This article is a perfect example of unambiguous advertising or promotion. The page creator is a SPA. They only have 5 employees listed on their company Linkedin profile. Does not meet GNG. Sonstephen0 (talk) 16:52, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Although the article is written in a slightly promotional tone, this is something which could be easily edited out and the article is definitely not unambiguous advertising or promotion, as it is not unambiguous: Zingarese (who is not not the page creator) reverted your addition of the speedy deletion tag on the grounds that it was not unambiguous. They only have 5 employees listed on their company Linkedin profile. isn't a valid reason for deletion: First employees are not required to link themselves to a company via Linkedin and even then Wikipedia does not use Linkedin stats to determine notability. Just because an account is an SPA, does not mean that the article should be deleted. I think that this article does meet WP:GNG, as it has significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject from some of the sources above (some are not reliable) and those already on the article.

  • Comment Nope. Please read WP:ORGIND - "independent" specifically excludes articles which are PR (I mean, the Cambridge News article is even labelled as an "Advertisement Feature", the Chesterfirst article has no attributed journalist and is obviously another ad, etc). Can you point to any two references you believe meets the criteria for establishing notability? Thank you. HighKing⁺⁺ 16:48, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
