KitLocate

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Almost all the information on this firm is about its acquisition by another company. The exception is notices that it won a very minor award.  DGG ( talk ) 21:52, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I disagree. The company was acquired by Yandex - which is one of the biggest search engines today. I believe that this kind of acquisition is suit for wikipedia.Dastephi (talk) 09:36, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: has received some coverage by notable sources, but as DGG said, most of them were just covering its acquisition. Fails the spirit if not the letter of WP:CORP.  G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 15:18, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Has received coverage for 2012 award and 2014 acquisition. Seems like it barely passes WP:CORP. Piboy51 (talk) 18:53, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - There wouldn't be so much coverage of about the acquisition of the company unless the company itself is notable. Additionally, it was awarded Israel Advanced Technology Industries' IATI - Mastercard Technology Award.  This was a year before the acquisition. --Oakshade (talk) 00:45, 15 January 2015 (UTC) I wouldn't be opposed to a re-direct and merge with the content of the history of this company in the Yandex article. --Oakshade (talk) 02:20, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think a merge is necessary since the company was already notable prior to the acquisition by Yandex. There is plenty of material in Google News Archive (I have provided a sample below) to justify a separate article. Cunard (talk) 00:38, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The article notes: "KitLocate was founded in October 2011. It is managed by Omri Moran and employs four workers. The company's technology enables applications and other services to receive information about user's locations, so business owners in the vicinity can offer them relevant products and additional benefits."   The article notes: "KitLocate, founded in October 2011, develops technologies that enable other applications and services to receive information about the location of the end-user so that businesses can offer them relevant products and benefits. The company was founded by CEO Omri Moran, CTO Yoav Cafri, and VP Product Ron Miller. It says that its solution saves battery consumption and makes it possible to know the location all the time." There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow KitLocate to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep: Most of the sources currently in the article are good. The award they claim to have won has been covered by Times of Israel, Globes (which appears to be an Israeli business website), and various other sources. --Mr. Guye (talk) 22:50, 21 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep There are some reliable references from 2014 that have provided information about the updates of KitLocate. Delibzr (talk) 00:22, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
