BMI Gaming does not meet GNG. They are a very small company that sells arcade machines with only 21 employees listed on their Linkedin company page. They have no press coverage from reliable 3rd party sources. The only thing that comes up on Google are social media pages, directory listings for the company, a few reviews, and inclusion on a few ranking lists. If any of you worked in B2B marketing, you would know that inclusion on rankings lists is something you pay for. It generally costs around $3000 for inclusion on some magazine's "Top 100" list. Paid media is not credible for establishing notability. I don't see how a small company that sells arcade machines meets Wikipedia's notability standards. The Chinese carry out across the street from my apartment has more press coverage than BMI Gaming and they aren't on Wikipedia. Sonstephen0 (talk) 18:57, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As written, based primarily on press releases and such, this fails WP:NCORP by a long shot. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:31, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete promotional and at best borderline notable. The combination of these two reason means there is no justification for having the article. DGG ( talk ) 05:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Question to Sonstephen0: your statement about placement on top 100 lists and the like seems very reasonable, based on the apparent importance of the companies that usu this argument here, but do you have any source for it. If you do, it would greatly help dealing with similar article problems. DGG ( talk ) 05:03, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
