ClearTax

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Advert for a Non notable website. Rsrikanth05 (talk) 20:29, 13 March 2015 (UTC)


 * It is the first India-focused Y Combinator startup which is fairly significant. Notability is also clear with multiple instances of coverage in reliable sources like TechCrunch, NDTV, Times of India, The Economic Times, and similar. Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian has talked about ClearTax on CNBC India. (Trustandhonesty) — Preceding undated comment added 21:26, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Keep The page cites sources that are legit by wiki standards. As far as tech startups in India go, I think ClearTax is notable enough. Instamojo_Inc. has a page for example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.64.21.101 (talk) 09:49, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Please stop with the nonsensical 'my competition has an article, why can't I' excuse. Not a valid reason. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 18:48, 16 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Instamojo_Inc. is not a competitor, or a company in the same industry. It is an example of another Indian startup that has a wikipedia page that passes notability & neutrality guidelines. The page is written in a completely neutral way, there is absolutely nothing advertorial or superlative about the copy. There are multiple prominent news articles (Indian and International publications) covering ClearTax. So, according to Wikipedia's own guidelines, ClearTax is notable enough.

 * Delete. WP:ADMASQ. (Some of these egregious cases could go with speedy tags rather than AfDs.) Pax 21:33, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The article cites a full story by NDTV and a paragraph in the Times of India, among other sources. Granted, most or all of the coverage seems to be about their connection with YCombinator. Still, WP:CORP requires significant coverage from multiple independent reliable sources, and the case can be made that they meet that standard. --MelanieN (talk) 01:01, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
