The result was delete. Participants concluded that while the unconventional work week received coverage, this, coupled with the other references, did not provide significant independent coverage to establish notability. ✗plicit 03:17, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

No indication of notability. I looked them up repeatedly and found nothing other then their promotional page. 🐍 Helen 🐍 21:15, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, all sources linked on the Wikipedia page are independent news sources that are in no way affiliated with Awin, so they do qualify for notabiliy. Additonally, there has been an influx in news coverage on Awin's implementation of the 4-day work week in newspapers such as The Guardian [1], Forbes [2] and Bloomberg [3] which should also account for notability. Adding to that, the Awin wikipedia page is linked on multiple other Wikipedia pages such as "Axel Springer", "Affiliate Network" and "Click Identifier". If there are any issues with the tone of voice of the article, I am happy to adjust but in my opinion it already sounds fairly neutral. Sarahr23 (talk) 10:15, 14 May 2021 (UTC)Sarahr23

- The entirety of coverage in the cited piece in The Guardian is:
A few weeks after the Unilever announcement Awin, an online marketing firm, said its 1,000 employees – including more than 300 based in the UK – would move to a four-day week after trialling several forms of flexible working. Like Awin, Unilever will trust staff to work more effectively during a 12-month pilot project.
- This is too short to constitute coverage of the company. The Forbes and Bloomberg coverage is more extensive, several paragraphs on the same four-day work week topic. My concern would be that there is virtually no coverage of Awin as a business with achievements in its field. It's entirely about their decision to go to a four-day work week, which is shaky grounds for encyclopedic notability. BD2412 T 20:47, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. Coverage is press releases, their rewrites, mentions in passing, and so on. The usual use of Wikipedia to raise the company's profile (i.e. advertising). WP:CORPSPAM. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:48, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
