  • Delete sources don't show how this site is particularly notable. Balle010 (talk) 15:55, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Non notable site. --Kbabej (talk) 19:33, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as the (admittedly biased) page creator. The involvement of Jerry Yang, Vincent Wu, and Harry Shum, is what caught my interest. OTOH if it's deleted, which is understandable, at least I can refund myself if it ever becomes more notable, so I completely understand. tedder (talk) 01:51, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This doesn't explain or refute why or how it is notable. What sources exist that discuss News Break itself in depth? Being affiliated or the project of notable people, does not make a subject notable. Praxidicae (talk) 18:14, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Tedder, since you're the creator of the page and you vote to keep it, then show us some reliable articles which have in-depth discussion about the news portal. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 03:15, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Which sources would those be? A single tech crunch article isn't exactly a beacon of notability. Praxidicae (talk) 18:14, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
*Treker, the link I indicated isn't close to satisfying WP:3REFS, hence not good enough for the article to pass WP:GNG. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 03:15, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment & Question Firstly, allow me to apologize in advance for potentially speaking out of turn. But given the topic, I felt it was important I quickly speak up. I run marketing for News Break, which is a new function at the company, hence the reason you don't see a lot of news about us. That said, if you take a look at our public rankings, we are currently the #1 ranked News app on Google Play and the #3 ranked News app on App Store, just behind Reddit and Twitter - positions we've held (give or take a position or two) for months. This is part of the reason why Harry Shum joined our company as Chairman of the Board: https://medium.com/syncedreview/former-microsoft-ai-head-harry-shum-joins-intelligent-local-news-startup-news-break-as-chairman-32076d35c1f9. Does this added information make us notable enough to retain our page? If not, is there other information I can help provide? Thanks! TheVede (talk) 02:18, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect the subject fails to qualify general notability guideline, as this post purposely discuss Jerry Yang. The TechCrunch article is not enough to determine notability per WP:NSOFT. Since the sources significantly discuss its founder, therefore, it be redirected to Jerry Yang. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 03:57, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
