As far as I can tell this company is notable and simply naming actual numbers is not "promotional" (reality isn't spam, that would be like that mentioning that Ireen Wüst won silver at the Pyongchang Winter Olympics is "promotional"), Wikipedia isn't a place to advertise but we should also be able to distinguish between what is an advertisement and what isn't an advertisement. --Donald Trung (Talk) (Articles) 10:25, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

• P.S. (Post-Script) Some sources are from May while other sources are from October, so this isn't a WP:ONEEVENT company either. --Donald Trung (Talk) (Articles) 10:27, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Comment Biased selection of material to include can be and often is promotional. The relevant guideline is WP:UNDUE. Rentier (talk) 15:13, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. It has been mentioned that "numbers aren't promotional" but articles based on company announcements fails the criteria for establishing notability. Other references fail mainly because they are not intellectually independent and rely on quotations/interviews with company officers, or because the articles focus on the app and not the company (which is the topic of this article). Some of the articles even provide a discount code ... Probably WP:TOOSOON and fails WP:ORGIND and/or WP:CORPDEPTH. HighKing⁺⁺ 19:34, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
