Fails WP:NCORP/WP:SIGCOV. Namedropping clients makes it seem a promotional article. Sources cited are routine business announcements. Kleuske (talk) 10:22, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Business, Transportation, and United Kingdom. Kleuske (talk) 10:22, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: An article nominated for deletion 4 minutes after it was created, which seems too quick to consider whether it is appropriate, what alternatives exist, etc.? In this case, the article creation is presumably triggered by last week's sale announcement, but is basically copied from Linde_plc#Gist_Limited, so needs source attribution whether a distinct article is decided to be appropriate or not.

- If no actual sources exist, WP:BEFORE can be done rather quickly. I did not know about the copy-issue, but it serves to illustrate lack of independent notability as a subsidiary. Kleuske (talk) 11:02, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- This is true. Further improvements have been made since the article was created, as I considered the original sub-category to be lacking for Wiki. Darkieboy236 (talk) 13:18, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Gist will soon change ownership, and therefore will be more or less irrelevant as a subsidiary of Linde plc. It will become a subsidiary of Marks & Spencer and may well again change ownership in the future, and therefore an independent article is more appropriate. I am currently adding to the article to improve it and further establish its importance and relevance. Darkieboy236 (talk) 11:12, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete You sort of lost me at "offers supply chain services including end-to-end management and customer fulfilment through transport and warehousing." to be honest. Add salient details of acquisition to Mars and Spencer, delete this promotional article about a WP:NORG failing company - job done. BTW, an entry exit solution is more elegantly a door.

- It is/was as per the sub-category on Linde plc. Darkieboy236 (talk) 13:11, 26 July 2022 (UTC) Darkieboy236 (talk) 11:12, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
