Am I correct in assuming you want sources? What do you mean by "Only google hits are first-party" Please explain .. Hazgrid (talk) 07:09, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete No notability. Writer is from a SPA that's unfamiliar with Wikipedia guidelines. @Hazgrid, read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies). Hobohut is failing to meet the notability requirement to merit an encyclopedia entry. Come back in a few years after you've gotten some news coverage (on reliable and notable news outlets). -CerealKillerYum (talk) 08:29, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Whilst I agree with what you are saying, why would a reliable news outlet report on another outlet that reports on the same thing as they do? Hazgrid (talk) 09:48, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Why would a news outlet quote what another news outlet stated, saying that they both agree? Who knows, answer that yourself. We're not here to discuss journalism practices. That question has nothing to do with this AfD. @Other Reviewing Admin, its obvious Hazgrid doesn't understand Wikipedia's notability requirement. Take this into account when reviewing this case. -CerealKillerYum (talk) 10:02, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * haha @Hazgrid, you misinterpreted the quotation mark. To merit a wikipedia entry, a company will need coverage from news outlets that are reliable and notable. For it takes notability for an organization to merit a Wikipedia entry and for news outlets are organizations, we know that news outlets that have their own Wikipedia entry are reliable and notable. Therefore, get coverage on news outlets that have Wikipedia entries. If you get coverage from a news outlet that don't have its own Wikipedia entry, the outlet's notability would be up for dispute (unless you're a seasoned editor and know what you're doing, but you're not) and if its viewed that the coverage was on unreliable news outlets, the page can get deleted.

 * Next time, use Article for Creation instead of publishing straight from your sandbox. AfC was created to help new Wikipedians out.CerealKillerYum (talk) 10:15, 29 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete as searches obviously found no third-party sources. SwisterTwister   talk  23:17, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for failing WP:ORG. The article itself tells us it was founded in a backyard in 2013, uses only Facebook to promote itself, and has only 3 employees. While the founder can be congratulated for his efforts, until his project gets actual coverage in reliable sources, it is simply TOO SOON for an article on Wikipedia.
