GMA Worldwide

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article wholly supported by primary references. Searches turned up virtually nothing except for press releases and brief mentions. Should be a redirect to GMA Network, the parent company. Also has the flavor of WP:CORPSPAM.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:00, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Onel5969 Hi Im Kazaro, GMA Network and GMA Worldwide is a separate company. GMA Network is an television channel in the Philippines, and this might not considering being nominated for deletion since the article I have created shows a reference or reliable sources. And This apply to all articles I have seen.Kazaro (talk) 06:28, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Articles require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic.
 * So that means, several references - and not their own website.
 * Also, an article must be neutral. This says, clients and partners can expect a consistent stream of well-crafted programs - which is pure spam. 86.20.193.222 (talk) 06:38, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Redirect to GMA Network: wholly promotional and not independently notable. --Slashme (talk) 08:29, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to GMA Network. Seems to be just the network's licensing arm. News about GWI seems to be focused on either the celebration of its 20th anniversary and them securing rights to air certain shows at their parent network. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 01:14, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge to the parent company: GMA Network (company). --Bluemask (talk) 03:43, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Slashme, This could be the good resource about the company, and also this company could be found on Bloomberg where it say's it's a private company. Kazaro (talk) 04:01, 3 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - the first is simply a press release on an industry site, while the second is just a business listing.  Onel 5969  TT me 11:03, 3 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Redirect to GMA Network (company). Not notable, references came from just a primary source, weasel words, peacock. Hollyckuhno (talk) 04:20, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment re copyvio I have reduced this "article" to a single sentence. The entire contents had been pasted verbatim from http://www.gmaworldwide.tv/aboutus. Frankly, the foundational copyvio would qualify it for speedy deletion per G12. Voceditenore (talk) 10:37, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I was at work when I looked into this article, where I can't access my copyvio program. Meant to do that, and quite honestly slipped my mind.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:26, 4 March 2017 (UTC)


 * The author of this article has now also created List of mergers and acquisitions by GMA Network Inc. - it may have similar problems. 86.20.193.222 (talk) 15:00, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge to GMA Network (company), notability of GMA Network is not automatically WP:INHERITED by GMA Worldwide. The status of GMA Worldwide to GMA Network is irrelevant, if its a networking arm/division or a separate affiliated company. The company/entity does not meet WP:GNG--Hariboneagle927 (talk) 05:39, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment My interpretation of ATA and PRIMARY was that they are not verboten, and the absence of secondary sources does not qualify for automatic AfD.L3X1 My Complaint Desk 15:55, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge as per Hariboneagle927 above. -- HighKing ++ 19:17, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to GMA Network (company) -- there's nothing to merge. Delete history due to copyvio. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:09, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
