Non-notable organization failing WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. The references aren't indicating any sign of notability. Chirota (talk) 05:58, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Tabcorp - a perfectly valid alternative to deletion that should have been suggested instead of outright deletion. Deus et lex (talk) 11:29, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Tabcorp. There are many sources not in the article such as this, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-13/somebody-in-victoria-just-won-80-million-dollars-powerball/100374564, and this. This brand is quite famous in Australia, but I do not think it needs its own article as a subsidiary of Tabcorp. Could also be merged, but there isn't much original content, if any so redirect.

Responding the the redirection of this article. There are a range of articles within Australian Lotteries that need improvement and better referencing. Including this one. Can I suggest that this page be redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lottery_Corporation instead of Tabcorp. In May Tabcorp demerged its lottery and keno businesses and a new company was formed (The Lottery Corporation) and is independent from Tabcorp i.e. there is no legal or commercial relationship. The new company owns The Lott and all the State Government licences for lotteries in Australia, excluding Western Australia. The company is composed of the 100 year history of being the biggest lottery provider in Australia including owning all the State licenced businesses (NSW Lotteries, Tatteralls, SA Lotteries, Golden Casket) and previous companies such as Tatts Group. There is a lot of media coverage and documentation to verify the structure of this business and notoriety in Australia (Majority of Australian population have purchased a lottery product from the company's licencees at some point in time) That are also a major taxation source for State Governments.

If it suits, I am in the process of expanding the article relating to The Lottery Corporation with appropriate referencing and inclusion of The Lott and the lottery brands it represents. I am happy to take guidance on the best way forward to clean up that page and the other Australia Lotteries articles in Wikipedia. Mantuku (talk) 04:45, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
