• Keep. Yes, there are many sources without independence or reliability. However, there are also independent and reliable sources as The Register, The Registar again, Reuters, Vice, Bit-Tech, Info Security and Gizmodo. The coverage goes beyond routine coverage. Meets WP:GNG. ✍A.WagnerC (talk) 13:38, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, enough coverage for WP:GNG Justiyaya 19:07, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Stong keep Easily meets notability requirements, one of the most discussed email providers in recent years—blindlynx (talk) 22:07, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per the cited articles above. Plus, I am aware of multiple people whom have used ProtonMail for quite some time. --Tautomers_{(T C)} 05:24, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, clearly enough good sources to establish notability. NemesisAT (talk) 22:32, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per A.WagnerC ‎⠀Trimton⠀‎‎ 09:22, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, one of the most widely known alternatives to Gmail and widely used by journalists and activists for secure email. Bigeyedbeansfromvenus (talk) 15:23, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Extremely strong keep. It seems we need to revisit the AfD process and notifications given to users before they bring an article here, to curb down the recent influx of articles brought here incorrectly. Dr. Universe (talk) 07:35, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Per A.WagnerC. The notability policy WP:NEXIST says, "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article." --WhirlWithoutEnd (talk) 11:20, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, maybe even SNOW - Notable service. Melmann 12:11, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - ProtonMail has millions of users (as stated in the Wikipedia article). It provides "zero access encryption",[1] but it is a controversial service and that might be a lie[2] ("Protonmail Dev's Do Not Use Protonmail", in 2018 it didn't really have end-to-end encryption[3]). --User123o987name (talk) 02:44, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
