, 9 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge with its parent article per Pinktoebeans. Plus it would help beef up the Matrimony.com (start-class) article. Cordially, History DMZ (HQ ) † (wire ) 19:33, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge with Matrimony.com. It's not notable enough to warrant it's own article and matrimony.com is not large enough to need it's content split into separate articles. Suonii180 (talk) 00:52, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
