No coverage in reliable sources at all. All the coverage comes from either advertisements/paid advertisements, or press release. Lacks significant coverage; fails notability guidelines for organizations and companies, as well as general notability criteria.

All the sources provided within the article are clearly paid advertisements for the company's app. Three of which are identical to each-other upto every single word. The "Sarita Magazine" source has a different title, but again the content is identical to the rest of the three, making 4 identical articles. I couldnt read one source, as it was neither in English, nor in Hindi. The launchstory.in is different, but i am not sure about its reliability; looks highly doubtful. —usernamekiran(talk) 16:06, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Update: After nomination, the creator has removed the paid articles from sources. Here is the previous version. Also, one doesnt need to be familiar with hindi language, or Devanagari script; the titles of sources in reflist/references are exactly the same. —usernamekiran(talk) 10:56, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Insufficient coverage to prove notability. The COI hasnt been disclosed either and this appears to be an attempt at promoting the company. MT TrainTalk 08:57, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • All the media channels have covered advok8.in voluntarily till now, moreover that language was Kannada which is neither Hindi or English. As soon as we are covered by more media houses they will be cited in the article too. Authenticity is a very subjective matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Max shrey (talkcontribs)

    @Max shrey: Hi. I wonder if it was voluntary, then how they managed to copy each other to every single word. Anyways, the community will come up with decision through consensus whether to keep the article, or delete it based various wikipedia policies, and guideline.

  • Delete plain advert of non notable business. –Ammarpad (talk) 05:45, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete-Clearly advert stuff. Two press releases, citations from own website, and a mention at TOI are not enough — FR+ 10:25, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
