It would appear to me that this website - it is online when I checked as part of WP:BEFORE is still active - fails any number of notability tests, including but not limited to WP:WEBPAGE, and WP:NCORP for relation to its parent companies or subsidiaries, such as they may be.

I note that As always, please do prove me wrong about this!
 * the deletion dicussion was closed 11 Aug 2005.
 * the article was recreated on 28 September 2005
 * Given its almost 20 years existence in WP:ARTICLESPACE, it would appear to me reasonable to review the 2005 deletion.
 * a number of articles link here
 * it would appear to me that it may quite possibly be a plausible Redirect to either an article of sections in an article - and if so which ones?

 * Yeah, I had considered that and gave up, so I PRODded Menta, only to facepalm when Explicit the admin pointed out that I'd missed the PROD in the deletion logs. I might take advice to take that to AfD, too. Until then, I decided it was a long shot and decided to try to G4 this. Instead of a side of WP:TROUT with a decline, reviewing admin Shirt58 decided to take time from  busy admin duties to come to AfD self. A pleasant surprise!
