 * Don't delete that article, because if you check the oldest edit/archive (dating back to 2014-2016) of the article United Mobile, It contained information about the Pakistani company with the same name (now in United Mobile (Pakistan)), but was accused of being hijacked content that stayed there for over 3 years, and after when the hijacked content was linked with many wiki articles (eg. Voice Mobile), so a separate article entity was made for it. Please kindly revert this decision. Pakieditor - talk  08:04, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * First read wp:n an article should only be kept if it can be shown the company is notable (I.E. people other then it have covered it in some depth. Secondly [][ was the original United Mobile, I see no mention of Pakistan.Slatersteven (talk) 19:26, 6 January 2019 (UTC)


 * I also suspect (given the history of United Mobile) that there may be issues with promotion and COI.Slatersteven (talk) 10:50, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: a source search in English and Arabic doesn't turn up the requisite depth of coverage for corporations to be considered notable. I share 's concerns about COI/UPE, especially considering the article's total reliance on self-published sources.    SITH   (talk)   18:04, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete -- does not meet WP:NCORP; sourcing is in passing, routine notices, and / or WP:SPIP. Just a promotional directory listing. K.e.coffman (talk) 09:20, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete References fail the criteria for establishing notability. Fails WP:NCORP and GNG.  HighKing++ 18:42, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Week Keep As per The News International, United Mobile is country’s leading mobile phones distributor. --Saqib (talk) 15:55, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This is a one line mention.Slatersteven (talk) 15:58, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree there's no in depth coverage about the company therefore I !voted week keep, but it was indeed a leading mobile distributor of Pakistan. The Express Tribune also says the same about it. --Saqib (talk) 16:02, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It say "one of the leading mobile phone distributors"..Slatersteven (talk) 16:04, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment None of the references provided by Editorkamran meet the criteria for establishing notability. Statements like "It is the main subject in above links. It is also the only tecno mobile distributor in Pakistan" do not form part of the criteria. The first link from nation.com fails the criteria as it is a PR announcement from the company (marked as such) and therefore fails WP:ORGIND. The second reference from tribine.com.pk is also part of the company's PR activities and relies exclusively on information provided by the company and their United Mobile Marketing Director - fails WP:ORGIND. The final reference from flare.pk is yet more PR surrounding the announcement at a press conference (complete with photo) that the company was appointed a distributer for Alcatel - fails WP:ORGIND. Clearly the topic fails WP:NCORP and GNG.  HighKing++ 16:40, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I have made a bunch of searches with the hope of finding a reliable source to support this article but so far nothing. Fails WP:RS and a whole lot of promotional links are used as refs. PlotHelpful (talk) 14:58, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
