DataPop, Inc.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable and promotional. The references are either incidental mentions or public relations.

(Yet another promotional article accepted from AfC. Going through them chronologically up to the present, the proportion of bad articles accepted to good articles rejected is increasing. It's now about 2:1. We could do better by doing it at random. )  DGG ( talk ) 23:56, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Promotional article written by the corporation itself. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:38, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - topic not notable. There are plenty of company profile sites out on the web, no need to duplicate that on Wikipedia. WP:COMPANY is pretty close to WP:GNG in saying that several independent reliable sources need to be talking about the topic at length for it to be considered notable enough for inclusion. I could not find any evidence of such notability. This article appears to be mostly advertising for the company. Such content is not appropriate for WP. besides independent coverage the article needs to make some claim that establishes that the topic matters. This is just another ad company, nothing special. - Metal lunchbox (talk) 10:55, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yes, DataPop exists. No, they aren't any more notable than any other company. The history could read like any other Silicon Valley startup. Gm545 (talk) 13:24, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
