Self-created page. Basically an advert. Jsharpminor (talk) 05:21, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Currently a WP:COI violation that reads like an advertisement. Even if cleaned up, topic appears to fail WP:CORP. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 05:23, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. NickW557 beat me to it. MezzoMezzo (talk) 05:27, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Also seems a close paraphrasing of http://www.workatsportsbet.com.au/Sportsbet/About_Us.html
 * Merge to Paddy Power. I rewrote it and added 3 refs to reliable news sources, but most of the coverage relates to its takeover by Paddy Power, so it might be better covered there. (However if someone can find more news sources from before the takeover, it may well be notable as a big player in a controversial industry.) --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:02, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep There's enough source material for this to be notable, and I have added content to the article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:37, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment - Per the sources below, this topic does not appear to fail WP:CORP. Northamerica1000(talk) 12:57, 14 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I've added more sources, including some that relate to its business after the takeover by Paddy Power. I'm still a bit unsure whether keep or merge is better, but perhaps the people who voted delete above will reconsider their judgment. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:09, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep in light of Colapeninsula's improvements; it does appear to be notable. I lean toward keeping this separate from Paddy Power because of the different territorial emphasis, but I do not feel strongly about this. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:41, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I did a Factiva search, and there are hundreds of relevent newspaper articles with significant coverage. Colapeninsula has put in some good ones, but there are plenty more. --99of9 (talk) 04:57, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
