XPANCEO

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Spammy article on company that, as far as I can tell, struggles to meet WP:BASIC, let alone the more stringent WP:CORP. None of the sources in the article contribute to notability:
 * 1) Ref 1: A Forbes Contributors article.
 * 2) Ref 2: An advert on the website of what looks to me to be a dodgy award.
 * 3) Ref 3: An obvious PR/paid-for piece.
 * 4) Ref 4: A Forbes profile of the company founder that, if nothing else, is obviously not significant coverage of the company.
 * 5) Ref 5: The source contains a few lines about the founder, again; nothing about the company.
 * 6) Ref 6: More or less the same as Ref 5, and therefore the same issues.
 * 7) Ref 7: Most of this TechRadar article reports what the company has to say about itself, or peripheral information about the field - not independent reporting on the company's work.
 * 8) Ref 8: This looks like a version of a press release subject to churnalism by multiple other outlets as well. Searching on Google for the headline of this article unearths other articles such as this press release.
 * 9) Ref 9: not significant coverage of the company.

Searching the company on Google doesn't yield anything better, as far as I could tell. I mostly found interviews, blog posts, passing mentions, PR pieces or churnalism.  Java Hurricane  12:29, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Genuinely, I do not think that it is appropriate to say the article is Spam while in the reality that it represents something true. Over google there could be plenty of PRs. But, here I used references from reliable sites and non PR ones I have also included some more references and will continue to add more if I am getting time. And for your information this article was created and was live on Wikipedia's main-space for a long time but, for unknown reason the main contributor of the article made it blank and that is why it was removed and I tried to make it happen again.

 * I guess that works too, but it's a bit moot. Alpha3031 (t • c) 11:49, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
