 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not an award winning product, fails WP:NPRODUCT.

Reviewed by tech magazines which is their job afterall, not enough to pass WP:NCORP. Owned by Pakistani company which is using it for promotion on WP. Also to add, there was a tilt in previous discussion toward deletion too. Störm  (talk)  04:11, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The article contains a list of criticisms about PureVPN in sections titled "Waiting for a connection", "Not so fast", "Netflix works (sort of)", and "privacy concerns".  This article contains commentary about whether PureVPN crossed the line when it gave user data to the FBI. Notability (organizations and companies) notes that "deep coverage" provides "commentary" of the company.  The article contains a negative review of PureVPN, noting: "Of the VPN services we've reviewed, PureVPN has the largest choice of connection locations, but it doesn't always deliver the data. Despite having widely distributed servers and excellent software, PureVPN delivered far from top-rank performance, and a recently disclosed criminal case makes us wonder how willing PureVPN is to protect customer privacy. Overall, we prefer Private Internet Access."  </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow PureVPN to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep: ... the Owned by Pakistani company as part of the nom. reason means I will not be supporting it. Article was substantially improved in the previous during the previous recent AfD and passes and difficult to see how that is being used for promotion given its current content.Djm-leighpark (talk) 06:22, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - while the article has issues (like at times being unclear if it is about the service or the company), AfD is not cleanup. Sources like this fleshed-out article in PC Magazine are clear indications the topic meets WP:GNG and WP:NSOFTWARE.--SamHolt6 (talk) 22:39, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep "Reviewed by tech magazines which is their job afterall" is a very WP:POINT claim here. The fact the product was covered in such means it was notable enough to be noticed by those. Such as TechRadar, PC World , Business.com , Tom's Guide , IGN , PCMag , Mashable (almost all of these bring cited in the article), and others I could possibly find if I looked more indepth. There is also coverage of it doing something for someone like on Forbes  and International Business Times . Passes WP:GNG clearly. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 14:26, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep- Satisfied by Jovanmilic97 (talk) facts. - MA Javadi (talk) 19:07, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Since the previous AfD, the article was rewritten to remove the promotional material and to add critical coverage. Cunard (talk) 05:58, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
