Organization only has one mention in independent sources, and it's a passing mention. Lacks the coverage to demonstrate WP:NCORP. – Thjarkur (talk) 09:31, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Most of the other hackathon articles are badly referenced, as a whole. It is not the best of arguments certainly, but it is at least as notable as Campus Party, or Game jam and as an outgrowth of Hackathon community, growing across the world, from its roots.   scope_creep Talk  14:02, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't buy the argument that every hackathon is so notable that absence of secondary sourcing doesn't matter in deciding whether to keep them. MarylandGeoffrey (talk) 02:25, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete all of the sources are affiliated with the company, or merely name-drop the company in passing, or do not even mention the company at all. Nothing better found through WP:BEFORE. Spicy (talk) 23:50, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, references to date fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic therefore fails GNG/WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 13:59, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete- as per Spicy. 1292simon (talk) 23:28, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
