SoMedia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A non-notable company. This company went bankrupt in 2016. It was a cloud video technology company that had no products that I can find. Before isn't returning anything and the links in the article are all 404. There are a number of different companies that trade with this name - one based in Switzerland has several thousand employees and has a greater claim to notability than this one. The article was created by User talk:Man Elsa who had a similar article refused at AfC and a draft deleted. Desertarun (talk) 15:28, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. An editor moved the article to VidWrx, its newer name. Desertarun (talk) 10:16, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes I did that, as they changed names, but the AFD is preserved.Webmaster862 (talk) 10:21, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Delete I tried to improve it a little and searched Google, but there is not significant coverage on this one from any notable sources. Webmaster862 (talk) 10:20, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete: A WP:SPA article about a briefly active company. The references listed in the article are routine start-up coverage and announcements, and searches on both SoMedia Networks and VidWrx find little coverage, nothing which meets WP:CORPDEPTH. (Strangely, there is a Q&A with the company founder datelined Dec 2017, which is later than their rename and demise, but this may be a regurgitation of a 2013 VanCityBuzz piece which is no longer accessible.) Fails WP:NCORP. AllyD (talk) 08:38, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Poorly referenced/formatted COI WP:CORPSPAM. Hope they didn't pay for this shoddy job... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:47, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for 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. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 20:47, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
