 * Keep I know a lot of people hate this sort of business-directory-style article, but The New York Observer, TechCrunch, VentureBeat, ZDNet, Mashable have all provided significant coverage: articles. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:13, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:NCORP- "A company is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources." The Next Web, Techcrunch, Gigaom, ReadWriteWeb A412  (Talk &bull; C) 23:58, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * That is not significant. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 03:30, 12 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:ORGIN: nothing suggests that the subject has "had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education." I would also note, that most sources above discuss the products of subject, while per WP:PRODUCT the companies don't inherit notability from their products. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 18:45, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup with abandon. The article more than passes general notability with the sources available. It's just a crappy article that needs de-spamification. Steven Walling &bull; talk   00:31, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, —Tom Morris (talk) 20:23, 10 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete The company is not notable it is a start up and the article does look like a business directory entry. Oxy20 (talk) 19:23, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
 * So what is stopping WP becoming a business directory and a free advertising service if we are going to keep all of these articles about small businesses? -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 06:25, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Because WP carries neutral articles not advertisements. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:53, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The neutrality and non-advertising nature of the article is a matter for cleanup, not deletion. The only question here is notability. AFD is not cleanup. A412  (Talk &bull; C) 00:37, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
