Another incomplete nomination, this time by User:Jack11777, whose rationale on the talk was "The writings of this article is fairly biased and purely promotional, it mainly focus on company segments and company as whole, content is similar to promotional material. This article does not meet Wikipedia policies, being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. This page fairly biased, promotional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack11777 (talk • contribs) 16:38, 14 September 2013 (UTC)" It's been cut down substantially since then to remove the promotional language, but I don't think it passes WP:GNG - the sole source is a passing mention (interview with founder or something, that doesn't actually talk about the company) and I can't find anything else on almighty Google (or GNews).

 * Comment Not only had the article text been cut down prior to the nomination, but its single most impressive reference - the article in The Hindu - had also been erased. I have restored that; its text indicates potential bases for notability if verified "47,000 registered members and three lakh readers", "'Villgro Journalist of the Year 2010' Award and a NASSCOM award."

 * Well, I saw that in my search but didn't think it passes, since it's about the founder (awards included, the way I read it), not the site itself, so WP:NOTINHERITED comes into play here. I couldn't find any third-party source to verify the count and I'm not sure how that would confer notability in any case. Ansh666 21:41, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
