Covered mostly in WP:TRADES. This article is probably the best about them but it lacks in-depth analysis and is full of quotes like "Whelan said", "he said" or regurgitated press release information. Fails WP:NCORP. Gheus (talk) 02:57, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

This article is supported by multiple high-quality, independent sources. The company is notable both in terms of media coverage and industry impact, and the current article includes properly cited, verifiable information. It should not be deleted.

We removed sections that looked like advertising and performed extensive rewrites. Happy to make further improvements if needed. Thanks Dylan909 (talk) 22:48, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Delete: All the current sources are routine business coverage and/or non-independent, such as product announcements, press releases/churnalism, investment news, etc. I found one product review but nothing else. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 17:42, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
I'm not really sure how any company is meant to build a page without routine business coverage? Dylan909 (talk) 20:57, 11 August 2025 (UTC)
Companies are not entitled to "build a page" on Wikipedia. Most companies do not meet Wikipedia's special notability criteria for businesses, and articles about companies are not controlled by the companies themselves but rather serve as a neutral summary of what has been written about them.

In that case, I propose deleting all company pages. Don't just single one out. I registered my COI. Ive checked lots of other company pages. No other editors do that. But you've targeted this page for some reason... Dylan909 (talk) 10:27, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Final relist. There is an unbolded Keep here so Soft deletion is not possible. A source analysis would be helpful.

Delete - seems to me that there's a fairly clear case of WP:NOTHERE in the sense that the content appears to be on Wikipedia for marketing purposes. I think it is unlikely that the company meets WP:NCORP but this could change in the future. Seems like the best option might be to wait until an uninvolved non-COI comes to work on a page.
