The result was delete. Consensus is that even if the nomination was by a sockpuppet, the arguments they raised - and others cited by other participants - justify deletion. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:04, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The nominator Ninjaediator has been blocked as a sockpuppet. However, the nomination has some merit so I will leave this debate open. MER-C 18:44, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The nominator is blocked on Wikipedia for sock-puppetry!

(edit conflict)*delete despite this being a sock nomination, I had considered nominating this myself when it was created. I think it's WP:TOOSOON as the sources provided are not the type of coverage we need to see. In particular, the reliance on forbes, which is a contributor piece and "mg magazine" which is by all appearances a new random niche industry publication and I have doubts about its reliability and same for the rest. 22:21, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Delete. Usual PR stuff, especially on Leafy. Non-notable, fails NCORP. Nominated by a sock yes, but still does not excuse the fact that it is mosr probably COI or PAID editing. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 11:02, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Just a PR fluff piece, per the above comments. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:27, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
