The result was delete. Sources are deemed unreliable/promotional; that LinkedIn suggests something is OR and not an argument--and yes, promotional material can be removed, but without sourcing there is no topic, no GNG. Drmies (talk) 03:57, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Plenty of citations from major news business sources. Google and Google news shows quite a bit of search results. In addition, their LinkedIn profile says they are hiring so they are a growing company. They are expanding globally and hiring in several countries. Inc. Magazine says they are disrupting some markets.[1] Knox490 (talk) 01:58, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- promo material on an unremarkable business. Copy include such trivia as "After graduating from the Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator,[5] Machinio raised $1,000,000 in seed capital from Angel investors like Rony Kahan...." This content belongs on the company web site, not here. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:34, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- promotional content can be removed. Awsber (talk) 06:17, 15 April 2017 (UTC) — Awsber (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Comment -- I see that AfC draft has been declined, but moved into the main space anyway: User_talk:Awsber. This is quite possibly an undisclosed WP:COI situation. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:15, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
