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 delete‎. The response to the proposed sourcing that may meet NCORP is the most persuasive comment below, and is supported by Alpha3031 subsequently. I am happy to undelete and draftify this upon request if someone has new sources they want to add in the future. Daniel (talk) 22:56, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I removed the excessive references, keeping only those that could be considered substantial, 3rd party. There are multi-paragraph articles about each of the acquisitions that discuss the business aspects. I think this now meets NCORP. Lamona (talk) 05:23, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I still see no evidence of Parabellum meeting WP:NCORP. None of these sources qualify. — Dan Leonard (talk • contribs) 04:40, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a family office, and being realistic, it's going to be rare for any of those to receive NCORP-level coverage. Looking through the usually M&A dross, I see no reason to believe this one is an exception. Delete: Coverage needs to be of the company, and not inherited from sources describing the operations of their subsidiaries. Alpha3031 (t • c) 09:38, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
