Reads like blatant advertising. Of its 3 sources, 2 are not independent reliable sources (ascap.com and prnewswire.com) and 1 is a book which I do not have access to. Contains inline external links to sources that do not satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH: a general listings page (alexa.com), an interview on Facebook, a patent, and to the subject itself. Searching the web, I cannot find independent reliable sources; I can find perfunctory business bios / listings and regular business announcements (they do not satisfy WP:NCORP either).

Created in 2009 by a user whose name is the same as that of the founder of the subject of the article, and whose only contributions to Wikipedia were to write this article, add very promotional content to another article in support of this article, and to add wikilinks to a third article for an identical name to that of the user in question.

 * Comment. Sometimes better references can be found for an article with weak references. This one might help:  I added that one and a few others. As well, press releases (including those distributed by PR Newswire) aren't reliable sources themselves, but they can sometimes add useful context. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:09, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

 * An interview in a local paper is just another weak reference that does not satisfy WP:NCORP. As for press releases adding context, this AfD is about notability and press releases do not contribute toward that. -Lopifalko (talk) 11:56, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete Fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG due to a lack of sustained WP:SIGCOV. The article was also created by a WP:SPA with an obvious financial interest in this page, so this article should be swiftly uprooted to remove such corruption from Wikipedia. Newshunter12 (talk) 05:40, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
