Zed (company)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Questionably notable and improvable company article given the current version and the best I found was simply this, this and this which are hardly enough to suggest better improvement even if this article claims they are the "leading mobile phone value-added services (MVAS) player in the world in terms of revenue and geographical footprint". I honestly haven't looked closely at Spanish news sourced as it won't be simple and frankly there's nothing to suggest optimistism for searching further. Notifying Spanish users and  (que bueno verlos otra ves, hermanos! ) who may have some Spanish insight and also tagger. SwisterTwister  talk  07:21, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: Pure puffery; no solid indication of notability. . . Mean as custard (talk) 09:23, 16 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep: but trim down puffery and content not referenced by reliable sources. I think the article could be neutralized, and there is enough non-routine coverage from independent reliable sources in this case to meet WP:GNG and WP:CORP. Here are just three examples of reliable sources in Spanish that I believe do satisfy those requirements: Article from El Confidencial, Article from El País and Article from ABC. Regards to SwisterTwister  and others from this side of the pond.--Crystallized C (talk) 10:33, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm open to the article being kept if it can be improved and I may also search some Spanish newspapers later. SwisterTwister   talk  17:50, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hola Amigo, I just checked La Razón (Madrid) and El Mundo (Spain) and they also have articles that talk about the company. If I have some time latter on the week and nobody else takes the challenge, I may try to neutralize the article myself. Saludos.--Crystallized C (talk) 20:51, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment I have neutralized the products and services section and added some references, the article still needs more work.--Crystallized C (talk) 19:50, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep., but move to Zed Group. the larger unit that contains a number of other related firms. There seems to be enough material for notability   DGG ( talk ) 17:53, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree with DGG it makes sense to move the article to Zed Group.--Crystallized C (talk) 10:27, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
