Norris-Whitney Communications

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Advertorialized article about a magazine publishing company, not making any strong or properly referenced claim to passing WP:CORP. Essentially the notability claim on offer here is that the company and its titles exist, which is not in and of itself an inclusion freebie in the absence of sufficient media coverage about it to clear WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH -- but the closest thing to "referencing" present here at all is a linkfarmed stack of external links to the company's own self-published websites for itself and its magazines. Also conflict of interest, as the creator's username was "Norcomm" -- but as always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which companies are entitled to place advertorialized content about themselves just because their own self-created web presence technically verifies that they exist.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Ineligible for soft deletion based on this deprod, way back in 2007. Relisting for further input...

 * Delete: as per nomination, this is advertorial. The page creator has never come back, and User:Numblenits is probably a sock, not seen since 2008. Their contributions are very similar to content in this article. -- Whiteguru (talk) 11:39, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
