• Keep when I accepted this article at AFC I thought the sourcing was a bit weak but seeing the size of the company and its history I was sure there were sources out there and it would survive an AFD. I had a quick look and found these [1], [2] where it is mentioned as being in the same league as Kickstart, GoFundMe and Indiegogo. There are other sources out there such as [3].

• Delete sorry, all the sourcing here doesn't pass the guidelines of
  WP:SPIP. Domdeparis was fine to accept this from AfC, the standard there is a 50% chance of survival at AfD, but unfortunately I think we have to go with delete here. The sourcing he showed above doesn't meet our standards: source 1 is a part of a list, which we consider routine coverage in corporate/company AfDs. Source 2 from Crux is sponsored content (i.e. an actual advertisement and not just a recycled press release). Source three is also a list, but on top of that it is from Mashable, which we don't consider a reliable source for the purposes of establishing notability. Nothing in the article is independent and non-PR sourcing. Unfortunately, this company is not a notable subject. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:11, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply

@Piotrus: Thanks for the advice Piotr but as Tony said there are a certain amount of articles that we accept that will not survive a deletion discussion. And just to put this into perspective my AFD stats stand at a success rate of 80.6% for 390 discussions and if you ignore the no consensus I am at 85.7%. Of those 390 I nominated 276 pages with a 78% deletion rate and ignoring the no consensus this goes up to 83.5% success rate, so I think I will continue to trust my own judgement.

• Delete bunch of primary sources and some unreliable websites. No sufficient independent coverage to meet
