• Doesn't pass
  WP:WEB. Google News search shows only press-releases which don't establish notability. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:37, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply

• Delete per nom. --Wow (talk) 07:54, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep they appear to publishing more than press releases so I am not sure it qualifies. Lets try to get some more sources onto this article. Starspotter (talk) 15:44, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete We need more sources on this page and it is not really notable enough. Ivor Browning (talk) 06:15, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep I would prefer to keep the article, I read news on the website every so often, it's pretty well known in the industry. I am surprised this article isn't better than this, but at the moment GNG is really weak. Govvy (talk) 19:42, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete "Lets try to get some more sources onto this article" is not a valid rationale or grounded in policy or guidelines on Wikipedia. Like Govvy has said (and is pretty much a Delete argument, rather than a Keep one), the subject fails

The original statement was "Google News search shows only press-releases", which was I think not the case. There does seem to be some secondary sources, which I added in a brief search. It might better to merge or move this Valnet, Inc. or something similar, as they have some other properties that are Wikipedia. Edit, there was also a yahoo reference but maybe merge is better, I agree this is not a well known site. Starspotter (talk) 15:23, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Does not appear to meet the requirements for notability, I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails GNG and

• Delete simple case of failing the
  WP:GNG. This debate is probably only still active because of low participation, as neither Keep !vote are anywhere near a valid rationale. Sergecross73 msg me 12:51, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply

• Delete since subject fails
  "I rather like it" is not an argument. -The Gnome (talk) 06:34, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply
