The result was Procedural closure.‎. The nominator, affiliated with the subject, is in a conflict of interest when proposing to delete this article which portrays the subject in a very unflattering light. The discussion is therefore procedurally closed, but any uninvolved editor may renominate the article for deletion. Sandstein 20:13, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: I'm not sure running a predatory company is the stuff of notability here. Could be seen as a form of PROMO to whitewash these issues? Regardless, I I can only find PR items, nothing helping notability. Oaktree b (talk) 17:32, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
