While I (and others) have rejected multiple db attempts over the last few days, I think this company isn't notable, and the page should actually be deleted (just done right, instead of a speedy attempt). References are to a simple business index listing, the company website, something on PRNewswire that's pretty obviously based on a company press release, and an incorrect citation to Yahoo Finance that just goes to Yahoo's main page (and looks like it might have just been the same press release). I've done a WP:BEFORE search, and I didn't find anything better that would lead me to think this is notable and covered in multiple independent reliable sources, but that isn't really my strong suit so maybe others can find something? Right now, their only claim to fame is being one of the top 5000 fastest growing private companies in the US in 2014, 2015 (and 2016, though not stated in article); top 5000 of anything doesn't strike me a notable, much less with as restricted a scope as this list has. While it irks me that I was prompted to do this by an IP (possibly from the company itself) trying to get this deleted by not following our policies, I really do think this should be deleted.

 * Delete. Reads like a press release. Not seeing any national independent notability; Local and regional at best. Trivial and Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Kierzek (talk) 20:29, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Written by a single purpose editor (presumably from the company) it reads like an advertising brochure. Does not seem to meet WP:COMPANY as per nominator. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:25, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - I agree that it does not meet WP:COMPANY, in particular WP:ORGCRIT and WP:ORGIND. I did a (brief) search for secondary sources and didn't see anything indicating notability or straightforward hope of improvement. Shelbystripes (talk) 18:40, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
