DriveU

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A directory-like listing for an unremarkable tech startup. Significant RS coverage to meet WP:CORPDEPTH not found. Previously deleted at AfD; pls see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DriveU. The company has raise $1M in funding which strongly suggests that it's WP:TOOSOON for an encyclopedia article. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:58, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- The lede simply does not explain why subject is an encyclopedic topic. Rhadow (talk) 12:33, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not defined by ledes. Maybe if you read the NY Times article, [1], you'd know that this company is not directly competing with Uber or Ola. Unscintillating (talk) 19:01, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The lede says the company is a driver aggregator. I admit that I was not smart enough to recognize immediately that driver aggregation is the business Uber is in. Rhadow (talk) 20:40, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I think this should be deleted. However, it passes WP:GNG, which indicates that if it survives for a reasonable length of time we will want an article. Note that Bloomberg.com shows that the company name is Humble Mobile Solutions Pvt. Ltd. of Bengaluru. Unscintillating (talk) 19:01, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: fails corporate notability standards. Doesn't have reliable citations and I can't find any after a search. Wikipedia isn't a business directory and citations to Bloomberg are no help. DrStrauss talk 20:32, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - aside from WP:ROUTINE coverage and simple mentions, doesn't have enough in-depth coverage from reliable, independent sources to pass WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:12, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
