Long-lasting promotional article about a site that has long been notorious to those fighting its spam, but not notable in WP:RSes on the evidence. Has been tagged for bad sourcing since 2012; looking through the history, this appears never to have been referenced to RSes well enough to support its claims of notability. Promotional editors have often stopped by to add multiple paragraphs of brochure puffery, though the current version has been cleared of these. A WP:BEFORE does not show independent third-party coverage in RSes that would meet WP:CORP, WP:NWEB, WP:GNG or any other notability guideline; indeed, there's basically negligible RS coverage to base an article on - lots of press releases, some churnalism and some passing mentions. I'd be happy to be shown wrong with multiple RS coverage, but it'd need to be shown. - David Gerard (talk) 19:42, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
