There was a deletion discussion that resulted in "no consensus" more than five years ago. It's time revisit the status of this article and my view it's time to delete the article. The reason for the deletion is this: This is a flashy term coined by a company which has occasionally been regurgitated by low-quality sources. The article was literally created by a COI account working for the company. There is no sustained significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The purpose of the encyclopedia is not to advertise slogans and labels that companies bandy about to advertise their services. The term overlaps with terms such as Emerging market, Newly industrialized country, developing country, Less developed country and half a dozen similar concepts. The existence of countless non-notable versions of the same concept leads to articles of worse quality and wastes the time of editors. Since the 2018 AfD discussion, no changes have been made to this article to make the article of any interest to readers or in compliance with content policies (the article is solely sourced to the company's own documents). If there is anything worth keeping in this article (there isn't), then the content should be merged with any of the aforementioned articles.
