 * Delete. WP:CORPSPAM. Only serious coverage is in VentureBeat and I have doubts whether they are a RS. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:56, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Stubify: on the basis of multiple New York Times articles this may be notable IMO. But it needs to have the strong COI concerns addressed. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:10, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I think it was heavily used as a useful utility, but there is several other ones now on the go. Also, I think to Stubify it, as an 8k article would be difficult. You could take 3-4k which wouldn't leave much. As well as that, it also been subject to a request of G11 from another editor in good standing, which was the reason I nominated it. scope_creep Talk  09:26, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I have found a way to stubify it, if need be. I will do the work.  scope_creep Talk  14:05, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi ! College Abacus was indeed mentioned in a New York Times personal-finance column, on two separate weeks. But are you really sure that it therefore passes the WP:CORPDEPTH bar, and that there's enough WP:RS content out there to let us write a well-sourced article about the company? —Unforgettableid (talk) 12:27, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete this doesn't seem to pass WP:CORPDEPTH. There is the one New York Times mentions, but they only count as one source and it's not enough. Other then that, there doesn't seem to be anything to make it notable. --Adamant1 (talk) 02:07, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
