The result was delete. Consensus fails to meet NCORP Nosebagbear (talk) 10:37, 16 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello!
 * My name is Fred Becker, and I hired on at EquityMultiple earlier this year. I was told we had a Wikipedia page, but when looking to make some updates last week I realized that our existing page was flagged for deletion (one example - our inclusion in the 2021 Inc. 5000 list). I'm not completely familiar with the processes following page deletion, but is there any method for remediation with this page given that's it was already deleted? If not, is it possible to create a new iteration? I'm not sure to what extent the page had been updated, but based on the deletion feedback I see, I think many of my planned updates (lots of new sources) should directly address the notability concerns that were outlined--and if this is the right forum, I'm happy to provide a list of those sources here.
 * I completely understand the need to uphold notability standards for wiki articles, but I'm sure you can understand it's disheartening to have our page deleted. Just doing a quick search I see many of our direct competitors have their wiki pages live, and after reviewing their pages, I really feel we have a defensible claim to equivalent notability (based on a comparable range of reputable sources). Hopefully our deleted article simply failed to incorporate enough of these sources, and we at least have some shot at recovering it.
 * Apologies for sending this email over the weekend, but I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration on this.
 * Cheers,

EquityMultiple

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable private startup. I haven't evaluated The Real Deal, which is paywalled, but none of the other sources help demonstrate notability, and a single source is not enough. PR Newswire is a press release, and the two Crowdfund Insider pieces by JD Alois ("the pen name of a frequent contributor") also read like press releases. The entrepreneur.com article is written by the CEO of EquityMultiple. National Real Estate Investor, a trade journal, is a primary source interview with the founders of EquityMultiple, with no independent analysis. Searches of the usual Google types, EBSCO, Gale, JSTOR, and ProQuest found nothing better: press releases, trade journals, dodgy-looking and self-published sources of dubious reliability, and no more than passing mentions in the legitimate financial press. Does not meet WP:CORP. Worldbruce (talk) 05:14, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Looks as though it clearly fails NCORP, lack of significant coverage. --Bejnar (talk) 00:09, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
