Fails WP:CORP, borderline speedy delete. The only source close to a secondary reference in a reliable source I could find in a WP:BEFORE search was this passing mention on MarketWatch. The rest is press releases and company listings. Wikishovel (talk) 02:49, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This was created by a user with a few thousand edits, so I don't want to assume the worst of them and say this was paid, but it's really bad, and all of the sources are slop -- of eighteen, all except three are the company's own websites! The other three are to a paid newswire service, a passing mention on a AWS site, and whatever this is. If there's any non-slop found, ping me. jp×g 🗯️ 06:42, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This Wikipedia article is about a telecommunications company that started 24 years ago, now has more than 500 employees, and its offices are located in 12 cities spread over 8 countries. This international organization is notable enough to have its own Wikipedia article. Multiple secondary sources are listed as references to support the information in the article. The article quality will improve over time; please have patience and give this article a chance. This article should not be deleted. Any issues can be discussed in the article's talk page.

Delete: It's disappointing that most of the citations are covered by this company and few vlogs which is not counted and fails WP:NCORP. CSMention269 (talk) 07:22, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Okoslavia (talk) 04:06, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per previous comments – sources are all WP:SELFPUB. 100% promotionally worded. Speedy deletion would make sense here, honestly.
