Swivel New Media

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable brand management company with nothing in RS as far as I can tell. The page was obviously created as self promotion, I mean the creating editors name is Swivel1. Come on. Mbdfar (talk) 03:42, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak delete fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG, searching "Swivel New Media" comes up with around 175 results on google, none of which are significant coverage in reliable sources. Just 'Swivel' leads to a few more results, almost exclusively press releases and a couple articles: Austin Business Journal and cnbc. Still doesn't seem to be quite enough in-depth, reliable coverage to meet notability standards. Eddie891 Talk Work 00:40, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Seems promotional and without any independent sources. Fails WP:GNG.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 00:55, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a free advertising platform on which companies are entitled to place themselves just because they exist. The notability test requires independent coverage about the company in media to establish the company's significance, and cannot be met by referencing the article entirely to the company's own self-published website about itself (the only kind of sourcing present here at all). Notability, for Wikipedia's purposes, is not a thing you get to give yourself by writing about yourself — it's a thing journalists have to bestow on you by writing news stories about you in the third person.
