References fail the criteria in WP:NCORP for establishing notability as they are based on company announcements or interviews or are from self-published sources with no editorial oversight.  HighKing++ 13:53, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep The company has press mentions at trusted independent sources (French newspapers), but it has no book mentions and no press coverage outside France. I've formatted citations in this article. --Gprscrippers (talk) 15:37, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment "Press mentions at trusted independent sources" is not part of the criteria for establishing notability. Looking at the citations in the article, lesechos.fr is a promotional profile after the company "received the approval of the competitiveness cluster Finance Innovation" including a quote from the founder and fails WP:ORGIND (no indications of independent analysis/opinion/etc). This reference from entrepreneursdavenir.com is another profile piece and relies entirely on information provided by the company including quotations from the founder and is exactly the type of churnalism that WP:NCORP says is not to be considered for the purposes of establishing notability. The reference from startup-story.fr is essentially a blog and fails WP:RS. The reference from ouest-france.ft is another profile piece based on the company winning an award and relies on information and quotations/interviews from company sources, fails WP:ORGIND. The reference from nantesmetropole.fr is based on the same event and fails WP:ORGIND for the same reasons. The next reference from lesechos.fr is entirely based on an interview with the founder describing their business and their processes, fails WP:ORGIND. Finally, the reference from ladepeche.fr is a mere mention-in-passing and fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:CORPDEPTH.  HighKing++ 13:32, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - I do not have the ability to do a thorough evaluation of the French sources, but on their face they appear to be general announcements and do not meet WP:CORPDEPTH. Outside of those, there is nothing out there that could help establish WP:NCORP. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:25, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nightfury 15:22, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - It appears that the sources are largely press releases, which aren't great for establishing notability because every company worth its salt will seek them out and easily get them as a source of advertising. Cosmic Sans (talk) 16:03, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Very weak sourcing, as aleady noted above, with a very strong aroma of promotion. -The Gnome (talk) 18:14, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
