IBM Research – Australia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I prodded it with "No evidence this company passes WP:NCOMPANY/GNG. Could redirect to IBM research, through it's dubious this sub-lab is a likely searchable term." Prod was declined, an anon redirected it later, that was reverted. Time for an AfD discussion. What makes this research institute separately notable from its parent company (IBM Research)?

 * What is going on here, User:Piotrus? You nominated this article for deletion like a week ago, I responded.  No "prod was declined".  Where did that page go?  Please resurrect it so that others know that all that legitimately happened.
 * Now you are nominating it over all again like it is your first time and I never did. This isn't right.  I am going to leave this same message at the other two pages where you are doing the identical thing.  Yours, 11:54, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * My apologies. I checked that page, then the auto-generated notice that was left on my Talk page on December 30, 2019, which indicated an objection could be left in the form of an Edit Summary, which I did: "There is just a date and location for this lab at the IBM Research page. There is relevant cited content here. The page is not simply "clutter" to be deleted."  Without consensus you then merged the article into IBM Research, which was reverted by another editor, not at all an anonymous user, it was, User:Dicklyon, who has been with the encyclopedia since 2006 and has over 100,000 edits.  My original comment stands on its merits.  Don't pretend none of this is happening.  Yours, Wikiuser100 (talk) 12:07, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete very little independent coverage, could just be included on parent company's page.  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - ( Talk ) -  12:40, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to IBM Research - I don't understand any of the blurb at the top, but this is an easy merge as an alternative to deletion. Some coverage but not enough for its own Australian page - there's plenty of room to put the current text on the main page. Bookscale (talk) 12:42, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Or whatever the proper terminology is.  There is valid content at the page.  Editor time can be better spent cleaning up gop at "In popular culture" sections or other valuable tasks here than this.   Yours, Wikiuser100 (talk) 15:03, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to IBM Research . Content is so brief. The third reference is broke. The fourth and only independant reference is from 2011. Teraplane (talk) 00:41, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge. But we need to see a serious merge proposal and discussion first.  The previous so-called merge that I reverted was just a delete, with the merge target article getting smaller when 6 other articles were deleted.  This was just wrong.  If we don't have a sensible merge plan for the more minor sites, keep them.  For the major sites like Almaden and Zurich, just keep. Dicklyon (talk) 02:32, 10 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete or Merge to IBM Research above. Could also merge or redirect to IBM Research. Doug Mehus T · C  03:46, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
