A VPN site with some sources, however, many are blogs or WP:ROTM coverage, a WP:BEFORE also didn't came up any significant depth. Hence, WP:CORPDEPTH/WP:ORG/WP:GNG not met. Quek157 (talk) 17:15, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • You make some good points. Although I created the article, I'm now on the fence about whether it should be kept or not. However, a precedent seems to have been set regarding articles about VPN services; there are multiple articles about VPN services with various notable computer magazines as its only reliable sources (see Category:Virtual private network services). So if AirVPN is deleted, I guess many of the other articles should be deleted as well. Therefore, maybe instead of only discussing the deletion of AirVPN, it would be better to have a more general discussion regarding articles about VPN services? The list Comparison of virtual private network services has survived a nomination for deletion. TunnelBear and VPNBook have both survived a deletion request since editors argued that the computer magazine sources were enough to demonstrate notability.--Stempelquist (talk) 18:26, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
