Essar Steel

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Following are the reasons why I want to have the Essar Steel page deleted:

1. Essar Steel has been acquired by ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel. It is now called ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India. A Wikipedia page for the same is being created.

2. I wanted to update the existing Essar Steel Wikipedia page, but since I do not have admin access to the page, hence I am unable to update the page name.

3. The existing Essar Steel information will be updated on the new AM/NS India page. So no information will be lost, it will be updated on the new page.

Since there is a lot to update and since I cannot make edits to the historical Essar Steel page, My best possible way forward is to create a new AM/NS India Wikipedia Page. Please be assured that this is not for corporate promotion, this action is being undertaken to avoid any confusion about the two. Please find below relevant media articles that talk about the acquisition and the name change for your reference:

Speedy keep. The fact that the company was acquire and renamed by new owner is not a valid reason for deletion. Beagel (talk) 06:34, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: AshishKaushikAMNSIndia, your point 3 above is the wrong way around. Copy-pasting the information from an existing to a new page and then seeking deletion of the original page would fail to maintain its page history and text attribution. Regarding that and your point 2 above (along with your likely WP:COI), the proper course would be to use Template:RMassist on the article Talk page to request a page move, and thereafter to use the Talk page to propose any wording changes.

Speedy keep: The rationale for seeking to delete this longstanding article to which multiple editors have contributed is invalid. AllyD (talk) 07:41, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
