Declined speedy, but I don't see how this fulfills WP:CORP, very recently founded startup with no third-party sources or assertion of notability. 2 says you, says two 19:47, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. All I can find is this, and that's not enough. Drmies (talk) 20:02, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete All of the google news sources revolve around getting funding at this point, and from being tied to a notable founder (Barrett Lyon). I'm also concerned that we're WP:Crystal balling with this one, as it's in "Stealth mode", and so far we only know it will have something vaguely to do with "crowsourcing" which is just a buzzword. As for why the speedy was declined I checked with the admin on that one, see discussion. -Optigan13 (talk) 22:58, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, a business founded in December 2009 in stealth mode? MEGO - especially if what's planned is just some kind of PR startup; that kind of business needs to meet a fairly high standard to begin with, and nothing founded within the month should ever pass muster. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:29, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete does not pass WP:CORP; not enough significant coverage in reliable third party sources to merit inclusion. Cocytus [»talk«] 01:02, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep-with edits I would ask for re-consideration, based on Barrett Lyons track record. This is going to be interesting going on, one has to start somewhere. As such, please consider keeping if the stealth mode marketing term is removed, I agree that isn't a 'pedia' type term to use. Note, Barrett will be on NPR Fresh air on January 21 and will be speaking at RSA conference. I must qualify he is a friend, but really this is a start of a story worthy of WikiPedia Sorry If I am not editing this properly.newtonke —Preceding undated comment added 00:55, 5 January 2010 (UTC).[reply]

You're doing okay with your edits. Certainly removing "stealth" will help. OTOH, even if this is deleted, you can ask a friendly admin to restore it when the company meets the notability guidelines, or your friendly admin can move it to your userspace for safekeeping to work on further. tedder (talk) 01:02, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

will-change Thanks, I will give it a look and ask you to re-consider. Appreciate the advice. I will find out more about when announcements will come. But, I recommend keeping until Feb. This launch did make 'the rounds' in tech. I also suggest, Jay Adelson may not be as publicly famous, but his endorsement by investing is tremendous. newtonke —Preceding undated comment added 02:46, 5 January 2010 (UTC).[reply]
