As written, this fails WP:NORG, WP:Notability, and WP:Permastub, and following the lead of User:Piotrus and User:Mrschimpf, this article may not be notable or, if it is, it is either a permastub or an emerging permastub. The edit history comments even remark on the myriad problems with WP:NPOV and wikipuffery. This is a textbook example of WP:CORPSPAM and I would also point out Wikipedia is not a directory or the yellow pages. Doug Mehus (talk) 05:14, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:NCORP as written. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:37, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Companies are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist — they need to be the subject of enough reliable source coverage in media to satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH, and are not entitled to keep articles sourced entirely to their own self-published content about themselves.

Bearcat, Yeah, and I thank Piotrus for pointing that out, so that's why I nominated this. I did a search for it and Concentra Financial but all of their roughly 10-14,000 Google articles are merely corporate directories, listings, primary sources, or inconsequential media coverage and blog posts (most commonly referring to executive departures and hires). Thanks for validating that thinking. -DM Doug Mehus (talk) 15:17, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As said above, fails WP:NCORP. There are practically no reliable secondary sources available. The only sources provided are their website(pages cited no longer available) and a primary source(page cited also unavailable). Luke ^Talk 00:05, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hei314, Thanks, Luke, and thank you for your contributions to the AfD process. I think this is a good example of where a company with billions of dollars in assets can simply not meet WP:NCORP on any basis. Doug Mehus (talk) 00:13, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
