Notability not established, tech blogs and Forbes/Bloomberg cannot be used to show notability. The sources cited do not contain indipendent research per ORGIND/CORPDEPTH, they are equivalent to PR reprints. Ysangkok (talk) 21:18, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep The article cites numerous perennial, reliable sources per WP:RSP, such as Reuters, ZDNet, Bloomberg and Forbes. Sources such as these  are reliable sources that show particularly significant coverage. I think this clearly passes WP:GNG. Hocus00 (talk) 23:31, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * In the list of perennial sources, it is noted that "Forbes' contributors" are not Forbes staff, and cannot be trusted. Looking at the references of the article, they are all by contributors, not staff. see WP:FORBESCON. --Ysangkok (talk) 19:35, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * This is not true. All of the Forbes cites used in the article are written by Forbes Staff. See 123. Which Forbes cites do you believe are written by Contributors? Hocus00 (talk) 21:05, 1 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Has plenty of coverage from reliable sources. Honestly surprised to see this nominated as it’s exactly the kind of thing that belongs in an encyclopedia. Star7924 (talk) 14:54, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Why is it "exactly" the kind of thing? You're just making a statement with no explanation. Look at the referenced articles, and you'll see they contain no independent research, they are PR fluff pieces, they rely on Chainlink to provide correct information. --Ysangkok (talk) 19:35, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
