Tueetor

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

Fails GNG. Refs are two very clear churnalism refs, an interview, a speaker bio, a listcle, and a couple of OK refs. One is already dead. This is a typical page created by a fan or conflicted editor about a new company, looking to use WP to give the company more visibility. Companies at this stage are generally WP:TOOSOON Jytdog (talk) 15:06, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jytdog: Hello! Thank you for your reply. I would like to add a bit of background. From what I can see you don't live in the region this page primarily targets. Tueetor has a large footprint in Asia and has over 100,000 active users (according to its website at least), which should help it achieve some level of notability that does rival a lot of startups that I found on Wikipedia while researching the page. I understand that sourcing is lacking and it helps to prove my claim of notability, however, I did try to include multiple sources from high level news websites from where the company is most prominent such as the e27 articles, Vulture Media, and other sources. It should also be noted that my DealStreetAsia source should be taken seriously. From what I see, the articles on all three of the sources I primarily used were not from press releases, but from editorials composed by writers working for the media source. While one of the sources, admittedly, arouses my suspicions as being a press release, all others are from notable news sources that are popular in the region this company represents. I would like to note that Wikipedia editors living in a different region than what this page primarily serves to help inform or the subject of the article primarily targets would consider CNN or NBC as sources being of higher prevalence than DealStreetAsia, for example, when the sources listed are perfectly sufficient for the region it represents.

However, I am a new editor here on Wikipedia and want to improve in every way. For clarification, I did not write this page as a "fan" or a POI, I live all the way on the other side of the world in North Carolina, USA and wrote this article as the result of scouring the web for notable companies or topics that Wikipedia would benefit from having a page about and deciding to write my article about it. Once again, thank you ahead of time for helping out, and I hope we can work together to be constructive about this and we can build up sourcing and fix some issues rather than simply delete an article. Also, if there are any Wikipedia editors native to Japan, Singapore, or Vietnam, I welcome any input from you!

Thanks for your note. Nothing you wrote changes my evaluation of this page in light of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, or the nomination. Jytdog (talk) 18:09, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:GNG. --Vituzzu (talk) 17:31, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Vituzzu: - Elaborate further. Hounding me from the Italian Wikipedia and leaving a "fail WP:GNG" notice in less than 5 minutes after you left a note on my talk page about an unrelated issue is both suspicious and subjective. WikiSniki (talk) 18:00, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A run-of-the-mill online business with no indications of notability. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion not a web directory or yellow pages. The provided references fail the criteria for establishing notability for organizations/companies. References rely extensively on interviews/quotations from related sources with no original and intellectually independent opinion/analysis and fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:12, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
