Usablenet

 * – ( View AfD View log )

PRODded with the rationale: "Fails the notability guideline for companies. Highly promotional tone. Created by a single-purpose account from LaunchSquad, a PR firm (see diff". NemesisAT removed the PROD, citing the existence of this Macworld article as a possible basis for notability. However, the article is nothing but a rewritten press release, based almost entirely on quotes from a Usablenet employee. This sort of churnalism is not considered to be an independent source for the purposes of NCORP, and thus the original concerns over notability remain valid. – Teratix ₵ 12:07, 17 August 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.
