  • Keep Every source has been checked out. Not one is a press release or self-published. All are independent reliable sources with named journalists (except the first) and nothing in the source to suggest it was self-published. Please list which sources are press releases or self-published, and provide evidence to support that opinion. -- Green C 05:15, 28 June 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Three sources that can be considered are
  1. [1] - an independent article on founders exiting because of investors.
  2. [2] This can be used but I am double minded on this. It has some independent comments but at the top it says Portfolio in place of journalist. When you click on portfolio, there seems to be a mix of stories that could be paid or not.
  3. [3] According to reference table this is Times of India. Looks good enough to me.

Some more here [4] & [5]. I must also say that all funding related references are not useful and should be removed as much as possible (unless citing some information). I can see why nominator felt like this should be deleted. But WP:BEFORE is giving good reasons to save it and improve it probably. Nomadicghumakkad ( talk) 15:55, 28 June 2021 (UTC) reply

  • medianama.com [6] is a signed business journalism article containing original reporting/opinions in the voice of the author ("What's interesting..").
  • techcircle [7] contains no evidence of a being press release, it is business journalism (signed author).
  • business-standard.com [8] by appearances is business journalism not a press release.

So... repeatedly calling it a press release does not make it so. Read WP:ORGIND which says the source needs to have some sort of vested interest with the company. Where is the evidence these sources have a vested interest? You are ignoring evidence that runs counter to intuitions ("looks like"), while providing no evidence in support. I've added wayback links to the dead links. -- Green C 04:54, 3 July 2021 (UTC) reply
