- Keep notable [1][2][3][4][5][6] and a company with multiple notable subsidiaries shouldn't be a redirect to one of them. The draft can be merged. Peter James (talk) 12:08, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per the sources posted by Peter James, meets WP:NCORP in my opinion. Financial Times reference is actually written by its sister website Nikkei Asia [7]. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 14:38, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment As an addition, the article should move to Sea (company), which seems to be WP:COMMONNAME in these sources. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 14:40, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, the company's subsidiaries are notable, and the parent itself is getting quite a bit of coverage in Finance RSes. -Shivertimbers433 (talk) 21:26, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment If it's really the case that Garena has been rebranded as Sea, then surely either this or the Garena article needs to go, they can't both be about the same company, only under different names. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:11, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment ...and another thing: the holding company, if it really is only that, ie. holding and not trading, is unlikely to be notable (and no, it does not inherit notability from its subsidiaries, as has been suggested). If, however, the argument is that Sea isn't properly a holding company but rather the corporate umbrella for its various (notable or non-notable) subsidiaries, and is in fact a trading entity itself, then I think this article should stay and the subsidiary articles be merged and redirected here. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:11, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
- Merge info to these pages Shopee and Garena, since its just their holding company. Lesliechin1 (talk) 19:16, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
