- Weak keep: The article may have been created for publicity purposes but that does not mean it has to remain that way (to some extent this seems like yet another example of a company that has gotten coverage in reliable sources, just not the kind PRs want to surface). The sources above aren't particularly great in terms of substantial details, but I added what I could. I had to go elsewhere for some of the more biographical points though.
