Fails GNG and NCORP. Sources consist of passing mentions, a CEO biography, routine announcements pertaining to new employees, and a Bloomberg chart. No significant independent coverage in reliable sources. The introduction indicates this is an advertisement Steve Quinn ( talk) 00:30, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
- Keep: Featured in articles in The New York Times, New York Post, and coverage in many other sources for mergers, business dev. There is independent, reliable coverage and intro changed to take out advert language. Daniel Reid ( talk) 07:44, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

- Comment coverage of mergers, business dev. and so on is routine information promogulated by the company and its designated employees - this is not independently sourced coverage. It is the company tooting its own horn - fails corpdepth. Also, the coverage in the New York Times and the New York Post are not featured articles but more business announcements generated by the company (a partnership between this company and some other company).
- In the New York Times, coverage is in the Deal Book section (and not the news section) which is designed to disseminate company information. None of this is independent coverage as required by GNG, NCORP, and CORPDEPTH. According to policy, Wikipedia is not a platform for advertising or promotion, and is not a directory for businesses. --- Steve Quinn ( talk) 04:34, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
- Delete The most significant coverage I could find (in the NYT and NY Post) focus on the founder, and per WP:INHERITORG, the "corporation itself must have been discussed in reliable independent sources for it to be considered notable." Fails to meet WP:NCORP. Pegnawl ( talk) 15:23, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Agree with nom and other comments above. I am unable to locate a source that meets the criteria for establishing notability. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing ++ 17:14, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
- Delete sources available in a search are glancing or routine mentions. ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 19:39, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
