Obscure stub AS whose entire basis for notability seems to be a peering error made by Global Crossing in 2011 that temporarily impacted one of their customers DefaultFree (talk) 11:28, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into The Pirate Bay (or maybe Pirate Party of Sweden?). Not notable as a stand-alone article. -- intgr [talk] 20:20, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

~~If it should be merged, then into the Pirate Party of Sweden, who owned the service. The Pirate Bay was just a site it hosted. //Julle (talk) 20:54, 8 May 2022 (UTC)~~[reply]

I don't see how any substantial part of this would make sense in either of those articles. Both the Pirate Party of Sweden and the Pirate Bay are significant entities, and this is an ISP which has merely been a service provider to both of them. By merging it into those articles, we'd a) mark this content as more important is it currently is, putting it in front of more readers, who (as opposed to those who find the article now) hadn't asked to read about this ISP and b) add information which has a rather feeble connection to the topic of the article. I'd argue it would require more notability, not less, to be merged into e.g. The Pirate Bay. //Julle (talk) 23:02, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If there's a nexus of ownership between Serious Tubes Networks and Pirate Party of Sweden, I think that would warrant at least a brief mention. But, otherwise, I agree. I'm having trouble finding a reliable source that would support the claim, and I don't have any relevant personal knowledge. DefaultFree (talk) 06:11, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely, if ownership was part of the picture it could merit mentioning. But since the article doesn't suggest that it is ... That was just me misreading something, in my first comment. /Julle (talk) 10:25, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
