Fairground Gaming

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This was an online gaming holdings company, however it has now been placed into liquidation. The company no longer exists. The casinos have been bought back by the original owners. The casinos themselves have no notability: see successful AFDs on other Microgaming casinos and  for past AFDs.
 * Weak Delete - one third-party source (BBC News) is cited, but ideally more sources are needed to establish notability per WP:CORP, which requires "multiple non-trivial coverage in independent sources". The fact that the company no longer exists is not in itself a reason for deletion, but I agree that casino businesses are not inherently notable, unless they pass WP:CORP. Delete therefore, unless further sources are added by the end of this AfD. Wal  ton  Vivat Regina!  18:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep, update. Easily met WP:CORP, now article needs to say "was".  If all the assets went somewhere else, it could be redirected there, but we have Category:Defunct gambling companies for a reason. 2005 01:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge - Into Safe Port Act. Has two decent sources, but all they really say is that the company shut down due to the Safe Port Act.  &mdash;dgies tc 01:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
