The Escape Hunt Experience

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Blatant spam - all substantial edits have been carried out by single purpose accounts. The citations provided are mostly from promotional material and the few that aren't do not prove anything other than the company exists and is enthusiastic about promoting itself, something we can already ascertain by reading this article. I'd also recommend that the following accounts are blocked by administrators - none of them have contributed anything other than spamming this company on various pages - Sircharlie69, Escape_Hunt_France, Creativechili, Simonasia. Note: I'm unlikely to appear on this IP address again so will not respond to any messages left on my talkpage. 79.65.126.212 (talk) 00:58, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - I completed the AfD for the IP. Accounts are all at least 3 months stale, so blocking doesn't seem necessary even if one has an obvious COI username. ansh 666 08:05, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:CORP. I can't help but feel that the statement in the article On 18 November 2016, it was announced that Escape Hunt Group Limited and its shareholders had entered into an exclusivity agreement with AIM-quoted Dorcaster plc providing Dorcaster with an exclusive right to negotiate for the acquisition by it of the entire issued share capital of Escape Hunt Group Limited. has a lot to do with it. Total spam. -- HighKing ++ 17:13, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. HighKing has removed most promotional content from the article, so I'd regard the spam issue as mostly resolved (for now). The subject is mentioned in lots and lots of news articles, but most of them are general coverage of escape room games, of which Escape Hunt is one brand among many others. Escape Hunt is the focus of reporting in these articles from CNBC and the Bangkok Post, among others, so it might just pass the WP:GNG. --Paul_012 (talk) 19:39, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree that it fails WP:CORP. It should be noted that the company is headquartered in Bangkok, so in my opinion the Bangkok Post article referenced above by Paul 012 doesn't suffice to show notability (it's routine coverage of a local company IMO). &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 06:16, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
