Fails ORGCRITE, SIRS, and CORPDEPTH. Lacking sources with independent and significant coverage. Also see, ADMASQ. Steve Quinn (talk) 00:30, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from nom. Previous AfD in 2012 resulted in delete. According to the nom of that AfD this page was speedily deleted, recreated, and was still SPAM. It failed "...wp:corp or any other WP:N you want to use."

Two and one half years later, this page was re-created in July 2014 [1]. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 00:45, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Concur with nom; there's only the one short article in the Globe that gives any coverage at all to the subject, and that's just a pop culture piece because this outfit's CEO popped off as a publicity stunt. Ravenswing 18:52, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP.
