No sources cited on page constitute as RS - either routine or affiliated with the company. A BEFORE search did not satisfy enough significant, independent coverage needed.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 00:35, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Lulz, I'm not affiliated to Ko-fi, I've not even used it in any form but is one of the most popular donation site for independent illustrators after Patreon. Most of the info I got from web archives from Archive.org, if I missed some sourcing I'd love to add them ;) Neko Spectrus (talk) 05:28, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Added several sources after a quick WP:BEFORE. Seems to have enough reliable sources from newspapers/magazines.Gilded Snail (talk) 19:34, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Response Hi can you please post here any two links to articles that meet the criteria for establishing notability. "enough reliable sources" is not the full criteria - the sources must also provide in-depth coverage of the subject (WP:CORPDEPTH) and contain independent content (WP:ORGIND). I have examined the links added to the article and I do not see any that meet the criteria - perhaps I have missed something?  HighKing++ 16:59, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment: Maybe needs more sources, I don't see GNG being passed here. -- M h hossein   talk 13:43, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete I am unable to locate a single reference that meets the criteria for establishing notability. Of the non-Primary sources and the non-obvious business-as-usual sources, this Vice reference is a mention-in-passing and fails WP:CORPDEPTH, this Image reference does not cover the topic in any depth (fails WP:CORPDEPTH) and relies on information provided by the founder (fails WP:ORGIND), and finally this The Week reference is churnalism, relying almost entirely on information provided by the company, quotations from the founder, fails WP:ORGIND.

 * Delete - sketchy references such as Twitter (WP:TWITTER) and the company website - Ko-fi is not the subject of the articles in Verge, Vice Media and VentureBeat - does not meet WP:ORGCRIT - therefore, delete - Epinoia (talk) 19:10, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
