The result was   keep. I read a rough consensus for keep, though there is a reasonable editorial argument for merger. There's no reason the merger discussion can't continue after this closes. Kubigula (talk) 02:23, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

I cannot find any sources to indicate that this website is notable. Nothing I've found covers it in any depth at all. Seraphimblade Talk to me 06:51, 29 October 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:30, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep or at worst merge to either Zavvi or The Hut Group. Some more sources:, . --Chris Johnson (talk) 09:55, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I am aware of both sets of sources listed above, and I get a bit irritated about mentions of WP:BEFORE (for the reason that it's calling me a liar when I make it clear I looked, and for the reason we need a corresponding WP:BEFORESTARTINGANARTICLE, or rather already do.) However, those sources largely cover Zavvi, not its website specifically. I don't think there's any doubt the parent company is notable, but those sources make me doubt further whether the website is in its own right. Seraphimblade Talk to me 03:45, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not the parent company. Zavvi went under.  The Hut Group essentially purchased the brand and website and relaunched it as a distinct entity.  Our sources specifically related to the relaunch.  Honestly, if this is a merge, it should be a merge to The Hut Group, not the Zavvi article.  I actually agree it's not really appropriate to cite BEFORE in this situation given these complexities. --Chris Johnson (talk) 10:12, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge any missing information to Zavvi, then redirect to the same. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) | (talk to me) | (What I've done)  19:40, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
