None of the sources is about the subject of the article. There is no mention of this subject in it's supposed parent company Dialog Axiata article, therefore I am unable to request a redirect to the parent company article but if found to be a subsidiary of that parent company, then redirect.

• ThePapare is not a subsidiary of Dialog Axiata. Instead, Dialog Axiata serves as a sponsor and broadcasting partner for ThePapare. This collaboration is evident from ThePapare’s official website, which states "© Copyright 2024 - ThePapare Powered by Dialog." This indicates a sponsorship or partnership rather than ownership.

Additionally, ThePapare operates as an independent sports media platform, providing comprehensive coverage of Sri Lankan sports through live updates, news articles, and live streaming services. This independence further supports the distinction between ThePapare and Dialog Axiata.

Therefore, redirecting ThePapare’s article to Dialog Axiata would be inappropriate, as the two entities maintain a partnership rather than a parent-subsidiary relationship.

That's promotional then, thank you for explaining it. That helps with the discussion about notability. Oaktree b (talk) 19:01, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: I can only find primary sources [1], nothing else. The sources used in the article are thin, most only talk about shows on the channel. Oaktree b (talk) 19:00, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Source 1 is rather brief, source 2 is only about programs on the channel and source 3 won't open/isn't archived properly. None of these really show notability. TV stations have programs, that's just how they operate. This doesn't show notability. Oaktree b (talk) 19:03, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: The sources provide no evidence of notability and the creator is a WP:SOCK so the page is also eligible for speedy deletion. -UtoD 14:24, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Seems to be promotional and lack of notable evidences in the form of references.Almandavi (talk) 06:43, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
