Wistia

This article fails WP:CORPDEPTH, hardly a decent source in the lot. An advertisement. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 12:43, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete: The article is not particularly written as an advertisement so much as a stub, and the Wall Street Journal is a decent source per WP:RSP, but what little I am able to read of it (paywalled) suggests that the company is being reported on as one of many examples of one "lacking impressive growth rates." (Normal caveat that the article is paywalled so I have not read the entire thing.) I'm not finding much other coverage. Gnomingstuff (talk) 16:49, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

 * The wsj article (i have a paid account) refers to wistia as an example of companies (also referred to some other company called SweetLabs Inc.) that raised debt from Accel-KKR to buy out the venture investors. I gather the purpose being to free founders from the stress to grow big or go public. The wsj source isnt per-se about wistia, but more about a trend in capital raising to get rid of the VCs. This source would be nice on a novel type of capital on the KKR article, but it doesnt really justify notability of this article subject. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 08:12, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete I am unable to locate any deep or significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, references to date fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic therefore fails WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 15:19, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
