 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Here is a good post from tech journalist Chris Mellor that is unpaid and noteworthy. https://blocksandfiles.com/2022/07/01/ocient-hyperscale-data-analysis/ 73.211.222.32 (talk) 20:44, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Analysis of the source posted above:
 * Venturebeat article relies entirely on announcements from the company and interviews/quotes from their execs with no "Independent Content" as per ORGIND.
 * DataAMI article suffers the same flaws. Fails ORGIND.
 * Google is a partner company, not independent, fails ORGIND.
 * Chicago Tribune relies entirely on an interview with the founder, fails ORGIND
 * The New Stack article relies entirely on info provided by the company and their execs and has no "Independent Content", fails ORGIND.
 * Blocks and Files article suffers the same way. Fails ORGIND.
 * The IIT listing is a short company profile, no in-depth information and relies entirely on information provided by the company, fails ORGIND.
 * I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability.  HighKing++ 21:26, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your time and review. Because you're looking for more "independent" content, how about being included in this tech analysis: https://mattturck.com/mad2023/ or this independent write through: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/thanks-trillion-hyperscale-data-warehousing-takes-flight-kavanagh-pewie/ 73.211.222.32 (talk) 21:37, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * "Independent Content" is not simply content that is published by somebody independent of the topic company, but content which contains "original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation" which is also in-depth. I'm unable to find any mention of the topic company in your first reference, but as a blog post (self publishing), it is not considered a "reliable source" anyway and would not meet our criteria for establishing notability. Similarly, LinkedIn is self-publishing and is not considered a reliable source. Even leaving that aside, the LinkedIn article relies entirely on information from the founder/company and has no "Independent Content" as per the definition at WP:NCORP.
