EverCharge

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NCORP. No significant coverage in reliable sources. Beyond the sources in the article, some blogs have rewritten press releases (Churnalism) or brief mentions of pay-to-play trade show awards. — BillHPike (talk, contribs) 01:55, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete This article is basically just an advertisement. I looked for sources on EverCharge, trying to find one that would justify keeping this article. On the Huffington Post I found this: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/how-we-power-450000-tesla-model-3s_us_59d288c0e4b092b22a8e38a1 which is written by Joseph Nagle who turns out to be Head of Corporate Strategy at EverCharge, Inc. Highly suspicious. Then I find out there are EverCharge branded vacuum cleaners: https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/g22626053/best-cordless-stick-vacuums/ Even more suspicious since they are supposed to charge batteries for CARS, not VACUUM CLEANERS. Along with the way this article is written like an ad, and the way all the articles I find about EverCharge seem like EverCharge paid them to write them or it is just people posting whatever info they get from EverCharge, well, I have not found any good sources to establish notability. I found plenty of bad sources, though. OK I did find a few reliable independent sources like Fortune magazine with http://fortune.com/2016/11/11/automobility-la-best-auto-startups/ but all it gets is one measly paragraph, that is not significant coverage. That fails to meet notability. I do find a TON of stories from the news site CleanTechnica but that site is pretty suspect, I don't find it reliable or independent. Sorry, I don't see any decent sources that would make this notable. Yetisyny (talk) 17:15, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Im the OP. Trying to stay up on this because the vacuum cleaner has nothing to do with this product nor is it mentioned anywhere in the article confused as to why it is being mentioned by Yetisyny. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nagleess (talk • contribs)
 * Keep EverCharge has quite a lot of earned media its mentioned here but quick list for you. Fortune http://fortune.com/2016/09/22/top-10-automotive-startups/, TechCrunch https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/22/automobility-la-announces-its-top-10-startups/, Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hy-live-updates-2016-la-auto-show-compete-for-an-ev-charging-station-no-1479325686-htmlstory.html, Autoblog https://www.autoblog.com/2016/07/14/carve-a-wooden-bike-infineon-gets-into-evs/, MIT technology Review https://www.technologyreview.com/s/601489/why-tech-companies-should-work-with-government-rather-than-against-it/, National Multifmaily Housing Council https://www.nmhc.org/news/articles/meet-the-ten-launch-pad-semifinalists/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nagleess (talk • contribs) Ambox warning pn.svg — Duplicate vote: Nagleess (talk • contribs) has already cast a vote above.
 * Keep As far as pay-to-play awards as mentioned by BillHPike this is not true in any way shape or form. AutomobilityLA is the kick off event at the LA Auto Show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LA_Auto_Show#cite_note-1 and participants are vetted and selected through a vigorous committee selection process. The Innovation World Cup again is an industry award competition that is not paid for by the contestants and are selected through a panel, in fact finalist are given awards upwards of $500,000. NMHC again is an independent organization that does not force entrants to pay and winners are selected through a committee process. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nagleess (talk • contribs) Ambox warning pn.svg — Duplicate vote: Nagleess (talk • contribs) has already cast a vote above.
 * Keep BillHPike has failed to do sufficient research nor has the user provided any such proof of the claims. Especially this "No significant coverage in reliable sources. Beyond the sources in the article, some blogs have rewritten press releases (Churnalism) or brief mentions of pay-to-play trade show awards." There is no information from the user to back up this claim merely the users own opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nagleess (talk • contribs) Ambox warning pn.svg — Duplicate vote: Nagleess (talk • contribs) has already cast a vote above.
 * Keep Yetisyny mentions no legitimate articles I feel I have cleared this point above but want to point out one claim in particular that is again not supported by fact. Cleantechnica not being a reliable source. Cleantechnica is a cleantech blog with over 58k twitter followers and averages over 1M site views a month. Its by no means a media giant but should be sufficient in establishing itself as a reliable media source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nagleess (talk • contribs) Ambox warning pn.svg — Duplicate vote: Nagleess (talk • contribs)  has already cast a vote above.
 * Keep If Yetisyny and BillHPike have issue with the page as written they should point out where and how it should be re-written in order to satisfy their expectations. Neither has offered any legitimate feedback on what needs to be changed, they have both offered only opinions, provided no facts nor helpful feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nagleess (talk • contribs) Ambox warning pn.svg — Duplicate vote: Nagleess (talk • contribs) has already cast a vote above.
