Non notable organization that fails to satisfy WP:NCORP as they lack in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them. A WP:BEFORE shows no hits in reliable sources, all I see are press releases and sponsored posts. There’s absolutely 0 WP:ORGDEPTH and their sole claim to notability is being on a “Top ten” list.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: Per nominator's reasoning. Jack Reynolds (talk to me &#124; email me) 17:46, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: I have just added several media sources, including Les Affaires, one of the largest business newspapers in Quebec, Canada, MobileSyrup, GetConnected, and iPhoneinCanada. These satisfy the cited notability principles in my opinion. Craftsman2116 (talk) 17:55, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per nominator's reasoning. Couldn't even find this company on Google Scholar. Regards. JayzBox (talk) 02:35, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: the sources added and cited by the author are secondary sources, independent (some are even highly critical of the company), and significant; as per WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.69.145.0 (talk) 13:15, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: being able to find something on Google Scholar isn’t the standard measurement of notability on Wikipedia. I can find plenty of articles where the subject matter covered yields no results at all on Google Scholar . Duplicate !vote by Craftsman2116. Hog Farm Talk 18:57, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Founded by Simon Tian, a notable Canadian businessman and also partnered with AT&T, a well-known company of course. Sources can be improved, but the company looks notable overall. Batmanthe8th (talk) 22:55, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Which sources make it look notable? Because notability has nothing to do with founders and partners.  Uncle G (talk) 19:49, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - Passes WP:GNG with several good Canadian and international sources. More paragraphs also could be easily forked from Simon Tian. Atlanticatticus (talk) 21:32, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I've looked at the sources presented and searched myself and the sources are the usual bag of company announcements, interviews/quotes and mentions in passing, none meet WP:NCORP requirements. Company is run-of-the-mill, no indications of notability.  HighKing++ 19:57, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment The appropriate SNG for corporations is WP:NCORP which places a higher standard of scrutiny on sources used to establish notability. Quoting the GNG, which has a less strict standard, does not mean the references meet the appropriate standard. The latest reference posted by Peter303x below is from a one-person website/blog which accepts commissions for "reviewing" products and services. Fails WP:RS. <b style="font-family: Courier; color: darkgreen;"> HighKing</b>++ 15:35, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: failing WP:NCORP lacking in-depth sigcov, no independent reliable sources CommanderWaterford (talk) 22:30, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep : Meets WP:GNG, plenty of coverage exists and in-depth as well such as this.Peter303x (talk) 21:26, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * That website fails as a reliable source, it is little more than a blog by a person who accepts commissions for reviewing products and services. <b style="font-family: Courier; color: darkgreen;"> HighKing</b>++ 15:35, 18 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete As per nom. Peter, that link is a hyperbolic "advertorial" which is hardly WP:RS. MrsSnoozyTurtle 09:32, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
