 * Keep Independent coverage here and here. Epbr123 (talk) 13:10, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you have a direct link to the article for the pressdisplay coverage? Your link goes to a viewer with about 40 articles, and Firefox isn't finding "viwawa" on the page.  Pagra shtak  15:16, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment WP:NOTE requires "significant coverage", which means it has to be more than trivial. The provided source is only a trivial mention. --Peephole (talk) 15:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Calling Viwawa "Asia’s fastest growing social gaming network" isn't trivial. Besides, the other source I linked to is a nine paragraph article on the subject. Epbr123 (talk) 20:54, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's a link to the full article and not just the preview.  Pagra shtak  21:40, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * We need independent articles, not press releases. --Peephole (talk) 03:34, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * This isn't a press release. Epbr123 (talk) 12:17, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Viwawa (...), announced on Tuesday..." - It's a press release. So far, the only source calling this company "Asia’s fastest growing social gaming network" is Viwawa themselves. Sources/links provided in the article are not satisfactory; for example, the Infocomm123 "Special Article" is a glorified advert. Marasmusine (talk) 13:29, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I wasn't able to read the linked-to articles. All I was able to find were press releases, and they all say "Asia’s fastest growing social gaming network". That said, you might have better luck on Chinese-language sites since the company is from Singapore and caters to the rest of Asia. SharkD (talk) 07:51, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
