weak keep The COI is bad, but no reason to delete. The interest from Y Combinator is enough (just enough, so far) to convince me that it's worth keeping. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:12, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It seems to be notable per the three sources there; also, I believe that more sources can be out there. I will take a look and reassess if needed. — Ṙ ΛΧΣ²¹ 02:24, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep "Ark" is a challenge to search for, but there is also an AllThingsD article on the company. I am dubious about the DailyCal being considered reliable, but even without it, there look to be multiple independent sources from reliable publishers, so that the company, if not the search engine, seems notable. I agree that the the COI is bad, but given the notability, it is not a reason to delete. --Mark viking (talk) 01:48, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
