After eliminating related press releases and churnalism, there is not enough for GNG. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:37, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

  • For clarity, can I ask specifically what your issue with the sources I added are? StartOkayStop (talk) 19:06, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Gamblingnews.com is no better than a press release. Anything that quotes press releases and add no critical commentary is a puff piece. Three of your cites are the entity, itself, so they're not independent. Stashbird is focused on online gambling, so I don't see that it provides this subject any notability. My assertion is that the subject fails WP:GNG: that is, there are not enough reliable sources with in-depth coverage to claim the subject is notable. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:47, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
  • :Comment: If we accept the premise that the subject of this article is a genuine media outlet then looking for in-depth coverage is not the right criteria to use. Media outlets generally don’t write deep profiles of other media outlets. There’s a few essays on this. Not casting a vote yet as I haven’t looked too far into this one specifically just making a comment on the lack of “in-depth” coverage here. WilsonP NYC (talk) 02:06, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
  • ::It is one of the most significant trade magazines in the industry. PaulT2022 (talk) 16:26, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: I agree with Chris troutman’s assessment of the sources as inadequate. The one possible exception is SportBusiness; it’s behind a paywall and I can’t review it.

  • Keep: I originally didn't want to vote, but, seeing the lack of participation, I am going to vote keep because I don't want this to get WP:AFDPROD'd. I agree with the assessment that several of the sources are inadequate-- but, as {{ping|WilsonP NYC|p=}} said, finding in-depth coverage of media outlets like this that meet all 5 GNG criteria is difficult, particularly when it's in a niche like online gambling. That said, while I would consider it as passing notability currently, I will work to add more sources to prove it further. StartOkayStop (talk) 04:54, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: The outlet is frequently cited in [https://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=%22Find+general+sources%22+-wikipedia books] and articles about online gambling. StartOkayStop (talk) 23:27, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
  • :{{ping|StartOkayStop}} Can you please provide some of the sources you have found? QuicoleJR (talk) 15:58, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
