None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability. The references in the article are invariably based on company announcements and PR. References fail WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. Happy to revisit this nomination if anyone finds good references.  HighKing++ 20:41, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm on the fence with this one. I'm not sure if the nominator noted down the previous AfD and looked at the sources that were provided, however since then I cannot find any sort of major press release regarding the firm. Nightfury 13:40, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * since the date of the last AfD in 2015, the WP:NCORP guidelines have clarified what is meant by "Significant Coverage" WP:CORPDEPTH and "Independent Content" WP:ORGIND in paricular. Therefore unlike the previous AfD, references based on company announcements or mentions-in-passing, etc, are no longer deemed to establish the notability of organizations/companies.

 * Delete per nom. Not a notable company. Spleodrach (talk) 10:48, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. The current sources in the article are either typical corporate announcements, PR, or articles about a different subject, GoCar, whose notability is not inherited by ICR. Some additional references to ICR are out there in the news, as a commenter in the previous deletion discussion raised, but these are all trivial mentions of ICR within an article on a different subject, or reporting on typical corporate activities like annual performance - not substantial enough to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. The least trivial of these, which was provided in the previous deletion discussion, is Thrifty owners agree to bail out rival ICR - Sunday Times, The (London, England) - Sunday, May 16, 2010, which perhaps suggests a bit of notability but certainly not enough to meet the GNG. I did encounter some more substantial articles on the owner (?), Colm Menton, who might themselves be notable . -M.Nelson (talk) 11:02, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
