Fails WP:NCORP. Wikipedia is not a directory of companies. No claim to notability. Previously deleted (December 2018). The article has a different set of references, but still no in-depth coverage by reliable, independent, secondary sources. . Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 15:47, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:NCORP. Article fails to establish why it is notable, nor can I find any sources that can verify its notability. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 23:55, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete 's detailed matrix of the sources provided here and in the first AfD demonstrate a lack of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Attempts to find better sources have failed and this can safely be said to fail both WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 19:46, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SNOW, WP:MILL, NCORP, and GNG. Thank you for your excellent analysis of the sources. Bearian (talk) 15:38, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * P.S. I want to stress that it was supposed to be deleted a year and a half ago, and there's been zero improvement. I suggest a WP:SALT by the closing admin. Spam articles that are re-created are subject to salting. Bearian (talk) 15:40, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
