- Delete - every single source was paid placement/PR; some black hat SEO mixed in as well. Kuru (talk) 17:33, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- Hello, I have undone your changes because the page is still in development and those sources can indeed be replaced by other ones but removing all of them at once will only make things worse by making the job more complicated, even among the press releases, 30% only were Press releases and those releases were from third party companies, i.e OCBC bank and the public investment fund of Saudi arabia, the Articles about the PIF almost exclusively brag about that specific organization and dedicated only one paragraph to Solomartel.The remaining ones, I.e 70% of those were legitimate news articles, those were legitimate articles covering investment deals, they were written in a neutral tone and were not promotional articles, plz add evidence to your claim that would nullify the nature of the article. Moreover, all news outlets need to disclose paid advertising content, even among the Press releases, news organizations always verify the legitimacy of the news pieces before publishing any content on their platforms even for Paid press releases, to try this yourself, contact any PR firm and try to publish any piece of news without clear evidence and having them dig up an investigation. Plz feel free to contribute but plz be more careful with my work so as to not vandalize it, will only make things worse and more difficult for me, I thank you very much in advance.

- As a new editor, that's never had a previous account here for sure, I can see how you're confused. You chose to create this page in article space; it's live and subject to editorial policy and guidelines. If you'd like to use the draft space in the future, that's probably a good place where you can claim "development" and learn a little more about our guidelines on reliable sources. I can see absolutely zero "legitimate news articles", nor can I find anything in a neutral tone. Almost every single source is silly puffery written for paid placement or press releases. The claim that press releases are vetted and fact-checked through the syndicated feeds is absolute nonsense. Most reputable published will clearly denote press reprints and include explicit disclaimers of editorial oversight or involvement. As such, these will never be considered reliable sources for any extraordinary claim, especially not those dealing with financial considerations and return claims. Buy hey, let's look through this crap:
- disruptmagazine.com: this is one of the worst: it's a paid placement hub for blackhat seo that we're run across a million times before. the guest blogger only posts puffy adcopy across multiple sites. this is not a RS in any way.
- www.buzzfeed.com/gywobyv/ngf-f3zpnytidb: This is a "community post" from an unknown author with a stolen template photo. no idea why you would this this is acceptable.
- hindustantimes.com: This is a "Brand post" with an editorial disclaimer ("This content is distributed by Digpu News network. No HT journalist is involved in creation of this content.") On The "Digpu" site, this is clearly marked as a paid placement press release.
- marketwatch.com: very clearly marked as press release, with a clear disclaimer of oversight.
- apnews.com: very clearly marked as press release, with a clear disclaimer of oversight.
- business-standard.com: very clearly marked as press release, with a clear disclaimer of oversight.
- theprint.in: exact same press release as above, including the same disclaimers.
- aninews.in: exact same press release as above, including the same disclaimers.
- ibtimes.sg: this is a depreciated source and cannot be used on Wikipedia at all, please see WP:IBTIMES. oddly enough, it's depreciated for the exact same reason many of the others are on this list: junk articles that fail to identify paid influences.
- cyber.harvard.edu: This is pretty interesting. It's an open wiki that was left unmoderated and is now almost 100% pure spam - poke around there a bit. The main page of that wiki starts with "Whether it’s your first wedding anniversary or your 50th, your anniversary is a special day to tell your partner how much you love them" and is covered in spam links. This also comes across as pretty suspect behavior - why in the world would you have thought this was acceptable? How did you evaluate it?
- canvas.ubc.ca: unpublished student blog post that sources press releases and paid placement junk. This is not, in any way, a peer-reviewed publication by that institution - it would get utterly trashed.
- deccanchronicle.com: Sorry, the Deccan Chronicle is terrible; they fail to label adcopy all the time. You cannot look at me with a straight face and say "iconic Solomartel real estate fund" or "dubbed by many as America's most profitable publicly available real estate investment" is not complete drivel.
- After re-reviewing the sources, I have to ask this: do you have a conflict of interest with this firm? It's very difficult to imagine that you've mis-read the veracity of those sources this poorly. Also, stop with the "vandalism" claims; this is clearly not that. Kuru (talk)

- Delete - all the sources that were previously present were from deprecated sources or were clearly marked as paid-for articles or "community contributor" pieces, which are clearly unacceptable. A quick search for suitable replacement sources didn't yield anything. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 20:26, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
Keep, This company is a well known company out here in Punjab, they have been bhiring many programmers also, I heard they have been building lots of properties in India also, it is almost a part of popular culture at this point.Muhammadsaqibmughal (talk) 13:19, 20 December 2021 (UTC) — Muhammadsaqibmughal (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. (Blocked sock, see WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Murgh Krahi). Spicy (talk) 04:48, 23 December 2021 (UTC)- Delete. Press releases are not independent sources. Also, a note for all the sockpuppets / 'new editors' voting keep - this is not a vote, if your arguments are not grounded in policy they will be ignored. There is no substitute for bringing real reliable sources. - MrOllie (talk) 14:05, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete Vanity spam sourced to paid for black hat SEO nonsense. There is no actual reliable coverage. SANTADICAE🎅 21:37, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - clearly not a good faith attempt to contribute to the encyclopedia, given the sockpuppetry. Undisclosed paid-for spam and sockpuppetry should not be rewarded. MER-C 16:20, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete: Sources are not independent of the subject Megan B.... It’s all coming to me till the end of time 09:55, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
