 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Query - Can I ask why is this company nominated for deletion when it was founded in part by the Eldest Son of the President of the UAE and well documented? O66 (talk) 14:47, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Because that alone does not make it a notable company. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 ( talk ) 01:19, 1 August 2021 (UTC) (If you reply to to me directly, please use a ping to notify me.)

 * Speedy Delete WP:A7 No indication of importance: company or organization. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 ( talk ) 01:19, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. References are adequate for this defunct company. I can't find out why the company ceased operation. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:34, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you O66 (talk) 21:03, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. The first three references appear to establish notability per WP:GNG. NemesisAT (talk) 13:46, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you O66 (talk) 21:03, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , I know you mean well, but thanking individual editors for their Keep-!votes is neither necessary nor what this venue is for.  Angry Harpy   talk 12:09, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Has independent references in national newspapers, etc., and award information. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 22:51, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Under WP:BEFORE it is stated:
 * C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted
 * 2. If the article was recently created, please consider allowing the contributors more time to develop the article.
 * The article was created on 24 July 2021‎ and proposed for deletion on the same day, so I do not believe this procedure was followed. Adding would have been more appropriate at this stage. Thus, I think the correct WP:AFD procedure under WP:BEFORE should be followed before a deletion process is considered again. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 14:06, 5 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment (with source assessment table): Somewhat surprised to see so many keep votes with so many red flags in the reference pool, so I've created this source assessment table to clarify why I had nominated this in the first place. This table includes suspicious repetitions of text in between two articles that are purported to be 'reliable'. Hopefully this table will be of use for the final consensus. nearlyevil  665  16:07, 5 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Well done on the source table. I agree with the assessments. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  01:19, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. I clicked on all the sources and did my own source assessment table in my head. I agree with nearlyevil665 that there are no WP:GNG passing sources in this article. They are self-published websites (not reliable), or obviously based off press releases from their tone and overuse of quotes (not independent), or they are database entries (not secondary). – Novem Linguae (talk) 06:16, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
