Non-notable e-sports platform, references do not indicate a pass of WP:GNG. No WP:SIGCOV, simply trivial funding mentions based on company PR. nearlyevil 665  05:37, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Keep - I have been improving this article by removing non-encyclopedic content and correcting tone. There were also multiple non-credible citations which I have removed.

I would further state that MPL is a large E-sports platform, popular in India and South East Asia. It has a userbase of over 60 million and is close to being a unicorn startup. Based on the nature of the business it is pivotal that people have access to credible neutral information about the platform and Wikipedia is the right place for this. To address your concerns on WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV below are 3 additional articles that establish the notability of the company, these are currently not included in the article references.

 * Delete per nom. The few sources that exist for this topic are either routine coverage (WP:RUNOFTHEMILL) or passing mentions (WP:PASSING), neither of which makes the article notable. The closest to in-depth coverage is the Forbes article cited above, but that one is written by a contributor. Per WP:FORBES: "Most content on Forbes.com is written by contributors with minimal editorial oversight, and is generally unreliable." IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 12:54, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
