 * Keep and tag: yes poorly written and reads like an advert, however it looks very well sourced from a range of different independent sources which suggests it is more than routine. Previous discussion was not much of a discussion at all as only 1 person commented. With some improvement tags may and a slight rewrite in tone it could be an ok article.

 * Additional comment: also a quick Google search reveals Forbes and CNBC wrote about them  so I don't think it is just a standard case of self-promotion, passes WP:GNG for me Abcmaxx (talk) 22:18, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The Forbes piece is an interview with the CEO, with regurgitated PR as lead-in. The CNBC piece is from a college student "contributor" and is built around PR text and images. That's not good enough to pass WP:NCORP, even if the WP:PROMO policy violation is ignored. Bakazaka (talk) 02:20, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * about CNBC authorship: it doesn't matter if the author is a college student; the piece has to pass CNBC editorial review. It's not a blog posting. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 15:57, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Recommend keep The deletion nomination is predicated on 'advertorial tone' and 'lack of reliable sources'. The first is an editing issue; the second is false.  There also seems to be a presumption that something deleted via AfD should stay deleted.  There are remedies for this: WP:SALT, Speedy deletion, blocking of authors ... though these are pretty heavy hammers and don't seem appropriate in this case. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 16:58, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Despite the blizzard of references, I don't see anything that makes this meet WP:NCORP.  WP:THREE applies.  If I had run across this on my own, I might have deleted it under WP:G11.  List of customers, lists of dubious awards, lists of things they've done to make an impact?  That's not an encyclopedia article, that's a PR piece.  -- RoySmith (talk) 16:13, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
