Nominating on behalf of an IP who wrote the following rationale at WT:AFD:

I think there are 2 issues with this article, but I'm not sure of the procedure to follow so I prefer to post there : {1} It's a new compagny with no effective product or service: testing is expected to begin in 2026, before commercial service in 2028. The use of nearly only the futur tense or verbs with conditionnal or future meaning as ("would", "planned", "is expected"...) shows that. {2} It seems that the subject has no significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent secondary sources. International Railway Journal is a media of limited interest (trade magazine for railway industry) and the content seems more promotional than informative. Quechoisir is a French media with a national audience but the mention is anecdotical. La Tribune is a French economic media but the coverage is not significant.

Delete: These are press releases about funding, likely TOOSOON. The project could end up not getting off the ground or going bust before trains start rolling. Oaktree b (talk) 02:54, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Haven't gone through a full review of the available sourcing yet, but redirection to Open-access operator#France might be a suitable ATD in the event no suitable sources exist. Alpha3031 (t • c) 04:28, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've added multiple reliable, independent secondary sources, to address {2}. Slasher-fun (talk) 20:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This sounds like a promising enterprise. even if it would not gett off the ground, it would be an example of efforts.Keep and reinforce the ontitionnal if you like. Meerwind7 (talk) 18:01, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. I think there could be potential for a prose section at Open-access operator§France (Or split out into X in France) with a few lines about this particular company, but I don't see enough sourcing for a standalone article. Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:58, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting but I'm leaning to a Redirect. Not sure what "ontitionnal" means though.

Redirect to Open-access operator#France; there is coverage [1] [2], but i'm not sure if GNG or NCORP is passed. Nyamo Kurosawa (talk) 20:46, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
