The result was keep. Seems like we have enough evidence and arguments for notability. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 07:58, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This was previously speedy deleted. It has been recreated by WP:SPA and likely WP:COI User:Conway2166 , and tagged for notability issues by User:Staszek Lem. I've taken a look and I concur that the coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. The refs are mostly business-as-usual from your usual press-release republishing startup coverage sites. Only one source from VentureBeat ([1]) looks like reasonable coverage... but I don't think a single blog (and this is what VB) is makes much difference here. It is WP:CORPSPAM written for promotional purposes. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:53, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• delete insufficient independent evidence of notability. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:06, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as missing international articles in Swedish, 2, 3, Spanish, Turkish. Will defer to other editors on removal of POV bios (Tnooz, Technapex, etc.) Burroughs'10 (talk) 12:44, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• • The fact that it is mentioned on some other sites is not sufficient. Can you comment on them? Are they major, reliable Swedish/Turkish newspapers or something? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:42, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• • • Keep, answering the above question from Piotr. I've personally heard of El País and do not live in Span. That is Spain's largest newspaper (see Wikipedia article I linked to). The others also appear to be major publications after looking through Wikipedia: Dagens Industri (link), Aftonbladet (link, founded 1830), Svenska Dagbladet (link, founded 1884), Hürriyet (listed as major newspaper of Turkey) Ferrari250 (talk) 00:21, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I'm fine with it at this point. I added the refs in places where machine translate could be fairly certain the ref was actually supporting the content. I left out Hürriyet, since it looks a bit click baity. TEN THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOU WANTED TO CLICK ON BUT DO! TimothyJosephWood 19:28, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
