The result was Keep; significant rewrite/cleanup is desperately needed. However, notability is established and there are secondary sources present and more to be had. Non-admin closure per WP:NAC #1. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:18, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Regardless of notability, this article would need WP:TNT. It was written by an undisclosed paid editor, and the sourcing is almost exclusively either the company itself, a Weebly fansite (yes, really), or directory-type information such as market stats. Guy (Help!) 14:46, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. This is a major satellite broadcaster in Malaysia and it is also a company listed on the stock exchange. But I do agree that it needs major work and a thorough cleanup. – SMasters (talk) 10:52, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep but stubify to a neutral state - Although I'm not Malaysian, I am aware of the company as being one of the biggest, if not the biggest television service provider in Malaysia, and a search confirms this status and results in coverage for the company: enough to pass WP:NCORP. However, the article is quite a mess and is essentially a promotional piece; as such, if the article is to be kept, the closer or any other editor should probably reduced the article to a short neutrally-worded stub then work from there. Basically WP:TNT without destroying the building. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:25, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep unarguably this meet notability guideline but AfD is not cleanup. It can be restructured, reorganized without necessarily deletion. It has millions of viewers and satisfy all requirements of WP:BCAST, I will work in trimming down the promo language, but we shouldn't destroy while we are building –Ammarpad (talk) 18:32, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
