Does not meet notability guidelines(WP:ORG). All the sources offered are press releases, product announcements, or directory listings of this business; WP:ORGDEPTH specifically calls out these sort of sources as not acceptable for establishing notability. No sources with in depth coverage of this business are offered. My search could only find sources like the ones offered. 331dot (talk) 10:35, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I have tried and did my best to find a series of pretty independent and reliable resources mentioning Iqua in passing at least:

1.CNET put,"Though Iqua is quite an unknown brand in the U.S., it's popular in Europe and is known for making stylish, well-made Bluetooth products"[1].
2.Realdeals.eu.com put,"……Finland-based Iqua designs headsets and hands-free devices for the mobile communications market"[2] .And Iqua was introduced by this source deeply and minutely.
3.Iqua was deeply and minutely introduced by the Chinese channel of Deutsche Welle[3].And it is not press release.
4.Iqua was deeply and minutely introduced by the callcenterinfo.tmcnet.com [4].And it is not press release.
5.Korea JoongAng Daily put,"……Iqua, a Finland-based maker of headsets and hands-free devices……"[5].
6.Iqua does meet notability guidelines,because its product,Iqua SUN is World's First Solar-Powered Bluetooth Headset[6](Gizmodo)[7](The Register).And more importantly,TechCrunch'article introduced Iqua SUN to enter the US market especially[8].
7.Twice put,"……Iqua is perhaps best known for its solar-powered Bluetooth headset, the Iqua Sun"[9].

None of those sources are acceptable either. The first is a product review for one of this company's products and not about the company itself. Most of the rest are similar or are brief mentions of this company or reviews of its products(again, not the company itself). 331dot (talk) 18:19, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
