Qwikcilver

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article is a corporate Spam. Press coverage combined into one wiki article. Writing is corporate brochure and reads like a work of online PR. Light2021 (talk) 06:05, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - sources fail WP:CORPDEPTH. shoy (reactions) 17:58, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The company has more than sufficient coverage in Indian newspapers to pass WP:GNG. Reliable third-party sources have statements that indicate it's important in India and growing, such as "Qwikcilver has a lion's share of the Indian gift card market. Now, it plans to go global" (March 2017) and "Qwikcilver is the single largest service provider in the prepaid space" (April 2017). In addition to those sources and sources already in the article, I found the following newspaper articles among others, including a Google News search with many results:
- "QwikCilver riding on rising demand for gift cards" (Business Line, June 2015)
- "Qwikcilver raises $10 million from Sistema, Accel India & others" (The Economic Times, July 2016)
- "Qwikcilver sees spike in giftcard usage post demonetisation" (The Economic Times, December 2016)
- "Gift card co Qwikcilver plans expansion to Russia and SE Asia" (The Economic Times, January 2017)
- "Amazon invests Rs 130 crore in payments arm Amazon Pay India" (MediaNama, July 2017)

Delete -- the above sources lack WP:CORPDEPTH and are routine and / or PR-driven coverage, as in:

"Qwikcilver sees spike in giftcard usage post demonetisation!" Etc.

Delete for lack of sources that discuss the subject directly and detail, beyond company funding, plans, aspirations and self-promotion. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:39, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
