fails WP:NCORP, the sources are only routine announcements with no deep or direct coverage of the company Assirian cat ( talk) 07:01, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply

I spotted the delete tag and since I am Swedish, I thought to give my opinion. There is a Swedish Wikipedia page for it, so I will look at that and check sources. Atlassian ( talk) 20:48, 22 May 2024 (UTC) reply
I am still reading Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies) and checking how it's done on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2024_May_22 as well as on other dates. Atlassian ( talk) 21:03, 22 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Ok, this is a clear keep.
There already is a great explanation on the talk page. I will soon add some comments of my own. Atlassian ( talk) 21:04, 22 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Building on the explanation that's already present on the talk page:
  1. This is a publicly traded company. You and I and anyone else can literally become shareholders tomorrow or the day after. This alone is notable.
  2. Furthermore, as a publicly traded company, it is legally obliged (by Swedish law) to publish detailed and truthful reports. Those reports are frequent and very detailed, the latest I could find was 128 pages long. This is not your run-of-the-mill routine coverage. This is much more detailed than a newspaper article.
    Here is some information from Bolagsverket and Swedish Economic Crime Authority about penalties and prison sentences associated with information delays and false information in reporting – [1], [2], [3], [4], [5].
  3. I could also find multiple reliable, independent, secondary and significant-coverage sources as specified Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies). Here are three examples from Swedish business magazine Affärsvärlden: [6], [7], podcast analysis. And there are many others.
  4. Also, the comment left on the talk page is accurate in saying that there are many many less notable companies on Wikipedia.

re legally obliged (by Swedish law) to publish detailed and truthful reports specifically, regulatory filings, while meeting the "detailed" and "reliable" parts, do not meet the "secondary" or "independent" parts of the criteria. Haven't looked at the press coverage though, so I won't leave an actual opinion unless I have the time to do so later. Alpha3031 ( t • c) 14:48, 24 May 2024 (UTC) reply
I am away today, so I'll attempt to make a writeup in one go, in bullet-point form.
  1. I am new to Articles_for_deletion part of Wikipedia, but the rules are clear and I think that I have a good grasp of them now.
  2. Indeed, regulatory filings is a good description. They probably should count for something (given the "detailed" and "reliable" parts). Oftentimes, regulatory filing will be more detailed and reliable than a news article.
  3. I made a quick search for press coverage and will share my results here.
  4. In my search, I excluded articles about its quarterly or annual reports, like this one from Dagens Industri. This kind of articles are plenty, given that the subject is a publicly listed company.
  5. I also excluded coverage by financial institutions, like this one by Swedbank. I excluded because it probably can be considered "routine coverage" even though most companies do not have this kind of coverage. I also excluded other similar links like these – [8], [9], [10], [11], [12] and others.
  6. I also excluded coverage pages dedicated to publicly traded companies like those on Financial Times, Bloomberg and elsewhere. Some examples include: [13], [14], [15], [16], [17] etc.
  7. I also excluded articles by "micropublishers", like "IT Karriär" (examples here: [18], [19], etc.)
  8. When searching for media coverage, I tried to find more publishers rather than more articles from the same publisher. I don't know, there seems to be plenty. Some examples below.
  1. Resumé (magazine): [20]
  2. Placera [ sv: [21]
  3. Börskollen [ sv: [22]
  4. Realtid.se [ sv: [23]
  5. Elektroniktidningen [ sv: [24]
  6. Dagensinfrastruktur [ sv: [25]
  7. Privata Affärer [ sv: [26]
  8. Nya Wermlands-Tidningen: [27]

  • Keep - sources may be behind paywalls but publicly traded companies are typically notable. ~ Kvng ( talk) 21:11, 28 May 2024 (UTC) reply
