Talk:AtGlobal

I may have a conflict of interest regarding this topic, so I am proposing changes here rather than editing the article directly.

My earlier proposal did not receive any response, so I am posting a more concrete revision proposal here. Given that the article is currently at AfD, my aim is not to argue for retaining every part of the current version, but to suggest a more neutral and policy-based structure for the article. The proposed approach is as follows: * remove or trim material based mainly on the company’s own website, press releases, trademarks, relocations, awards, and other routine announcements that do not substantially establish notability; * reduce promotional or directory-like content and rewrite the article around basic facts that can be verified in public records and official databases; * avoid implying notability merely from certifications, listings, licenses, or procurement records; * keep the current notability concern in mind and, at this stage, focus first on neutrality and verifiability rather than on removing maintenance or deletion-related concerns. As a possible direction, I suggest reducing the article to something along the following lines:

I would especially welcome comments on the following points: * whether this is a reasonable way to reduce promotional tone; * which current statements should be retained, removed, or rewritten; * whether certifications, licenses, and procurement-related records should be mentioned only briefly, if at all; * whether a reduced, neutral version like this would be preferable to the current article while AfD is ongoing. If helpful, I can also prepare a line-by-line proposal showing which current passages should be removed or rewritten. Shekhar-at (talk) 01:48, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
