Keep: This company is a major telecommunications company in Dubai and it has been published in several newspapers where online version is not available for them. It has well over 500,000 retail outlets, which easily makes it notable. If a page doesn't have source on the page and really if we cant read Arabic, it doesn't mean that company is non-notable. It is a definite keep, ask anyone who lives in Dubai or anyone who can read Arabic. Eddyben21 (talk) 04:36, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Eddyben21's only contributions have been to add a spamlink for a an article that was deleted under G11 as Unambiguous advertising or promotion) and to My Country Mobile. Vexations (talk) 11:35, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: My Country Mobile is a major telecommunication company in Dubai and certainly has one of the major networks and majority of their news is in print media and if the news is not available online, it doesn't mean that it is non-notable. If nominator knows someone in Dubai, he will say it is blindly notable. To give an example, it is T-mobile of Dubai. 94.204.128.4 (talk) 04:31, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this company does not appear to be notable. The only references to the company are from its own website, from user generated content or paid PR pieces in non-reliable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheSLEEVEmonkey (talk • contribs) 12:55, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It is a one of the biggest company and has several newspaper mentioned in Dubai. This company definitely deserves a space in the Wikipedia. Alanfranc (talk) 06:23, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alanfranc's only contributions have been to add a spamlink for an article that was deleted under G11 as "Unambiguous advertising or promotion", and to this deletion discussion. Seems likely that there is a concerted effort to keep this page alive for advertising purposes. TheSLEEVEmonkey (talk) 10:38, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If there are newspapers sources, although they can't be accessed these can be considered as a valid news sources. Shashanksinghvi334 (talk) 04:54, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Company has sources in Arabic from Al-Ittihad and Al Bayan, that are clearly RS. Shashanksinghvi334 (talk) 05:00, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Shashanksinghvi334, the only sources in the article are brandnewstoday.com, medium.com, popdiaries.com, ibtimes.co.in, m.dailyhunt.in, thestatesman.com, freepressjournal.in, finance.yahoo.com where are Al-Ittihad and Al Bayan? Not in the article. Vexations (talk) 14:55, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It is a major telecommunication company and they have sources offline newspapers, which passes WP:GNG. Patrickbetzig (talk) 08:19, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Patrickbetzig, can you cite those offline sources please? Vexations (talk) 12:50, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The test is not merely for "independent sources", newspapers, offline or otherwise. The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". Also, "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Not a single one of the sources contains Independent Content and this topic fails notability as per GNG/NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:09, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

HighKing, I am not sure what other reliable news references you cannot find it, there are sources from Deccan Chronicle, Business Standard and Times of India. link 1, link 2, link 3. I can find these links in one go, it is definitely a keep for me. 103.115.206.243 (talk) 06:11, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
