For clarity, can I ask specifically what your issue with the sources I added are? StartOkayStop (talk) 19:06, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Gamblingnews.com is no better than a press release. Anything that quotes press releases and add no critical commentary is a puff piece. Three of your cites are the entity, itself, so they're not
  WP:GNG: that is, there are not enough reliable sources with in-depth coverage to claim the subject is notable. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:47, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply

  Comment: If we accept the premise that the subject of this article is a genuine media outlet then looking for in-depth coverage is not the right criteria to use. Media outlets generally don’t write deep profiles of other media outlets. There’s a few essays on this. Not casting a vote yet as I haven’t looked too far into this one specifically just making a comment on the lack of “in-depth” coverage here. WilsonP NYC (talk) 02:06, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  It is one of the most significant trade magazines in the industry. PaulT2022 (talk) 16:26, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I agree with Chris troutman’s assessment of the sources as inadequate. The one possible exception is SportBusiness; it’s behind a paywall and I can’t review it.

Keep: I originally didn't want to vote, but, seeing the lack of participation, I am going to vote keep because I don't want this to get
WP:AFDPROD'd. I agree with the assessment that several of the sources are inadequate-- but, as @WilsonP NYC said, finding in-depth coverage of media outlets like this that meet all 5 GNG criteria is difficult, particularly when it's in a niche like online gambling. That said, while I would consider it as passing notability currently, I will work to add more sources to prove it further. StartOkayStop (talk) 04:54, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply
