AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The company does not meet Wikipedia notability standards. They are an obscure company within their field. The article serves as unambiguous advertising or promotion for the company. Additionally, the page is written by numerous dummy accounts from Wiki Professionals, a marketing agency that specializes in writing and managing Wikipedia pages for a fee. They also promote it on their portfolio: https://[wiki professionals company domain]/wiki-portfolio/ The URL for Wiki Professionals has been blacklisted from Wikipedia. This is a clear violation of Wikipedia rules. Sonstephen0 (talk) 17:35, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - So here's the thing: it looks a little notable, based on the sources. However, it is the product of undisclosed paid editing, and does not look to have more than minor changes by anyone else. Thus I would support deletion, without prejudice to an established editor recreating. It's striking how many of the keep !votes at the AfDs are very new, largely working on corporate profiles. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 14:38, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, hold on. I'm not actually seeing the concrete evidence this was created by a paid editor. I think I'm looking at the page you referenced, but don't see DataXu listed? Could you clarify? &mdash;  Rhododendrites  talk \\ 14:43, 13 April 2019 (UTC)


 * It looks like they updated their portfolio page and it isn't listed anymore. However, the talk page of the article mentions that it was created by numerous SPA's and the page creator isn't active on wikipedia anymore. Sonstephen0 (talk) 15:27, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
