 * Keep, there's some significant coverage of the company (mostly surrounding the circumstances of its closure, it seems). Regarding "local news", I suppose the nominator is referring to WP:NCORP? I confess that I have no idea what distinction NCORP is trying to draw between "local" and "regional, statewide, [or] provincial", but I would say the coverage in Manchester Evening News is more than merely "local".

 * For an example, Manchester Evening News covers the county of Greater Manchester, so local. The Yorkshire Post covers the whole region of Yorkshire, so regional. And BBC, ITV, Sky, Guardian, Times etc is provincial/national. The independent sources in the article aren’t very independent. While the MEN does have a little more than "Company closed down" it still fails AUD per above. The Oldham source while also failing AUD is trivial coverage as described in NCORP - "a product line launch". In conclusion while it could scrape past GNG this fails the stricter requirements of NCORP. SK2242 (talk) 10:08, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "Manchester Evening News covers the county of Greater Manchester, so local" The population of Greater Manchester is just under 3 million, and the Manchester Evening News has been published since 1868. It's not Rutland. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:15, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
