 * Delete by all means as I concur with the nomination and the concerns listed here, the sources above in their bare URls, even begin by emphasizing "The businesspeople have been interviewed here today and want to say:" and the mere headlines list this, everything else supplied is literally this or republishing it, the fact the entire article and its information is all PR-motivated says alone, worse when the sources to supposedly support it, are PR itself. Hence, we're not a PR business listing so advertisers should not mistake it as one.


 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON; not yet notable for the encyclopedia. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:02, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Incubate This passes WP:GNG, but we need more since the start of a company is an event covered by WP:NOTNEWSPAPER.  Lacking a better guideline, I'd suggest planning to restore to mainspace after the topic has been in production for three years.  As per WP:NOT, fixing any WP:PROMO problem is done by attending to WP:NPOV.  Unscintillating (talk) 20:59, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
