Not seeing what makes this pass WP:COMPANY. BEFORE does not show anything that's not a passing mention/press release. Could redirect to list of TWC acquisitions or such, perhaps? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 22:41, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Being the 9th largest cable TV operator in the U.S. at the time of acquisition would probably make it reasonably notable. It also operated the major city cable systems in downstate Illinois and some of Indiana and Kentucky; for some reason, some of them went from TCI to AT&T to Insight, then to Comcast in 2007, instead of straight from AT&T to Comcast. (See https://callcenterinfo.tmcnet.com/news/2007/04/04/2463307.htm for an article that originally was from the Peoria Journal Star.) So it's not just a TWC predecessor. It appears that TCI may have owned part of Insight when AT&T bought TCI, so that might have been a factor too. It may take a little digging to get pre-TWC information, since all this cable company consolidation and system swapping was before and during the time that news publications started putting their stories on the web. --Closeapple (talk) 10:21, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Redirect I don't believe the 9th largest of anything imbues notability. NCORP establishes specific guidelines for notability which includes a level of referencing that this article doesn't have, nor seems to be available to it. BIG BURLEY 23:05, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and Burley22. Size has nothing to do with WP:Notability, as evidenced by the AfD for Central 1 Credit Union, which had ~$100 billion in AUA but little press or other reliable, independent source coverage that met WP:SIGCOV and WP:CORPDEPTH. As such, it failed WP:NCORP. I'd offer the weakest of support for a "redirect," as I'm not sure it's helpful in this case. This is an ultra-short stub-class article and there is nothing especially intellectually original worth preserving attribution history that isn't already mentioned in parent company articles. --Doug Mehus T·C 22:42, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
