Unreferenced article fails to credibly assert notability of the subject per WP:GNG. Was kept at last AfD 6 years ago with the provision that it was supposed to be cleaned up, it's still largely unsourced. AussieLegend (✉) 12:52, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

- Delete. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG. Having searched for them, I don't believe such sources exist. Reasons offered at the previous AfD, e.g., that it's a listed stock, are no longer considered sufficient to establish notability under current guidelines. Msnicki (talk) 14:29, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

- Comment. The result from the last AfD was "keep and clean up", not "keep on the proviso that it be cleaned up". StAnselm (talk) 02:29, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Keep a search at http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/newsSearch.ac?/index.html finds a number of articles in the Fairfax press directly referencing them. Paul foord (talk) 06:00, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

What did you find? Links to the actual articles would be a lot more helpful than a link to a search box. Msnicki (talk) 06:05, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

::::These are basically just routine coverage of their press releases. Junk like this doesn't establish notability. Msnicki (talk) 07:55, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Delete: Try as I might, I can't find any 3rd party mentions of the company. As noted above there's an article that mentions it, but it's not about the article. Given the topic, I'm actually a bit surprised by this, media companies generally have more media. Maury Markowitz (talk) 10:51, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
