Group FMG

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Looking at the references, none except the NYT are notable, reliable sources. The NYT article is primarily about another companies acquisition by Group FMG, not group FMG itself. Skrelk (talk) 08:03, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Divided - I'm giving a lot of thought to this one because my searches have provided several results but the bottom line appears to be that their biggest accomplishment appears to be Ceros. Google News searches provided this (mentioned in the columns January & August), this, this, this, this and this. Several of these news articles have said "FMG" is short for "Fresh Media Group". A different search including the full name provided more results here with several of them being acquisitions from 8 years ago (Vision, Devil7 and ISDN Media) and are through the same sources, PrintWeek or press releases. I also found a deal with American Media Inc. and this article from 2007 suggests they were originally based in London but a deal with an Indian company created connections to India and the United States. This also mentions one of their former employees, who nows works at Wyndeham Press Group. It seems they haven't been very active recently but I found this Pod1 deal with Fluid, Inc. which Pod1 appears to be the most recent FMG acquisition in June. The Exec Vice President, David Bonthrone talks about the Pod1 acquisition here but aside from that, it didn't receive much attention. A News search with the CEO, Dilip Keshu, provided several press releases. I'm divided, I think they haven't achieved much notability despite these acquisitions but I also think the article could be improved a little through adding them, especially with large coverage from PrintWeek. I would like to hear what other users think. SwisterTwister   talk  20:28, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
