Reliance Digital

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

advertising for a non-notable chain, subsidiary of a subsidiary company. The Banner talk 13:33, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep With 100 stores, this is the largest chain of consumer electronics stores in India, a valid claim of notability. There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources already in the article to meet the WP:GNG, and a Google News Archive search shows many more articles in reliable Indian newspapers. The fact that Reliance Digital is a subsidiary of a larger company is not a reason to delete the article. We have many articles about notable subsidiary companies.

 * Keep, Reliance Digital is the biggest Retail chain in India and has sufficient coverage on reliable and authoritative platforms. This addresses the notability and reliable sources issue.Tushar Taliyan (talk) 11:48, 5 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep, Reliance Digital is the biggest retail chain in the electronics domain in the country. Presence of the company in different secondary references makes it notable and that it is deemed fit to be part of Wikipedia.Mananshah15 (talk) 03:31, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I accept that the chain is notable. It was the point that suddenly several Reliance companies where showing up at Wikipedia that gave me the idea of a promotion-campaign. The Banner talk 12:50, 5 August 2013 (UTC) And no, I did not withdraw the nomination. I still have the idea that it is advertising and part of a wider campaign. The Banner talk 23:45, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. I did not understand there was still an open question to be resolved. Is there a promotional issue on the page which cannot be fixed via cleanup? (Again, sorry about misunderstanding your post.) OSborn arfcontribs. 00:22, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

The Banner - Can u please let me know how do u feel that this is the part of 'so-called advertising campaign' ? I started the article and amused to know that you think this is advertising? Can you please elaborate with 'proofs or references' ?? Beacuse going by your logic every company that is present in the Business Project or Companies Project will be a part of a promotion campaign since today every company does have a marketing arm with them.
