None of the sources discuss Multitude in depth. Article is written neutrally, but the in depth sourcing is simply not there. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 14:09, 22 April 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  14:37, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Entertainment, Companies,  and New York.  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 14:15, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete because the subject does not pass WP:N or WP:NCORP. The article was previously draftified for similar reasons (see Draft:Multitude (Podcasting company)). The only reliable and independent source currently cited that contains more than a trivial mention is the Hot Pod source written by Nicholas Quah. I don't think that's enough to meet the expectations of WP:CORPDEPTH. TipsyElephant (talk) 17:02, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi! Thank you and  Please note. I made this comment on the previous draftified version and did not receive a response. I have added several citations in reference to your comments Re: WP:NOTABILITY and independent sources and re-submitted the article with the (podcast collective) edit to the name. Please see the following. Several more independent sources here other than "hot pod." Including:
 * Citation to reference to Multitude produced “Pale Blue Pod” by the New Yorker.
 * Citation to AV Club review of Multitude produced and hosted show “Spirits” episode.
 * Citation to Polygon article re: Join the Party podcast
 * Citation to “Games and Feelings” via Lifehacker
 * Added citation to McLaughlin’s 30 under 30 (which yes, is a Forbes article, but NOT a WP:FORBESCON article and as such is explicitly cited as an acceptable and notable reference. It was written by four staff editors at Forbes.
 * Reference in The Verge re: Hot Pod Summit
 * Further: Multitude is and was mentioned at the time of initial submission in articles at Netflix, WFMT (studs Terkel), WBUR in Boston, NPR’s flagship station. These sources sufficiently meet WP:INDEPENDENT and did exist previously prior to the article being moved to the draft space. These seem to have been overlooked.

 * The New Yorker "Pale Blue Pod" does not even mention Multitude, and even if it did, it wouldn't help establish notability.
 * The other sources are similarly...promo, and not in depth about Multitude collective. If a specific podcast show is notable, that can be an article itself, but showing that it merely exists in real life (I have no doubt about that) is not the same thing as extensive coverage. Please share the two single best article that discuss Multitude specifically.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
