:({{Find sources|Sentric Music}})

Advert for company. Awards are not major. Lacks significant independent coverage of Sentric Music. Best sources are a blog where they talk about themselves and two local interest pieces from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, falling short of the Depth of coverage needed. Notability is not inherited from it's clients. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:59, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep. Whilst I agree that the article content is a little too much like an advert, that is not a reason in itself for deletion. [http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/pda/2008/jun/16/elevatorpitchsentrichelpss This] in The Guardian and [http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-news/regional-news/2011/01/17/liverpool-s-sentric-music-wins-international-recognition-99623-27997439/ this] reporting they were "named as one of the world’s top five “virtual businesses”" combined with the [http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/ldpbusiness/business-local/2011/04/29/music-royalties-firm-sentric-looks-to-europe-92534-28602650/ other] [http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/ldpbusiness/business-local/2011/12/14/funding-boost-for-sentric-music-92534-29948895/ sources] (there are more that only appear on factiva) in the Liverpool Daily Post are in my opinion sufficient to meet WP:CORP. There has clearly been significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. SmartSE (talk) 08:45, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
  • The Guardian blog is not independent coverage and the Daily Post pieces fall short of "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability" from the Audience part of WP:ORG's Primary criteria. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:58, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Huh? What makes the Guardian not independent? WP:GNG arguably takes precedence over WP:CORP, and is easily met, but even using CORP's criteria, because of the Guardian article, the coverage is not solely local. SmartSE (talk) 11:11, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
  • It's just a blog hosted by the Guardian and it's just Sentric talking about themselves. There is almost no independent analysis. Just a printing of Sentrics words. duffbeerforme (talk) 15:30, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
  • I have done my best to ensure that the information contained on this page is relevant, factual and from a variety of reliable sources. While the awards may not be major, they were still awarded to Sentric and so I feel relevant. News articles from The Guardian, Liverpool Daily Post and the Irish Times hopefully offer reliable sources and a press release from The North West Fund [http://www.thenorthwestfund.co.uk/news/digital-and-creative-release-23052012] is current, relevant information.

  • The Irish Times is not about them and does not even mention them. Press releases are not independent. duffbeerforme (talk) 05:00, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
