 * Speedy delete. Nothing here makes a case for minimal importance for this online recharge agency.  (This apparently means that they add more time to cash and phone cards and the like.)  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:08, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete under either A7 or G11 - I see no assertions of notability and it is written in a very promotional tone. ItsZippy (talk • contributions) 20:25, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete, A7 & G11. I also see some socking in the history. Hairhorn (talk) 01:41, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep The article now has enough external links to prove its notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.4.16.125 (talk) 09:56, 28 January 2012 (UTC) — 27.4.16.125 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Keep Pass WP:GNG and WP:N. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources --Dude7190 (talk) 11:47, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Notability requires sources, but sources are not sufficient for notability. Hairhorn (talk) 22:51, 28 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak keep There actually are references, though there were mistakenly put in the external links section. But I have not yet checked to see how substantial they are.  DGG ( talk ) 15:57, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * They don't appear to me to be sufficient. The Hindu and Financial Express articles both appear to be regurgitating the same press release. The others don't look like reliable sources.--Michig (talk) 16:06, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * And, generally speaking, announcements that a business has started up, opened a facility, or received financing do not count as significant coverage. Sources like this can establish that it isn't a hoax, but not much more.  If the business is in fact operating, all of this can be presumed.  Finding a subject notable means that it ought to be covered in an encyclopedia.  Notability is not temporary; therefore,  notable now means notable forever.  These stories do not turn this business into something that meets that standard. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 06:32, 29 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - sources have been added, but they do not show significant coverage, IMHO, just existence. MikeWazowski (talk) 18:39, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. We don't have significant, independent, multiple RS coverage. I also see from the above that two of the keep !votes are apparent SPAs, created immediately upon this AfD having  been started.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
