The result was delete. I find HighKing's analysis of the sourcing sufficiently persuasive in what was a poorly-attended discussion. Daniel (talk) 12:11, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

QuestionPro Inc.

fails WP:NNCORP.The references are all either PR, such as the article in People, or notes entirely about funding or staffing. Ref 1, in the NY Times, is a mere mention in a general article--not even a compelte sentence  DGG ( talk ) 01:21, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Here all feature in-depth coverage. Also, more than one paragraph mentions: Also ranked #172 on the Inc. 5000 in 2008: https://www.inc.com/profile/survey-analytics SeaWhiteBird (talk) 17:40, 29 July 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. QuestionPro qualify for WP:GNG. There are already thousands of companies similar to QuestionPro In. on Wikipedia and i don't agree with deletion nomination.

 * Delete WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "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. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria. They are either standard business listings or short articles based on an "announcement" by the company - all of the articles I can find are within the company's echo chamber and the references posted above fail as follows:
 * Reuters reference is entirely based on a company announcement with no "Independent Content", fails ORGIND
 * New Statesman reference is also based entirely on a company announcement. For example here are some other articles covering the same announcment including the posting on the company website. Fails ORGIND
 * WSJ article follows a company announcement and an interview with the CEO, there is no "Independent Content", fails ORGIND
 * The three Geekwire references are each entirely based on company announcements with no "Independent Content", they all fail ORGIND.
 * Forbes "sites" reference is from the "paid program" and fails WP:RS. Not sure why its mentioned either since it doesn't even mention the topic company
 * NYT reference is a mere mention-in-passing along with another similar company, contains no information about the company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH
 * I have been unable to find any references that meet NCORP requirements. Topic fails WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 17:37, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
