 * – ( View AfD View log )

An earlier article on a firm named Prophet Exchange, which appears to have been competing with Betfair in the UK, was deleted in 2005. The present article appears to be about an unrelated firm which commenced in 2018. Regarding the article on the present company, it is describing the management recruitment, partnerships, the fundraising and the intended product proposition - announcement-based coverage which fall under trivial coverage at WP:CORPDEPTH. Searches also find this 2019 item, which is almost entirely a direct-quotation interview with the founder, but I am not seeing evidence that notability has been attained.

I cited, now, five articles on Prophet Exchange's page. In all five, Prophet Exchange is addressed directly and is the primary topic of the article. This is should be enough for significant coverage to be achieved. Each article is independent of one another and the publications are not subsidiaries of Prophet exchange or each other. Furthermore while maybe not the most famous publications, all five have strong reputations with no mentions of any improprieties in their reporting. None have been accused of publishing false information. Also, the authors have multiple published articles on a variety of topics besides Prophet Exchange.

 * businesswire.com is not an independent, reliable source Vexations (talk) 21:41, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
 * The article in the floridanewstimes is not original reporting, it cites as its source https://sbcamericas.com/2021/10/12/prophet-ready-to-exchange-the-love-as-prophetexchange-prepares-for-launch/ which starts with "Peer-to-peer US sports betting exchange Prophet has announced ..." that's a barely rewritten press release. Almost identical text appears in https://gamingamerica.com/news/2870/preregistration-begins-for-prophets-peertopeer-betting-exchange Vexations (talk) 22:10, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Prophet Exchange announced a partnership with Victor Cruz today. He is a former New York Giant with a large social media following. He tweeted about the company: https://twitter.com/TeamVic?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor. This should meet the WP:ORG requirement. Anickel25(talk) 8:49, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED and announcing a commercial deal, including sponsorship, falls under trivial coverage at WP:CORPDEPTH. AllyD (talk) 07:43, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:ORG Last press release makes six independent sources that have written about Prophet Exchange. This should satisfy the WP:SIGCOV requirement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.148.242.83 (talk) 16:37, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

 * I've opened up an SPI related to User:Anickel25 and User:104.148.242.83. I'm not sure there is smoking-gun proof, but I have concerns. Both users have been notified. See Sockpuppet investigations/Anickel25. -- rsjaffe 🗩 🖉 22:05, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * And now I've found off-wiki evidence that User:Anickel25 is a paid by Prophet Exchange to edit Wikipedia. Opening up a COI investigation -- <b style="color:white">rsjaffe</b> <b style="color:white">🗩</b> <b style="color:white">🖉</b> 22:43, 16 November 2021 (UTC)


 * No need. Those are both my accounts. I forgot to login on my work computer. This is my first time creating a page from scratch and it has been awhile since I've edited a page, so i'm not used to the syntax.Anickel25(talk) 17:50, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It's best to go to the Sockpuppet investigation page and explain yourself there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Anickel25 . Also, I believe you are paid by Prophet Exchange. If you are, you need to follow the Paid-contribution disclosure rules. <b style="color:white">rsjaffe</b> <b style="color:white">🗩</b> <b style="color:white">🖉</b> 22:58, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Read your user page. The sockpuppet investigation notice and paid editing notice there will provide useful information. <b style="color:white">rsjaffe</b> <b style="color:white">🗩</b> <b style="color:white">🖉</b> 23:02, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
