Fails WP:NCORP. Zero independent sources in the article, and I'm unable to find any independent Reliable Sources on Google. This "national media firm" is some guy who graduated from college and put up a pair of National Digital Newspapers (aka websites) in 2017. While his web and promotional skills are apparent, Notability can only be conferred by significant coverage of a topic by multiple independent reliable sources.

• Delete as per nom. 100% agreed on all counts. Furthermore, related articles Kathmandu Tribune, the digital paper output by the company, and Arun Budhathoki, the founder of both, all deserve deletion. I don't think there should be any controversy on any of them. This is obviously one guy trying his damndest to publicise himself via wikipedia. Arun Budhathoki should be deleted as per WP:PROMOTION. Arun Budhathoki cites a list of pages, that attribute authorship to the subject and none that discuss the subject itself. So, it fails WP:GNG miserably short of synthesis which would be WP:OR. I bring these up only because I have previously encountered a similar network of wiki articles and corresponding sources which as a whole would make the case quite clear and yet, it becomes harder than it should be when each article is taken one at a time. Because, well, we have "national media" like "Kathmandu Tribune" where friends can write puff pieces about each other and exchange favours writing wikipedia articles about each other citing these same "credible media sources", and so on. If editors would look in on all three of these articles, and provide their feedback, I/we could proceed with putting the other two up for discussion as well. Usedtobecool ^TALK

BTW, Kathmandu Tribune and Nepal Tribune Media were both created by User:Ozar77 and I haven't looked in detail into their contributions. But, Arun Budhathoki was written by User:Dansong22 which is signed 'ArunBudhathoki' on the userpage which seems to make the page an autobiography by a user with an undisclosed COI.

Nepal Tribune Media is a registered company under Nepal Government Law and some random Nepali guy working against it against cyberlaw and not acceptable too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ozar77 (talk • contribs) 05:10, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if legal threats of this nature count as intimidation. Also, don't blank an AfD discussion page, again. It hinders your case more than anything else you can threaten me with. Usedtobecool ^TALK 06:06, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ozar77 a company is not entitled to a Wikipedia article merely because it exists. Wikipedia has an inclusion criteria. A topic must qualify under our Notability guideline. More specifically, companies are evaluated under the NCORP subject-specific guidelines. If you want to avoid deletion of this article, you need to present a valid argument and/or evidence that Nepal Tribune Media does qualify for inclusion in the encyclopedia under the NCORP guideline. Also, it is unclear what "random Nepali guy" you are referring to. I am the one who nominated the article for deletion, and I have never been within four thousand miles of Nepal. I am merely a random editor who works to ensure Wikipedia content complies with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and I came across this article pretty much at random.

• Delete - Huh? The company is registered? I think it works that way in most countries for any company. Fails WP:NCORP. Wikipedia is not WP:YELLOWPAGES. Orville1974 (talk) 08:21, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've just added Nepal News Network International to the open AfD discussions. Orville1974 (talk) 17:15, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Nepal Tribune Media is an independent media company in Nepal and I am sure administrators who respect press freedom, especially, in a communist country like Nepal would respect the need for a fair media. Editors are just abusing their rights to delete this page for no reason. No point in debating with so-called editors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.34.68.251 (talk) 14:00, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) You do realize that saying editors are abusing their rights is not going to help right?LakesideMiners^{My Talk Page} 14:07, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

27.34.68.251 You should see WP:COI and WP:Sockpuppet. Then, I ask you, do you have anything to declare? And stop pulling the Nepal card or the freedom card. See WP:What wikipedia is not.Usedtobecool ^TALK 15:27, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• DELETE - I couldn't find any coverage through either google or news searches. Even searching for the name in Nepalese generated no meaningful results. What is on the page is essentially WP:PROMO and there aren't any sources extant with which to make it otherwise. ogenstein (talk) 22:40, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - article as it stands does not meet WP:GNG, lack of coverage in reliable secondary sources. starship.paint (talk) 13:07, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I'm unable to locate any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:47, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
