This article is about a company that has very little press coverage and is likely self-promotion, furthermore, it is created by an account with very few edits. James Richards (talk) 19:56, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - per WP:DEMOLISH & WP:COMPANY. Notable and IMO an NZ success story of a company. Surprised this was nominated for deletion, what about than making edits to remove (unspecified/percieved) self promotional content? I included news citations in the initial publish. Just pasted several more in Talk page from a quick Google. Noticed wrong citation formatting on article needs update. Web-hosting is not a very news-worthy topic in itself, compounded by the effect of NZ being a small country. Good luck finding an NZ webhost with with more news coverage than these guys. Anyone in the web or IT industry in NZ would know who umbrellar is. Also, Freeparking (a sub-brand) is notable in itself for being only one of two domain registrars that can register .iwi.nz domains for indiginous Maori tribe names. Note: Moved additional news citation suggestions to Talk page of article. Kieran21 (talk)

Comment Would you mind declaring any WP:Conflict of Interest you have for this article?

Comment Not directly listed there as a COI, but maybe a bias? Ex-employee of 2+ years. Kieran21 (talk)

Keep Notable company. Agree that some clean up is needed but that is not what AfD is for. Schwede 66 10:52, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Per reasons above. It has found some coverage. I even found some reliable sources about the company: [1], [2], [3] and [4]. Even with these, the article is good enough to pass WP:NCORP. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 07:03, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
