RouteNote
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Sourcing not improved since the previous two nominations. Sources are either press releases, not significant coverage, or a bunch of quotes from the founder and hence not independent content. Consider salting so we don't end up here yet again. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:08, 21 August 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Two previous AFDs closed as Delete but HighKing, who rarely advocates Keep, is doing so that is worth another week of consideration. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:12, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: A "bunch of quotes" that a journalist felt should be reported in the coverage isn't the same as an interview. The only two sources I see in the current list of sources that might pass GNG are this from CornwallLive and to a lesser extent this from Business Cornwall. The sourcing in this version, as well as the prose, are different from the previously deleted version, which is why I declined the G4 speedy deletion proposal. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:58, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep The existing sources fail GNG/NCORP - articles that rely entirely on interviews/quotations without the journalist providing their own opinion/analysis/fact checking/etc fails WP:ORGIND. That said, the Music Distribution Market has been covered by analyst reports and the topic company has been listed as being featured. Analyst reports meet GNG/NCORP criteria for establishing notability. Here's a report from Market Research Guru which covers the topic company in detail at section 9.14. Here's another from Adroit Market Research which includes a section in Chapter 9.  HighKing++ 20:59, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

 * User:HighKing do you have copies of those reports? Both of those you listed are paywalled. - Indefensible (talk) 03:59, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, was away so only responding now. I have not read the sections on the topic company in those reports - they are paywalled. Analyst reports can either provide short brief mentions of companies in a marketplace (which may be too short or generic for the purposes of establishing notability), or they produce a section on each company which is usually accompanied by an analysis of their offering and positioning. In both examples, a section on the company is included as you can see from the Table of Contents. There is also a report from Allied Market Research which also includes a chapter. I'm happy to stick with my !vote on the basis that the analyst reports exist and I expect them to be sufficiently independent and in-depth, purely based on my experience with analyst reports in the past.
