The result was delete. I feel the presentation of sources was sufficiently refuted by those advocating delete, and their refutations were not responded to, so I must accept them as being correct. On that basis, consensus exists to delete. Daniel (talk) 06:11, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Fails WP:ORG, News are only about funding, investment & announements. Lordofhunter (talk) 10:21, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Business and India. Lordofhunter (talk) 10:21, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - The nom states that "News are only about funding, investment & announements." These areas still have significant coverage, and it is not the case that WP:ORG is failed. The ⬡ Bestagon[t][c] 12:58, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

*In a prior afd, references were not significant; but, in this article, the news coverage appears to be passing WP:RS. Although few are press announcements, I tend to lean toward soft Keep.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Keep [1][2][3][4] are all independent, reliable, and significant sources about khatabook. This is enough to satisfy WP:GNG. Carpimaps (talk) 14:08, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Response Businessinder News, Livemint etc, all are based on funding, investors. None of them is helping to establish notability. Lordofhunter (talk) 06:37, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delete This is a company/organization therefore WP:NCORP guidelines apply. We need at least two deep or significant sources containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "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.
- None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability of the company, based as they are on announcements and/or information provided by the company/executives with no "Independent Content". Perhaps The Bestagon and Carpimaps can link to specific sources (and paragraph numbers) that meet NCORP (not just GNG) and which contain in-depth and significant "Independent Content" that meets NCORP as I am unable to locate any sources that are sufficient.

- Delete: per HighKing. Subject fails NCORP. ––FormalDude (talk) 05:34, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
