Classic spam, fails WP:NCORP. There's a ton of references, but most of them look like routine coverage, press releases, etc that don't meet WP:SIRS. The editing history is largely a sequence of throw-away WP:UPE accounts. It's not quite bad enough for WP:G11. There's a bunch of copyvios as seen in the earwig report, but not quite bad enough for WP:G12. In theory, I could cut them out, but it would leave a jumbled mess, and I can't see investing the effort to re-write this. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:21, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As per nom and noted in the previous AFD (which was closed to DEL, btw - so I'm not sure how the article has somehow resurfaced(?) or has been recreated by throw-away accounts (?), the subject appears to fail WP:NCORP as almost of the sources are generated from either press releases, contributors (with no editorial integrity), and some are just outright 404. --Infogapp1 (talk) 19:16, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge - I think this article is notable, though I recognize it could be seen as spam, in which case a merge would be appropriate with AppMakr. I've found these articles (1 2) and the page can be updated accordingly. Vivekpegasus (talk) 08:14, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep currently there are a lot of citations easily passing WP:GNG could be a case of objections per nom but as per sources it passes GNG "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list."JK.Kite (talk) 07:08, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is still possible to improve the article in order to be more compliant to the editorial standards of Wikipedia if it is not, or at least to the editorial preferences of Wikipedia editors. The subject is notable and directly contributes to its field of subject, so deletion must only proceed if it is definitely impossible to improve the existing article.

Delete : Based on the edit history on the page, there are multiple socks trying to add content to the article. Fails notability for Corporations. Likely a scam. AngusMEOW (chatter • paw trail) 12:39, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
