The new Sears

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The "new Sears" as the page is currently titled, is not notable in and of itself. If not deleted, the page should be merged and/or redirected to Sears. Meatsgains (talk) 19:34, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Sears. Fails WP:NCORP. Edwardx (talk) 21:54, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. The nominator stated that the page is titled "new Sears". I have moved the page to Transform Holdco LLC to reflect its correct name. The editor above stated that the article "fails WP:NCORP" but did not state why/how they believe this to be the case. This article clearly meets the notability criteria for companies because it meets the five criteria set out in the relevant policy, namely that there is significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable secondary sources. Some of these sources are included in the Transform Holdco article already. Others are available (published by CNBC, Business Insider, Philadelphia Business Journal, Marketwatch) by searching for the company in Google. Chrisclear (talk) 16:39, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge into Sears. The page is Transform Holdco LLC, which is more appropriate than "the new Sears." There are definitely source available to warrant the page's inclusion. Gargleafg (talk) 01:44, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

BigRed606 (User talk:BigRed606 ‘’’Keep’’’ I see nothing wrong with this article, plus we can always expand it on a later date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BigRed606 (talk • contribs) 03:09, 15 February 2019 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep. Company seems notable enough and more information can be added as it grows older, however the article seriously needs to be wikified; so many inconsistencies (especially the infobox). There's likely enough notable sources around to expand it, as well. MikeM2011 (talk) 12:59, 27 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Sears, and mention the acquisition in the lead. The only coverage of this company has been about its acquisition of Sears. Notability is not inherited from subsidiaries. Press releases and brief announcements of acquisitions do not meet WP:ORGDEPTH. Alpha3031 (t • c) 05:04, 28 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge/Redirect. I fully get the point of this article – it is holding a large amount of assets that in themselves are very notable (high profile large US retailer etc).  However, this is just the legal shell and is not going to be inherently notable long-term - it will either get broken up, sold, re-floated as a new name etc. We can come back and break it out again if it gets restructured as such.  There is a strong change that the brand "Sears" is dead (e.g. associated with old stores, and that any new entity will avoid using it. Britishfinance (talk) 12:22, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
