1st ref is an Alexa ranking— not a reliable measure of notability; 2nd ref mentions the name of the company in a list, where it scored 62nd out of 100 (WP:Trivial mention); 3rd ref is to a quote by the company's CEO, and contains nothing at all about the company; 4th ref looks to be something like a directory listing— contains no meaningful information about the company; 5th and 6th refs are not accessible to the public under any terms (not verifiable); 7th ref contains only a mention of the company being a sponsor for an event; 8th and 9th ref are like the 7th (more sponsorship mentions/ press releases). This looks to me like a marketing company using Wikipedia to market itself better; I suspect the author (an WP:SPA) has an undeclared WP:COI because I can see no other reason for creating this piece. A Google search produces Facebook, LinkedIn, a Crunchbase listing of company information that looks like it was written by the company, and long list of directory listings for the company. I could find no non-trivial discussion in reliable independent verifiable secondary sources. KDS4444 (talk) 16:04, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have already made changes in the content and tried to add some ref links. Alexa is also used by some of the other Wikipedia pages. There are only handful company who sponsor such events. Don't think it's marketing of company to list this information. If there is issue with certain links than those can be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henrysteven (talk • contribs) 04:37, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You modified one of the existing references here. That Alexa is used in other articles is not relevant to this article. And company press releases about company sponsorship of an event are quintessential examples of references that are completely lacking in independence. You can't make yourself notable by writing about yourself. Lastly, what is your relationship with this company? Are you an employee? Please explain. Thanks.

Delete Does not appear to meet WP:GNG. No references besides sponsorship of events which by itself does not qualify for notability. Arunram (talk) 14:38, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can remove the references of sponsorship of events if it does not qualify for notability. There are few other links in the article which can be fine for notability. I can make the changes so that the article no longer has the problems stated — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henrysteven (talk • contribs) 11:39, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

I'm waiting for the response. I'm ready to remove links or information which anyone think is not notable as per Wikipedia.Henrysteven (talk • contribs) —Preceding undated comment added 12:48, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
