• Keep Coverage is available in WP:RS. Meets GNG. DmitriRomanovJr (talk) 12:54, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
• Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations is WP:NCORP and applies a stricter interpretation of requirements than for other topics. In short, WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "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. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and the Keep !voters above appear to be referencing GNG and not NCORP. Having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 14:06, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

  • Response There is nothing in either of GNG or NCORP that says that the volume of sources is an indicator of notability, so your comment that there are more than enough sources available carries no weight. I posted the relevant sections from NCORP and emphasised CORPDEPTH and ORGIND in the hope that an editor would avoid posting links without providing any valid rationale.
  • Deccan Chronicle is PR from a product launch, fails ORGIND. No in-depth information on the company, fails CORPDEPTH.
  • Firstpost is a product review but the topic of this article is the company, not the product. No in-depth information provided about the company, fails CORPDEPTH
  • Telegraph is a product review, fails for the same reason as above
  • Economic Times India relies entirely on information provided by the CEO, fails ORGIND. Also provided no in-depth information on the company, fails CORPDEPTH
  • Yahoo is a company announcement, fails ORGIND
  • Asian Age is a product review, fails CORPDEPTH for the same reasons as the other product reviews. The topic is the company, not one of their products.
  • Financial Express is another product review, fails for the same reasons as above
  • Hindu Business Line another product review, fails for the same reasons as above
  • DigiAnalysis is yet another product review, fails for the same reasons as above.
  • Deccan Herald (second article) fails to even mention the topic company, no idea why this was included
  • CNET Download written by the topic company, primary source. No idea why this was included.
  • Digital Terminal company announcement of a new CEO, fails ORGIND
  • AdGully company announcement of new CEO, fails ORGIND
  • BISInfotech entirely relies on a Q&A with the CEO, fails ORGIND
  • Mobility relies entirely on an interview (or interaction as it is called) with the CEO, fails ORGIND
  • Business Standard company announcement, fails ORGIND
  • TechPluto interview with CEO, fails ORGIND

Not a single reference comes close to meeting the criteria for establishing notability, they're all "echo chamber" articles which rely on interviews and information provided by the company, or they're product reviews which don't provide any in-depth information on the company.

• Delete. Not notable and lack of reliable sources. 2A00:23C6:3B82:8500:69F9:FD38:CB6C:FB95 (talk) 02:51, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

• Keep and consider rename to Riversong Technology products or List of Riversong Technology products. Metedeice (talk · contribs) has posted numerous reliable sources that provide significant coverage about Riversong Technology's products through reviews. The products meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Product reviews and Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. Per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion, the article should be retained and possibly moved to a title that represents what the sources largely focus on: Riversong Technology's products.

• Weak delete. Better than nothing but all sources look like rewritten press releases or fail SIGCOV. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:48, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
