Promotional article about a company that fails WP:CORP and WP:SIGCOV. Note that it was declined in AFC but the author still ignored review and moved to main-space anyway.

At this point it's just passing mentions and regular press release piece. Lapablo (talk) 18:13, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I read over all the sources, and none of these provide any substantial detail about the company - they're inclusions in lists of similar companies or announcements of what looks like not very notable awards. One is a reposted press release. - MrOllie (talk) 19:49, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep I can't find very many reliable sources that have significant coverage of 42Gears, but one is the Gartner UEM MQ. The public-facing report doesn't have any info on 42Gears, but the full report does. Gartner's full reports are generally behind paywalls as their business model is to sell their research, but companies featured in the report tend to buy the reprint rights. I did manage to find a freely available reprint on wordpress here, which I validated to be the same report as on gartner.com by registering for the official reprint on Microsoft's website. I also found a second potentially reliable source on the Silicon Review; I found nothing about this website on WP:RSN, and it is used as a reference on about 16 or so articles. This article claims to have been written by the review staff and not lifted from a press release. Unfortunately everything else I found was mainly press releases or passing mentions.
