Fails the notability guideline for companies: sources are either passing mentions, press releases, unreliable sources or indiscriminate database profiles. (PROD contested by creator) – Teratix ₵ 10:35, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tera Thank you for your effort. I consider that Global Data Intelligence Limited article should not be deleted, because as I mentioned on Talk:Global_Data_Intelligence_Limited&actionTalk:Global_Data_Intelligence_Limited I had a deep analysis related to b2b database providers, being inspired by businesses as LeadGenius, InsideView,ZoomInfo and others big similar companies, trying to write a unique content and find valuable reference links. Moreover, I found many external sources but I do not know which are valuable for Wikipedia articles. I consider, that companies which work with global customers like Microsoft, CISCO, DHL and many more, need to have Wikipedia page, to avoid misunderstanding between companies and clients perception. I agree with Tera related to unreliable sources, it's my mistake, maybe I did not search enough for them. I still hope that this page will not be deleted and count on your help.

Thank you all for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trymemore (talk • contribs) 11:24, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You mentioned you found "many external sources" but you don't know which ones are useful for articles. Have you found any sources that are not currently cited in the article? – Teratix ₵ 12:19, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but this is a huge list, when I search like their trading name Global Database, I find many referral links, but I do not know which are a good one. I gave the name Global Data Intelligence Limited because this is a legal name, thinking that this is more correct. How do you think, Tera? Because on google exist too many sources concerning Global Database search. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trymemore (talk • contribs) 12:34, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as currently written. Sources fail WP:CORPDEPTH. @Trymemore: You say that you have many sources, I would suggest reading WP:RS and trying to identify sources of in-depth coverage (more than a few sentences) from reliable sources (such as news organizations with reputation for accuracy). shoy (reactions) 14:15, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Meanwhile archived, how about closing this as "move back to draft", and let Trymemore sort their references for some time? @Trymemore: There's a timeout for drafts if nothing happens, IIRC after six months a draft with no edits/submission can be deleted. –84.46.53.12 (talk) 14:19, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to see at least one good reference before !voting to draftify. – Teratix ₵ 23:33, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, me too. The BuzzFeed source (yellow on RS/P) isn't obviously bad, D&B Hoovers exists, and the article lists Dun & Bradstreet as competitor. –84.46.53.12 (talk) 00:16, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The Buzzfeed source is unusable – it's written by a "community contributor" i.e. no editorial oversight. I'm not sure what you mean by "D&B Hoovers exists", or the relevance of listing Dun & Bradstreet as a competitor. – Teratix ₵ 02:16, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The content isn't obviously bogus, Buzzfeed D&B Hoovers is on topic and matches Dun & Bradstreet on the article discussed here. BTW, your opinion about this source needs a red (not only yellow) on RS/P, I'm too lazy to suggest that on the RS/P talk page, I'm hunting TMZ and some others, not including Buzzfeed so far. –84.46.52.129 (talk) 19:41, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Buzzfeed's editorial content might merit a yellow (I've never encountered it) but content contributed by a random person on the Internet, not vetted by editors, simply can't be used in an article. The existence of articles on a similar company doesn't imply all companies of type are notable. – Teratix ₵ 23:49, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OT, there's a green BuzzFeed News below WP:RS/P#BuzzFeed. –84.46.52.129 (talk) 07:08, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This means that you can move to draft until will not find more reliable sources?
Delete. Fails WP:NCORP. None of the sources in the article are usable. They're either not WP:RS, or directory listings, or just passing mentions in articles about other topics. Possibly WP:G11 worthy. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:51, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Appears written as advertising. The possible reason why reliable independent sources haven't been found is that there doesn't appear to be any and I went through two pages on a search. @Trymemore: Thanks for the contributions but on this one I don't see that there is anything. If it was drafted I don't think sources could be found to provide a HEY. Otr500 (talk) 20:16, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
