Indigo Agriculture

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Essentially a paid advertisement. The firm might be notable, but the article would need to be rewritten from scratch . DGG ( talk ) 19:16, 1 August 2018 (UTC)  DGG ( talk ) 19:16, 1 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - sources: CNBC interview with CEO, (local news?) Boston Herald article, local news (possible press release but I'm not sure), Boston Globe article, local radio article, Digital Trends article, Forbes 25 most innovative agtech startups, more local news, 2016 Forbes article. (Only 1 or 2 of the sources I've listed are used in the article). None of these were marked as press releases by Google news/don't seem to be from blog contributors, but it seems to pass WP:NCORP.   originalmess  how u doin that busta rhyme? 20:53, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * KEEP, BUT: Sources look legit, but needs a serious dose of editing to remove corporate puffery such as "a company dedicated to harnessing nature to help farmers sustainably feed the planet." PaulCHebert (talk) 00:20, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - I've slashed and burned the puffery that cropped up.  originalmess  how u doin that busta rhyme? 00:55, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep There are enough sources for GNG to be met. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 03:53, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NCORP / WP:PROMO; the article is too promotional to be worth keeping. Beyond that, has not achieved anything significant just yet. Sources are advertorial in nature, resulting in a promotional article. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:12, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - the company has a valuation of over $1B now, and is a "unicorn". I made some edits to improve the tone and flow, and added a Boston Globe article. The other sources identified above that aren't in the article, along with investor interest, suggests the company meets WP:GNG. I'd like to see some news about the purported higher crop yields, since the first coverage from 2016 suggests there should be some results by now, so I'll put this one on my watch list.

 * Keep - per the above and that it has been rewritten since this started. SmartSE (talk) 20:21, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
