This article is little more than an advertisement. I've deleted much of the promotional language and citations to the firm's own website. Some of what remains is cited to twitter, just about zero press. Not notable enough for inclusion.

 * Delete No real change since the original 2018 nomination; a lot of puffery about a generic dental chain, except now it's been bought by a generic equity company. None of my concerns in nom #1 were addressed in any appreciable manner, and it was much worse before the nom's attempt at cleanup. And that the article boasts of them recieivng awards with nothing to do with actual patient care is questionable (why is there something called the "COVID Response Awards"?!! They won in the category "BEST COVID-19 RESPONSE IN HEALTHCARE (OVER 15M TURNOVER)" which...yeah, I'm holding back a rant here).  Nate  • ( chatter ) 01:22, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * As the nominator I'll just add that of the eight citations remaining, two are to twitter, one to the BDCA is a generic page with no mention of Portman, the remaining are to industry publications apart from one to Sky News. There are more than 12,000 dental practices in the UK, we surely don't have individual articles for all of them. That's not encyclopedic imo. Thelisteninghand (talk) 19:34, 20 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete - Not a notable organisation. Keep arguments in the last AFD were weak at best, and there is still no evidence ORGCRITE is met. Given that the argument of "premature" deletion in 2018 has four years later proven false with no increase in proof of notability, I support deletion. MaxnaCarta (talk) 03:37, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
