Not enough significant coverage to pass WP:CORP. One of the refs here is a company press release to investors and others are just passing mentions and routine business coverage. Uhooep (talk) 21:57, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete: The first source does not cover the subject in-depth, the second is Guitar-Muse, which is not a reliable source, and the third is a press release, thus none of the sources cited demonstrate why it should be of inclusion. Multi7001 (talk) 03:04, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep There's a lot of routine business coverage and stock market movement articles to wade through, but I've found a few articles with proper coverage of the company.
 * Inside The Two Biotech Companies Working Together On A Covid-19 Vaccine For Cats by a Forbes staff member
 * The Scramble Is on to Prove Raw Material Provenance by Sourcing Journal, an industry news site
 * Stony Brook-based Applied DNA Sciences Has Covid-19 Vaccines in Trial by Long Island Press
 * There are also some Newsday articles about this company covering its COVID-19 research in more detail, but I can't access them due to GDPR - would appreciate if another editor outside Europe could have a look at them for me to see if they count. pinktoebeans  (talk) 12:08, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Since this is a company, the appropriate guideline is WP:NCORP which requires a reference to contain in-depth information on the company and "original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject". The references in the article fails NCORP as pointed out by Multi7001 above. The references posted by also don't meet NCORP as follows:
 * Forbes staff member] reference describes how two companies (one of which is the topic company) are in partnership to develop a Covid-19 vaccine for cats. While there is a lot of info about the vaccine and its development and potential trials, there is no in-depth information on the company and fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
 * The reference in Sourcing Journal relies entirely on information provided during "a recent fireside chat" with a company executive. The article adds no "Independent Content" - all of the info/opinion/etc comes from the company executive - and fails WP:ORGIND.
 * The Long Island Press reference discusses the company in the context of various Covid-19 efforts the information is provided entirely by the company CEO or other information provided by the involved companies. As above, there is no "Independent Content" and this also fails WP:ORGIND.
 * I am unable to locate and references that meet NCORP criteria for establishing notability, topic fails WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 21:20, 21 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete: none of these sources meet RS standard, or cover the article as a feature, Fails WP:NCORP - needs way more RS to establish notability, which clearly doesn't exist. Deathlibrarian (talk) 09:13, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
