How AfD works
You asked a question after an AfD had closed - "How does notability fail when citations are authentic?". Here's what I hope is a simple answer for you.
 * There are really not one, but two, types of references. The most common are references that you see within an article which supports facts or statistics. These references only really need to meet the requirements of WP:RS - or by "authentic" as you say.
 * The second type of reference is used to establish notability. They too must meet WP:RS but the references must also meet other, additional, criteria in order to count towards establishing notability. Different classifications of topics have different guidelines. The default guideline is WP:GNG but you can also see in the WP:SNG section that other topic areas may have their own guidelines. In the case of a company/organization/product, the appropriate guideline is WP:NCORP.
 * For example, lets say you are writing an article about a company and you see that a well-regarded publication contains a long interview over several pages including the centre pages with the CEO of the company which has been printed in a Question/Answer format. Within the article, you see that the CEO says that they have just signed a remarkable contract worth a spectacular amount of money. Here's the way Wikipedia looks at the reference.
 * ) Is the publication a reliable source? (WP:RS)
 * ) Is the reference significant (WP:SIGCOV)
 * ) Does the reference contain in-depth information on the company (WP:CORPDEPTH)
 * ) Does the reference contain "Independent Content" which is defined as original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject
 * In the AfD you commented on, the issue was not about whether the references were authentic. Lets assume they were. But they also have to meet NCORP which includes CORPDEPTH and ORGIND criteria. The references mainly failed WP:ORGIND as the information contained within the references was provided by the company or their execs. Others fails WP:CORPDEPTH as they only mentioned the company. Since we could not find references that met NCORP, the topic is deemed not to have met our notability criteria and was deleted.
 * Hope that helps!  HighKing++ 14:14, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
