Article is about a planned restaurant chain that hasn't opened yet. Many references are included in the article: the vast majority are reprints of a single news release (https://www.sharesmagazine.co.uk/news/market/LSE20221107070008_4569826/launch-of-roadside-restaurant-brand-brightside) as can be seen by the identical quotations. Only in-depth articles are about the former Little Chef brand, and none of those articles mention anything about Brightside Roadside. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH, in that the references all either meet the examples of trivial coverage, have no coverage at all, or are from corporate news releases. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:31, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    How about a merger with the Loungers PLC page? Theyhave expressed that this chain will be rolled out pan-UK like the rest of its portfolio - in which case we can de-merge? Kinrefgrade (talk) 20:53, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That would work well. That's how Wikipedia typically handles segments of a big company: preferably have the segment discussed within the big company page, and if the big company's page gets too big (and the segment is notable on its own), then the segment can get its own page. See WP:PRODUCT. If you agree to doing that, then we can ask for this deletion discussion to be closed.
    Note that the business will only be demerged if it needs to be and it is notable on its own.
    We should also leave a redirect from Brightside Roadside to the parent company as long as Brightside Roadside is in the parent's page. That way, people looking for Brightside Roadside will find the information easily. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 22:15, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree, sounds good Kinrefgrade (talk) 23:18, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, I put in a request for early closure (Wikipedia:Closure_requests#Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Brightside_Roadside). Thanks for producing a helpful solution to the problem. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 23:40, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Brightside added to Loungers page Kinrefgrade (talk) 20:38, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, I'll redirect it. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:43, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
