My extensive PROD removed with the sole basis of actually adding other sources but yet they are not only boldly tossed, no actual inline citations, but they are still trivial and unconvincing PR, since they speak of nothing else but what they would say themselves, including specific company activities and plans.

 * leaning delete I'm actually surprised not to find coverage of them not inspired by a PR outreach, but there you go - David Gerard (talk) 10:26, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep When investing.businessweek.com covers a topic, that is a big clue that the topic is Wikipedia notable.  The article has done a reasonable job by including 16 inline citations for a 3-paragraph article.  No editor has identified any problems with writing that fails WP:PROMO, which means writing that fails WP:NPOV.  I'm not seeing any such problems either.

 * Clarification -- the supposed Business Week coverage is actually a directory listing from S&P Global Market Intelligence, hosted on bloomberg.com: directory listing. These are not independently checked with material often provided by the companies themselves. This is not a suitable source for establishing notability.

 * And you know this how? And you have used what definition of "directory"?  And you are an impartial source?  Unscintillating (talk) 04:29, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

 * So the answer to my first question is that you've quoted yourself? And the answer to the second question is that you don't have a response?  And the answer to the third question is, well, "no", you are not an impartial source?  Unscintillating (talk) 04:49, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
