Sourcing not improved since the previous two nominations. Sources are either press releases, not significant coverage, or a bunch of quotes from the founder and hence not independent content. Consider salting so we don't end up here yet again. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 19:08, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: A "bunch of quotes" that a journalist felt should be reported in the coverage isn't the same as an interview. The only two sources I see in the current list of sources that might pass GNG are this from CornwallLive and to a lesser extent this from Business Cornwall. The sourcing in this version, as well as the prose, are different from the previously deleted version, which is why I declined the G4 speedy deletion proposal. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:58, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Music, Companies, and England. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:05, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The existing sources fail GNG/NCORP - articles that rely entirely on interviews/quotations without the journalist providing their own opinion/analysis/fact checking/etc fails WP:ORGIND. That said, the Music Distribution Market has been covered by analyst reports and the topic company has been listed as being featured. Analyst reports meet GNG/NCORP criteria for establishing notability. Here's a report from Market Research Guru which covers the topic company in detail at section 9.14. Here's another from Adroit Market Research which includes a section in Chapter 9. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:59, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Two previous AFDs closed as Delete but HighKing, who rarely advocates Keep, is doing so that is worth another week of consideration.

User:HighKing do you have copies of those reports? Both of those you listed are paywalled. - Indefensible (talk) 03:59, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, was away so only responding now. I have not read the sections on the topic company in those reports - they are paywalled. Analyst reports can either provide short brief mentions of companies in a marketplace (which may be too short or generic for the purposes of establishing notability), or they produce a section on each company which is usually accompanied by an analysis of their offering and positioning. In both examples, a section on the company is included as you can see from the Table of Contents. There is also a report from Allied Market Research which also includes a chapter. I'm happy to stick with my !vote on the basis that the analyst reports exist and I expect them to be sufficiently independent and in-depth, purely based on my experience with analyst reports in the past.
