Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MobilePay


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Keep under WP:SNOW (because strictly speaking I can't withdraw the nomination and speedy keep; WP:SK ground 1 can only be invoked if there are no other !votes for deletion). I'm happy to accept the assurances I've received about the sources, and I don't believe it would be possible to close this debate in any other way.— S Marshall T/C 02:05, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

MobilePay

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This content worries me a bit. It was created in 2016, as a content translation, and then deleted under speedy deletion criterion G11 (in August 2016). In September 2016, it returned, again as a content translation. This version does not appear to be G11-able to me, but I don't think it's well-sourced, nor was I able to find the kind of sources that would enable me to write a proper Wikipedia article. Can we delete and salt please? — S Marshall T/C 20:08, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I've found nothing in the way of third-party sources. If anyone can find a source or two, it could be merged into the Danske Bank article but it doesn't seem notable enough for an article of its own. — Non-Dropframe    talk  20:16, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Of course this article should not be deleted. MobilePay is a social phenomenon of considerable importance in Denmark. It has had a remarkable impact on the way individuals do small business together, in many cases eliminating the need to carry cash. The number of registred users passed 3 million in May, 2016, which is more than half the population. You cannot ignore this phenomenon. That's why I translated the article, since it is available on Danish Wikipedia, but was missing from the English. What do you mean you cannot find any sources? A google search like "mobilepay antal brugere" yields more than 22,000 hits, and they are NOT from Danske Bank. Of course this requires that you can read Danish :) gjensen (talk) 21:56, February 2017 (UTC)
 * Please could you link any two independent, reliable sources, in Danish or otherwise? I will immediately withdraw this AfD nomination if you do.— S Marshall  T/C 00:35, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Stuart, there's already three in the article, and there's plenty of more to add. WP:WDAFD? — Sam Sailor 00:40, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you just confirm to me that you speak Danish and you're content to assure me those sources are reliable and independent?— S Marshall T/C 00:46, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I can, but could you add a source assess and argue they are not? The three sources already present are both WP:IR and WP:IND. Could you just confirm to me that you speak Danish? — Sam Sailor 01:00, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't. You do, and I trust you.  :)  Withdrawing.— S Marshall  T/C 02:01, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep sufficient significant coverage in independent, reliable sources is available to pass WP:GNG. Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. — Sam Sailor 00:43, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
