Delete A run-of-the-mill technology company with no indications of notability in their own right. This article is little more than a platform to promote their services, failing WP:SPIP. None of the references are intellectually independent and fail WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 14:51, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: does not meet WP:NCORP / WP:CORPDEPTH. Yet another private company that is using Wikipedia as an extension of a corporate website. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:20, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The coverage in the BBC, Telegraph, and FT is sufficient to meet WP:NCORP. I think the TechCrunch source meets WP:NCORP as well, as well as this article: [1]. -Mparrault (talk) 14:06, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Response Nope, none of those sources meets the criteria for establishing notability. WP:NCORP clearly sets out the criteria. The BBC podcast was an overview of the British computing industry and at about 21:00 interviews Chris Tanner the CEO at the time. This fails WP:ORGIND. The Telegraph article is an interview with a member of their board and CEO and therefore not intellectually independent and fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND, same as the FT article. The Techcrunch article is based on a company announcement, also fails WP:ORGIND. Your link to the Business Insider article similarly is based on a company announcement and fails WP:ORGIND.

Keep - Telegraph source is clear, and techcrunch is a marginal source. As I AGF that the sources I can't properly access (I could access the beeb - if someone can suggest a relevant time that would be helpful) are suitable, then these are some excellent sources. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:28, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Response I've suggested the time for the BBC podcast above but since it is an interview with the CEO (with no intellectually independent views/opinions/analysis) it fails WP:ORGIND. The Telegraph source is likewise devoid of intellectually independent content. The criteria for establishing notability for companies is documented at WP:NCORP and requires sources that do not rely on quotations/interviews such as these.

Delete. Interviews with company personnel are not sufficient to demonstrate notability. In the absence of any other reliable independent sources, this should not be retained. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:09, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete without prejudice. Only reason for suggestion is WP:TOOSOON. There are a couple of sources solidly supporting notability, i.e. FT and Telegraph, but not much more. Discarding the cruft we have little else. But a Keep decision in this case would not be outrageous. -The Gnome (talk) 18:04, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Not sure if you realise that articles that rely extensively on interviews/quotations from connected sources fail WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:05, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
