[edit] Fairground Gaming
This was an online gaming holdings company, however it has now been placed into liquidation.[1] The company no longer exists. The casinos have been bought back by the original owners. The casinos themselves have no notability: see successful AFDs on other Microgaming casinos [2] and [3] for past AFDs.
- Weak Delete - one third-party source (BBC News) is cited, but ideally more sources are needed to establish notability per WP:CORP, which requires "multiple non-trivial coverage in independent sources". The fact that the company no longer exists is not in itself a reason for deletion, but I agree that casino businesses are not inherently notable, unless they pass WP:CORP. Delete therefore, unless further sources are added by the end of this AfD. Walton Vivat Regina! 18:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, update. Easily met WP:CORP, now article needs to say "was". If all the assets went somewhere else, it could be redirected there, but we have Category:Defunct gambling companies for a reason. 2005 01:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Merge - Into Safe Port Act. Has two decent sources, but all they really say is that the company shut down due to the Safe Port Act. —dgiestc 01:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
