Non notable online educational platform. Promotional article. There is no significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Most of sources are interview, press release and about an actor who joined as brand campaign. Fails WP:GNG, WP:NCORP.
Also this article most likely paid editing. This photo was published in this interview-type news. Article creator also uploaded same photo here on commons with high quality. I am not sure how they got it if they don't have any connnetion. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 18:29, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Most sources seem to be PR-type announcements, funding and acquisitions and such. Potential copyvio image, article appears promotional. Many red flags here. Oaktree b (talk) 18:33, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Delete as nommed; promo piece with likely COI/UPE issues. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:48, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Delete I just declined an AIV report on the article creator as insufficiently warned and recommended for now that we just let this play out. So, in the interests of that, I agree with other delete !voters that a lot of the sourcing for this seems more like wire-service puffery than anything that really establishes notability, and there are large stretches without any sourcing. Further, much of it is peacockery.
All these things together suggest to me that this is not an article about a notable subject that was just written as promo, it is an article about a presently non-notable company. Daniel Case (talk) 19:01, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

- Strong Delete. The article is thoroughly promotional and almost bordering (but probably not eligible for) WP:G11. It completely fails WP:NCORP per the existing references and refs my WP:BEFORE search found, which are a collection of non-WP:CORPDEPTH standard notices on acquisitions, investments, and other routine announcements.
