There seems to be some WP:REFBOMBing. The highest quality references here (e.g. Economist, Wall Street Journal) contain only the most incidental of mentions, others (e.g. San Jose Mercury News) have WP:ROUTINE coverage of hirings and promotions. All outlets which do contain more substantial mentions are those sources we have, typically, not considered creditable for purposes of establishing WP:N (e.g. business journals, Bloomberg company directory profiles etc.). Some sources are repeated multiple times under different names but are, in fact, the same source (e.g. " "Elsevier and NetBase Launch illumin8" credited both to something called Information Today and to something else called Newsbreak). A standard BEFORE finds a few dozens additional references, all of which are more incidental mentions, inclusion in analyst reports, or press releases. Fails GNG.

  • Comment the article looks like it was part of the same PR campaign as some of the references, such as [1]. There's virtually nothing on recent activity. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:57, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
