This is a procedural nomination. User:WeldingF originally created this post back in November but didn't follow procedures to properly open the discussion. Didn't think it was appropriate to do a WP:NACAFD so thought I would do this instead. The original rationale was "Company not notable enough, as it only contains notable assets."

• Redirect to RELX#Exhibitions: The present article was originally created by a WP:SPA with subsequent editing by other WP:SPAs including Mironova reedexpo and ReedExhibitions. The Operations and market segments section in the article on the RELX (former Reed Elsevier) parent has brief coverage of this topic, and its Controversy section covers some past exhibition activities (though their Spearhead military exhibition unit may have been distinct). An article on a particular operating unit would need strong notability demonstrable in its own right, or possibly to have such a level of associated "controversy" coverage as to make a split out of the parent article appropriate. I don't see notability as inheriting from these or from past NRA / NSSF boycotts of particular events described in the present article, and consider the RELX article as the better focus for development.

Hi, a colleague just mentioned this discussion to me, so I'm adding my thoughts here. I'm an employee of RELX, so can't get involved directly due to potential WP:COI but RX is more than just 'a particular operating unit' of RELX - it is one of the world's largest events businesses so it definitely feels like it merits its own page. Can you suggest what might be done to help develop this page in order to remove the notability warning? Many thanks Ryoba (talk) 14:36, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
