Post City Magazines

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a publisher of community newspapers at the neighbourhood level, completely unreferenced to any reliable source coverage for the purposes of establishing notability per WP:NCORP. The closest thing there was to "referencing" here at all was a series of WP:ELNO-violating offlinks to each individual title's own self-published website, but the notability test for media outlets is not that their own web presence metaverifies itself; rather, the notability test requires the company to be the subject of media coverage it didn't publish itself. But even on a deep ProQuest search, I can't find the coverage it would take; all I'm getting is glancing namechecks of its existence in coverage of other things or people, not anything that's substantively about this company. There's also a direct conflict of interest here, as the article was created by a user named "Postemployee". Bearcat (talk) 00:26, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
