The result was delete. The two 'maintain' arguments do not discuss whether the article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies. After putting those aside, there is a clear consensus to delete (I did notice that Ekkuto made both a 'maintain' and 'keep' argument). Malcolmxl5 (talk) 19:54, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete unable to find secondary sources regarding subject. The references currently used are either press releases or from someone directly related to the company. Elaenia (talk) 01:53, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maintain The company is making a lot of great progress using the findings from extensive research into Lacratin to develop treatments for dry eye. I would very much like to follow it's progress and have the information accessible here. It has been able to raise over $3 million so I would very much consider it a notable company.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ekkuto (talkcontribs) — Ekkuto (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
It exists and makes money is not a policy-based argument. Doesn't show it passes WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:29, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/TearSolutions:

Maintain: In addition to a diverse news sources, I found info about this sbir.gov database indicating its innovative work in an underserved area of biopharma. Would like to keep tabs on its important advances Keepnaet (talk) 13:55, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep As far as meeting the WP:GNG. It has received coverage from sources that both reliable and independent such as the Journal of Biological Chemistry to cover the innovation around lacratin and from Bloomberg Business and Crunchbase to cover the business and fund raising side of TearSolutions. The form of dry eye targeted by the company affects at least 7% of world population with no effective treatment at the moment. Lacratin is a novel innovation and Tearsolutions is an early stage company so I hope that we do not penalize the idea and business for having these qualities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ekkuto (talk)
