This article describes a newer trade group. It would be common in early stage to not have a large variety of sources. This article does cite prominent corporations in the marketplace working on these standards. In this regard this page is no different to the early startup period of many other similar groups on Wikipedia including to name a few:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_Special_Interest_Group

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Alliance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSMA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectivity_Standards_Alliance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Electrical_and_Electronics_Engineers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apache_Software_Foundation Mccamon (talk) 18:16, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And I should have added, I used the Wi-Fi Alliance and Bluetooth pages as my template outline to create the page in the first place. Mccamon (talk) 18:24, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hello Liz, thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I would consider draftification as an appropriate WP:ATD here. MrsSnoozyTurtle 07:10, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning to keep - a relatively new nonprofit organisation formed by several notable organisations. Being new - not a huge amount of secondary sources however there are some available with sigcov - this is a good example. I've started to clean up some of the article but it does need more work. I would concur draftify preferable in the event of a deletion result. ResonantDis_tortion 09:53, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep ResonantDistortion is correct, meets our guidelines for inclusion. Lightburst (talk) 23:39, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
