 * You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected and will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves, please read the autobiography policy. 331dot (talk) 08:38, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

The company is official and a pruduct has been released. MrVastayan (talk) 08:25, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Neither of which is relevant. A company does not merit an article for merely existing.  A company must receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company.  As it appears this company does not, the draft has been rejected and will not be considered further. 331dot (talk) 08:37, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Request on 12:16:55, 15 April 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by 109.183.207.18
I noticed Wikipedia didn't have an article about a billion-dollar company Worldcoin. So I wrote a short one, only to be rebuffed: Draft:Worldcoin Could someone please let me know what is wrong with my submission? You are saying the article does "not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject" I am using references to Technology Review, Bloomberg, BuzzFeed News and CNBC, all of them wrote articles specifically about this project. I am not connected to the project, but I feel that Wikipedia should have an article about company that has a billion+ dollar evaluation. Especially since there is a talk of the company doing shady stuff and people will be looking for information.

 * The first clue I see that notability(as defined at WP:ORG) is not satisfied is the word "startup". Startups almost never merit articles; a company must be established in its field to merit inclusion on Wikipedia. This is typically because articles about "startups" are typically sourced to press releases or announcements of routine business activities like the commencement of operations or the raising of capital. In this case, your sources seem to involve interviews, which are a primary source and do not establish notability. A Wikipedia article summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own, and not based on materials put out by the company, to say about it.
 * You have chosen to edit in a contentious area(cryptocurrencies) which has its own special rules due to prior and constant disruption in this topic area. I will inform you of those rules on your user talk page. 331dot (talk) 12:32, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your reply. I feel that "startup with valuation over 3 billion dollars" is quite a big one and it is actually dangerous that it has no Wiki page. Also, the sources are no press releases, they are detailed investigation by Technology Review, Bloomberg and BuzzFeed, all establisehd organizations. 109.183.207.18 (talk) 07:35, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

I am working to identify proper sources for my draft article. Does this count as a good source? https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200729005774/en/Fast-Company-Names-WillowTree-100-Workplaces-Innovators
 * Hi IP, thanks for posting a message here, unfortunately, it does not appear to be a good source, see WP:PRSOURCE and its about us page  Just ' i ' yaya  16:07, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
