Essentially every source here is a notice or press release, wherever published. There does not seem to be enough underlying importance to sugegst that the would be more. DGG ( talk ) 02:43, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There are just 2 press release sources, that can easily be replaced. This is one of the few startups in Robotic Process Automation - a nascent industry that many industry pundits say it will have a huge impact on the future of work. There are news and coverings of the space every other day. This is covered by top tier consultancy companies like PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, Everest etc.. Here are some more sources/references:

  • Keep WP:ZEAL UiPath evolved from a Screen Scraping software to a full blown RPA (robotic process automation) platform. It is still one of the best Screen Scraping software out there. Just Google "screen scraping software" or "screen scraping". In this field it competes with the web based Import.io. Import.io has sources like its Crunchbase profile. UiPath also has it. In the RPA space it's main competitor is Automation Anywhere. This has even less sources. I'm not sure how compelling this arguments are, but it's more than "I'm still not finding anything actually convincing at all". Also this:

Inviting nominator DGG for analysis for the sources listed, as I myself am going through them, Vladdione and RoboticRPA and these are either still essentially PR (note you have even included "customer" websites). What we need is actual coverage from news, it seems particularly none of the listed sources here are actually convincing. I have to also note that unacceptable sources also include interviews, social media, news about funding partnerships and finances. For example, also #6 by RoboticRPA is simply a Microsoft product listing. SwisterTwister talk 16:50, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
comment 1' First I'll discuss the arguments: "- a nascent industry that many industry pundits say it will have a huge impact on the future of work. There are news and coverings of the space every other day." is not evidence of the significance of the discussion about hte particular company. This is basically an argument that "I know its important" DGG ( talk ) 00:56, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment -- the sources presented at this AfD are either PR, corporate blogs, directory listings, and otherwise generally non-RS or non-independent sources. It's all rather trivial, for example: "The Emerging Opportunities for Automating Enterprise Businesses", from SymphonyHQ with a link to the company's blog. This is telling us that this is an emerging industry, with companies doing a lot of PR and vying for funding, but not yet worthy of note by an encyclopedia.

  • Comment - I will also note this should been kept to be closed as Delete because the Keep comments cannot honestly actually be taken seriously, they are not convincing for establishing the needed substance. With this said, I hope this can get closer to an emphasized Delete. SwisterTwister talk 02:31, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Sorry, but this fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Many of the sources are either unreliable or redressed press releases or online magazines with limited readership. Slideshare is purely user submitted content ad is the wiki on Github. The few reliable sources I find simply talk about a partnership with another company and that too not in detail. I am unable to see any evidence that the company in notable. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 10:15, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
