Redkey USB

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The user who created this article was connected with this company. Lacks notability/independent coverage (cited with a lot of seo guest posts).

 * Weak delete. While a brief search suggests it's feasible we could have an article on this (eg. Italian language Wired, Web User, ), the UPE issue along with the lack of any real suggestion of notability in the article (aside from a claimed viral video) mean there's not much worth holding on to. This is basically an entry in a computer catalog. &mdash;siro&chi;o 07:18, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. There are several arguments why the article should remain as a Wikipedia page. These are the arguments: 1. No evidence of connection: There is no concrete evidence to suggest a connection between the creator of the article and the company in question. Such an accusation is unfounded and should therefore be dismissed. 2. Recent edits and references: Several modifications have been made to the text of the article, which have significantly improved the article's references, added a new section and several noteworthy links, including distinctions obtained by the company. These references are independent and valid, which give important coverage to the article. The editor's suggestion that these references are for SEO purposes is speculative and unfounded. 3. Established presence and neutrality of the article: The page has been in existence for some time, demonstrating the presence and relevance of the product. The content is neutral and informative, aimed at serving the public interest, not self-promotion. 4. Concerns about the editor who requested the removal of the article: The user who nominated the article for removal is relatively new, with his main activity being the nomination of two articles for removal. This raises concerns about their possible inexperience, conflict of interest or other motives. The use of a single link as a basis for deletion is weak and rectifiable, and should not, on its own, be grounds for deletion under Wikipedia's policies. For all of the above reasons, the article should remain on Wikipedia and be improved if necessary.Juanma281984 (talk) 20:15, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete This is definitely on the line for passing GNG. I'm leaning towards delete as it's hard to find much significant independent coverage. The most significant source I could find is the aforementioned "viral video", the main focus of which is redkey USB and has 6 million views. Most everything else I can find is minor and or published by the parent company. Their Instagram has ~800 followers which leads me to believe they would fail GNG.

 * Delete: This in Computer Hoy, but it's a tiny article. El Espectator seems notable but it's written by "the editors" so feels like a product placement. I'm not seeing enough coverage in RS to keep the article. Oaktree b (talk) 02:19, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
