I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:DGG with the following rationale "acompany that size is likely to be notable . First check for sources; then, only if not found, nominate for deletion at AfD.". I don't see any sources for stand alone notability; at best this could be merged to List of mergers and acquisitions by Yahoo!.

- How about a mention and redirect to the parent company? I assume that a proper article can be written from secondary sources, if anyone wanted to do so, but there's no sense in keeping a short thing like this around. -- Y not? 17:21, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- I an totally fine with a merge and redirect closure at any point. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 20:18, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

- Merge and redirect I would be satisfied by that also. DGG ( talk ) 02:08, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect as mentioned, clearly not solid as a separate article. SwisterTwister talk 06:33, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
