I agree with the original prod however, this was paid for spam created several years ago, apparently under the radar and has resulted in citogenesis. There is no true in depth coverage of Gardenista or Remodelista (hence the bundle.) It's all PR puffery, passing mentions or unreliable nonsense.

I think you're right about paid contributions, however both Remodelista and Gardenista are known names here in the US. Let me see if I can clean up the articles with some real citations and lose the junk. -- EricAhlqvistScott (talk) 04:41, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated Remodelista with proper citations, new structure, removed paid spam articles etc. Requesting that deletion notice is removed. Planning to do the same for Gardenista EricAhlqvistScott (talk) 20:56, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting due to concerns expressed by Praxidicae that I should allow more discussion and that I have commented, encouraging keep, of articles related to this subject. Thanks everyone for assuming good faith.

Strong Keep. I've already revised Remodelista. Will do the same cleanup for Gardenista over the weekend. EricAhlqvistScott (talk) 07:21, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Looks like a notable company from the references and coverage. Most importantly, editing is a preferred alternative to deletion, so kudos to EricAhlqvistScott! JUN1U5 (talk) 15:28, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep both I find that these are two notable internet publications. They both have multiple RSs. My WP:BEFORE revealed non0trivial secondary sources. Lightburst (talk) 01:53, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Although this is listed under AfDs for organisations/companies (and it would deffo fail WP:NCORP as the sources fail ORGIND and/or CORPDEPTH), the article seems to me to fit more in with WP:WEB which has a much looser adherence and interpretation of the criteria for establishing notability.
