Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cooper (company)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to Alan Cooper. Not only were a well-argued majority of !votes in favour of merging, but one of the only two 'delete's effectively made an argument for merging rather than deleting as well. Per WP:ATD, there is certainly no consensus to delete the article today. (non-admin closure) — fortunavelut luna 09:16, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- promotional and notability not established. Article sources include company's web site & Medium.com. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:29, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While the founder, Alan Cooper, is notable, there's no sign that the company is. Most of the references are not about the company but about the founder. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and GNG. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 20:57, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Alan Cooper. If he is notable and the company isn't, merging is the right way to go per WP:FAILCORP. Regards So Why 09:27, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge to Alan Cooper. This will improve the merge target article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 09:13, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Unchanged (still "delete") -- the target article would not be improved by merging the content, which is mostly routine corporate news, as in:

"In 2002, Cooper began offering training classes to the public including topic as interaction design, service design, visual design, and design leadership!"

Etc. I'm still advocating deletion; if desired, the name can be optionally redirected to the founder. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:10, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Alan Cooper. He looks to be notable (haven't looked into him). At the very least, a simple redirect there would be better than deletion. Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:34, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
