Iqua

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet notability guidelines(WP:ORG). All the sources offered are press releases, product announcements, or directory listings of this business; WP:ORGDEPTH specifically calls out these sort of sources as not acceptable for establishing notability. No sources with in depth coverage of this business are offered. My search could only find sources like the ones offered. 331dot (talk) 10:35, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and WP:ORGDEPTH. Manelolo (talk) 08:46, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I have tried and did my best to find a series of pretty independent and reliable resources mentioning Iqua in passing at least:
 * None of those sources are acceptable either. The first is a product review for one of this company's products and not about the company itself.  Most of the rest are similar or are brief mentions of this company or reviews of its products(again, not the company itself). 331dot (talk) 18:19, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: does not meet WP:NCORP / WP:CORPDEPTH. Sources offered above are passing mentions and / or WP:SPIP. There's nothing in the article that's not promotional, so WP:NOTSPAM applies as well. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:48, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete References all fail WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 14:50, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
