Fails WP:NCORP; lacks coverage in multiple reliable independent sources that address the subject of the article directly and in depth. Existing sources are autobigraphical, trade publications (where the presumption is against their use in establishing notability), press releases, or churnalism.

Delete - Fails NCORP. References are passing mentions, routine announcements, or otherwise unreliable sources. --CNMall41 (talk) 06:46, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:NCORP. References are routine business news, annoucements and some PR. scope_creep^Talk 08:26, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is a page for Stage Front Stadium but the business the stadium is named after is not notable enough for a page? Stravensky (talk) 13:05, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The stadium was recently renamed as the Stage Front Stadium after a sponsorship deal, that doesn't contribute towards WP:NCORP. Mooonswimmer 14:20, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Mooonswimmer I looked through the other companies listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ticket_sales_companies before submitting this. Stage Front has more news references and exclusive partnerships and sponsorships than half of them. We can try to find more in depth profiles, but it feels arbitrary to just go after this one especially if you compare it to any on that list aside from the big 3. Like Brown Paper Tickets and Bookitbee are the first two I clicked on and have nowhere near the notability as Stage Front. Stravensky (talk) 23:10, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Other stuff exists" is an argument to avoid at AfD. The relative notability of these companies is debatable, and even if Stage Front is the most notable of the three, that needs to be demonstrated with sources showing that it meets the standards set by WP:NCORP.

Delete The organization is “notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.” This article does not meet any of these criteria: not multiple, not reliable, no significant coverage.Topjur01 (talk) 16:51, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
