Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted because it relates to the parent company of two companies which have existing wikipedia articles. The company also has a notable person on its board of directors, the former minister and life peer, Lord Adonis, who also has an existing entry in wikipedia. The company is listed as a public limited company on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange.

This page should be allowed to continue as a stub company page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whlb (talkcontribs)

Agreed. I removed the deletion tag. -- Cirt (talk) 16:54, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Intro paragraph

First paragraph seems to be taken straight from a press release, definitely doesn't sound like WP:NPV. Not sure I know how to fix though. Liam McM 12:56, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

The name of this company has changed to Merit Group, as per the Companies House and London Stock Exchange references now in the page. The page should probably be moved to that title; I'll probably do that in a day or two – unless there's any reason not to? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:43, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
