Non-notable business, simple confirmation of existence, per sources. Oaktree b (talk) 00:19, 23 July 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, C LYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE (I will not see your reply if you don't mention me) 00:33, 30 July 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Relisting to review sources offered. It helps to link directly to sources that might be SIGCOV rather than to search results. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 00:31, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Lots of passing mentions, some interviews, but I cannot find any WP:SIRS sources. &mdash;siro&chi;o 04:23, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

 * I see you have been adding references. Thank you. I encourage you to read WP:NCORP and find 2 or 3 sources that meet those requirements, which are a bit more strict than they are for other types of articles. The more sources added that don't meet the requirements, the harder it will be for editors to evaluate as the discussion progresses. &mdash;siro&chi;o 17:01, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Unsure what everyone is using for references... There are pages (and I mean pages) after pages of sources, Google news section. HistoryHopper (talk) 14:40, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - I agree with voters above that the company has a lot of news in Google. These are pretty good 1, 2, 3, and 4.Royal88888 (talk) 05:48, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: I find ample newspaper coverage. ≈ <b style="border:1.5px solid #736AFF;font-family:georgia;font-variant:small-caps"><b style="background-color:#FBB117;color:#7E2217">MS Sakib </b> «TalK»</b>  01:59, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * comment - here's a source assessment table, evaluating sources we have so far with respect to WP:SIRS. A lot of non-independent coverage, a lot of routine coverage including a lot of "will they won't they" with "MedMen". &mdash;siro&chi;o 05:50, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I think the Business Insider piece ("BI, Berke[7]") should be viewed without reference or use of the quoted material, in which case I'd class it as independent and reliable; the perennial sources reference notes to use caution in using it as a reliable source, not to dimiss it. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 20:00, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Final relist. Could those arguing to Keep this article counter the source analysis that shows little reliable sourcing in the article? Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete. I find myself agreeing with siroxo's analysis. Thanks for putting together the source assessment table! None of the available sources meet all the standards of WP:NCORP, which means we don't have any sources suitable for establishing notability. The keep !voters really haven't addressed these concerns, and we can't establish notability based on a large volume of unsuitable sources. Actualcpscmscrutinize, talk 10:57, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge !vote ... I do think there is insuffient material for a standalone article. What about a section in the MedMen article?
 * User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 23:49, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I think a bit in MedMen could make sense, there's a fair amount of non-SIRS coverage there. Does it make sense to leave a redirect? Maybe so, but it does seem a bit strange to redirect from one company to another. But maybe that's my own non-NPOV corporate perspective and a redirect like that is perfectly fine from an encyclopedia-building perspective. &mdash;siro&chi;o 04:13, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete Per siroxo's thorough analysis of the article's sources. GuardianH (talk) 16:23, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Just because significant portions are quotes, doesn't mean it isn't independent. Southern Maryland Chronicle and CNBC, for example, also include lots of other third-party information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belichickoverbrady (talk • contribs) 23:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Neither of those sources meet WP:ORGIND. As a deeper evaluation of those two sources:
 * The Southern Maryland Chronicle is quite clearly not independent and has clear signs of churnalism. Parts not in quotes include, for example, and
 * The CNBC article is filled with information attributed to the CEO of MedMen (Bierman) who were attempting the acquisition at this time as well as referecncing a press release. Most of it is attributed even if not quoted. There is an possibly independent attribution to the Cowen Group of a prediction that is based on the (now failed) acquisition. It's difficult to evaluate the independence of that single sentence, but we do not have to, one statement attributed to another party along with some notes about share prices would not make this a SIRS source.
