Non-notable business. Sources cited are obits of the founder, and while they might contribute towards his notability, they don't towards the company's. BEFORE search finds plenty of mentions of the Panelbase name, by virtue of what they do (ie. their survey results being reported), but nothing about the company itself.

Keep How can the company not be notable when the produce of the company is covered extensively across basically every article about a UK national or local election? Their produce is covered extensively in UK newspapers and mentioned frequently on UK broadcast news, the fact that an article didn't already exist was shocking to me. The company has significant influence on the politics of the UK but there shouldn't be an article on who owns the company or the methods the company uses to produce their surveys?

Does the article need more work? Absolutely.

Are the majority of the sources about the founder rather than the organisation he founded? Absolutely.

Do I intend to expand the article when I have the time to find more and better sources? Absolutely. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 09:20, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:ORGSIG, no organisation is inherently notable. And even if this company's services were notable (which hasn't been shown), notability is not inherited. If you're aware of a policy or guideline that trumps these points, please cite it. Thank you,-- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:36, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
