Doesn't meet WP:CORPDEPTH; article is promotional in nature. Power~enwiki (talk) 06:16, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - WP:CORPDEPTH states "Deep coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond routine announcements and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about an organization." A majority of of the sources provide a level of attention that extends well beyond a routine announcement. The Huffington Post piece is a full profile. Forrester Research is a giant in their field. App Developer Magazine is a profile as well. Add to all the above a piece from Tech News World that isn't cited in the article, and I think clearly Pneuron meets WP:CORPDEPTH. If the piece feels promotional in nature, that's easily fixed with an edit, as there is obviously enough useful information about the company to merit inclusion and not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

 * Delete No indications of notability for this company that announced at the end of August that it was ceasing operations. Article is entirely promotional and fails WP:SPIP. The Huff Post article appears to be the source of some of the text here and as such, this article is a copy violation. Not only that but much of that article, in turn, appears to use quotes from the website (available on the wayback machine) as inspiration. There is no independent opinion or analysis provided by the journalist on the company, just a summary of the marketing information already available on the website. It therefore also fails WP:ORGIND. The forrester.com report is not freely accessible and therefore I cannot comment on that. But typically, I would be inclined to allow analyst reports as meeting the criteria for establishing notability although I'm aware other editors are not so inclined. appdevelopermagazine.com article is typical churnalism and relies exclusively on information provided by the company complete with a photo of the CEO and a list of "Key Features". If fails as a reference for establishing notability since it is not "intellectually independent" and provides no independent opinion or analysis. Finally, your technewsworld.com article also fails WP:CORPDEPTH since it is more a mention-in-passing with no details on the company. The article itself even states "This is less about Pneuron than about the need to step back from time to time and check whether we are full of crap" since the article is really discussing "Big Data" problems in general.  -- HighKing ++ 14:21, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don'tthink it's notable, but this must be removed in any case. It's a pure advertisement for the company. That it happens to be for a  company that is going out of business doesn't make it less of an advertisement.  DGG ( talk ) 22:18, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
