Talk:Torstar

message: The cited material comes from the JCI Technologies article on Wikipedia that has been deleted, so more skilled users will be able to find that article and complete the citation.  I'd added a lot of cited content to the JCI Technologies page and I'm not sure why that article was deleted. In my view it was a little known but critical historical event in Canadian internet/publishing history and JCI is long gone but it was an important part of the historical timeline in the ongoing and slow demise of the newspaper publishing business in Canada.  I knew none of the people involved and never worked for any of the companies involved but once did subscribe to newspapers and did read newspapers and once invested a negligible sum in JCI, so I was aware of the story and thought it was an important little known fact that should be recorded like a lost battle in a war which potentially changed the course of history.

thread_title: Missing citation for Past Investments - JCI Technologies 

message: Below is one of the links from the JCI Technologies article on Wikipedia. Note the reference article's date of Nov 27, 1995. This is early in the rise of the internet so naturally there would not have been much coverage on the internet at the time let alone surviving to today. That's why I suppose many early events in the rise of the internet are destined for deletion.   Additionally, I still really don't understand how a historical wikipedia article can be deemed a "promotional" piece and subjected to deletion.  "Delete as seems more promotional than anything. –Davey2010 • (talk) 21:57, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Torstar.gif

message: Not sure who added all of the specifics about the motion by Canadian Modern Media Holdings Inc. to cancel the sale, or why so much detail was necessary. (And one long paragraph has no citation to confirm the content).
In any event, the amount of content about CMMH is excessive.
...particularly now that the motion has been quashed by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Divisional Court). "Having carefully read the material filed and considered the submissions of the parties, I have concluded that the motion for a stay of the order ... must be dismissed." https://www.thestar.com/business/2020/07/30/court-considers-temporary-hold-on-nordstar-takeover-of-toronto-star-publisher.html

   Late in the evening on July 27, an Ontario court approved the $60-million takeover of Torstar Corp. by private equity firm NordStar Capital LP over the objections of the rival bidding group, which immediately said it planned to appeal the judge’s decision. [40] Ontario Superior Court Justice Cory Gilmore ruled NordStar, controlled by entrepreneurs Jordan Bitove and Paul Rivett, could close their purchase of Torstar, setting aside requests from competing bidder Canadian Modern Media Holdings Inc. to re-open an auction of the company. CMMH had formalized its rumoured bid the previous Monday, having submitted a formal offer for 80 cents per share for Torstar on July 20, more than a week after the families and Fairfax pledged their support to NordStar.
     Canadian Modern Media Holdings Inc. had complained that shareholders were not given the opportunity to assess that bid, and that the nondisclosure agreements (NDA) they were subject to prevented the details from being made public. After the ruling, CMMH said it would seek leave to appeal the decision, saying it still believes that the NordStar deal is "neither fair nor reasonable." As such, CMMH stated it expects to "immediately commence an appeal of today’s decision and will seek a stay of Justice Gilmore’s decision, preventing the closing of the plan, pending the determination of the appeal."
