Not notable, and the nearest thing to independent coverage is the minor negative coverage. The Forbes article is by "a conributor"-- that means, in practice, a press agent. DGG ( talk ) 06:17, 10 March 2020 (UTC) DGG ( talk ) 06:17, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

- Draftify When I approved this out of AfC it hinged on the Forbes article which I didn't realize was an independent contributor not directly affiliated with Forbes, so its premature admission to mainspace is my fault and not the page creators. As such, I'm suggesting it be draftified as to not punish the original page creator. I think it has a chance of being notable, seems as if the blog is quoted quite a bit in many mainstream outlets which in and of itself does not denote notability, but certainly helps its cause and is enough to justify it being allowed to incubate.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Draftify I'll go along with the call to draftify for now but I have a lot of reservations on whether this topic will ever have sufficient references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. The test for references is not merely for "independent sources". The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content" is defined as content that includes original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Not a single reference meets the criteria so far. HighKing ++ 14:39, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- Draftify due to Sulfurboy's explanation. Cheers, 1292simon ( talk) 06:54, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
