Nightline (Couriers)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not notable company that does not meet WP:N or WP:CORP. Non-notable without reliable third part sourcing. It was once speedied per WP:CSD A7 after being tagged for WP:CSD G11 as can be seen seen here. I PRODed, article creator deprodded. The article is now much truncated, not advertising, but sourced only from the subject's webpage. Selfpublished sources can be used, but not as the basis for the article. I searched Google for "Nightline courier", and got these results among which I found no reliable 3rd party sources with significant coverage meeting WP:N. Nor did I get any here. Nothing via Books or News. I asked the creator to provide reliable sources, but none were forthcoming. Dloh cierekim  15:25, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Yes, thanks, I had been trying to find references, that's a press release from a business partner, not really reliable. I can't find any articles with other than trivial mentions (one sentence regarding layoffs) or basic demographics (address, CEO, number of employees) anywhere.  This is a medium-sized company and a leader in its field in Ireland and FedEx's Irish partner but apparently it has no independent third-party coverage even in Irish newspapers and business websites. I still feel like there ought to be references but I just can't find any on the internet.  Drawn Some (talk) 21:41, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I had the same feeling-- but there they aren't. I asked the creator for help on this-- to no avail. If RS turn up, happy to reconsider.  Dloh  cierekim  21:42, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as no reliable independent references exist to establish notability for this privately held corporation or to verify an encyclopedia article. Since Dlohcierekim also looked I'll take it that it's not just through my poor search skills that I was unable to find resources, especially since the television program of the same name and other businesses with similar names complicated matters.  If references come to light then I may be notified on my talk page to reconsider my opinion. Drawn Some (talk) 22:43, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
