This doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. The refs are all sponsored or contributor articles, and I couldn't find better sources on a WP:BEFORE. BuySomeApples ( talk) 03:20, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply

• Delete: Not enough coverage that's independent of the subject. Mentioned here [1], doesn't appear to be a Forbes Contributor piece, but it's barely a few paragraphs. Oaktree b ( talk) 15:11, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply

That is indeed a Forbes contributor blog post; click on the author or the little icon next to her name. Sam Kuru (talk) 19:42, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply

• Delete. None of the existing sources are useful, as per Mr. Apples; it's all PR, advertorials, self-created directory listings. Searching for others leads to an amazing amount of PR and puff interviews, including many blackhat SEO blogs that are a pretty solid canary-in-the-coalmine for a manufactured presence.
