GXO (company)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No evidence this is a notable organization with significant, in depth sourcing. Has gone back and forth in main/draft space so moving it here for discussion. There's a minor walled garden situation going on, but creator has disclosed their COI, so that's mostly not an issue and they're editing in good faith. Star  Mississippi  13:43, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep The amount of coverage is significant, but most of it is press releases or sources that don't indicate notability, or local/regional coverage of specific events in the company's history. However, notability is indicated by https://news.sky.com/story/threat-of-beer-and-fast-food-shortages-as-delivery-drivers-prepare-for-walkouts-12723458 and https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/sep/23/xpo-logistics-dark-legacy-unions-fears-global-spinoff - it was spun off less than two years ago, but it isn't like a startup where coverage often stops after a year or two - because of the company's size and importance, there will almost certainly be more in the future.

 * The WP:CORPDEPTH-grade coverage in this sources is non-zero, it is still on the thin side and more focused on the predecessor company. • Gene93k (talk) 22:43, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:CORPDEPTH, in-depth coverage required in reliable sources to demonstrate notability. M.Ashraf333 (talk) 15:57, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge with XPO, Inc. which is the company it got spun off from. On it's on the coverage is not sufficient. Threevian (talk) 02:35, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge back into XPO, Inc. The coverage cited above largely relates to XPO and GXO being spun off from it. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:10, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:CORP -- Devoke water  20:05, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge with XPO, Inc. I found a few more WSJ articles, but they tend to be more focused on XPO. I think a section on the XPO page might be better for right now.

 * Keep since passes WP:NCORP. gidonb (talk) 01:58, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment Do not merge with XPO, Inc. they are now seperate companies, they will go in different directions i.e. it was GXO who acquired Clipper Logistics not XPO. GXO will make further acquisitions these aquired companies have nothing to do with XPO. Both GXO + XPO are quoted on the stock exchange as seperate entities.

 * Delete this collection of press releases and company-published materials WP:CORPDEPTH. If an adventurous author wants to comply with WP:ORGCRIT and find some foundational  references with all four attributes: (1) significant coverage, (2)  independent, (3) reliable, and (4) secondary source, fine. They should title it GXO Logistics or GXO Logistics Inc. and add NYSE:GXO to the lede. Rhadow (talk) 00:00, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
 * In agreement with the rename recommendation! gidonb (talk) 02:43, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Numerous independent, significant coverage research reports can be found on this major U.S. public company with a simple WP:BEFORE. We normally have the stand-alone article just before or soon after a spinoff, see Constellation Energy, GE HealthCare, Organon & Co. many other examples.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge with XPO, Inc.. The split is very recent. GXO may well become independently notable in the future, but based on the sources provided that has not yet happened. Gnomingstuff (talk) 03:47, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
