Reason: Fails
WP:GNG. Only sources are forum posts and a brief profile in SpywareGuide. Nothing special or notable about this adware compared to the thousands of other programs out there.
Reason: Won one competition of dubious notability, which garnered all relevant media coverage. Fails
WP:BLP1E. Clear
conflict of interest editing (subject appears to be primary author's daughter).
Reason: Fails
the notability guideline for companies: sources are either passing mentions, press releases, unreliable sources or indiscriminate database profiles.
Reason: Fails
WP:NPRODUCT; article only sourced to official website, and a further search only turned up passing mentions or unreliable sources (e.g. affiliated websites, forums, and download links). No obvious merge target.
Reason: Painfully aware of irony of nominating archival service for deletion; however, I can't find any sources discussing it beyond passing mentions (e.g. "AfL set up such-and-such service", "X, in partnership with AfL, did such-and-such" or "Joe Bloggs held such-and-such position at AfL") and affiliated sources.
Reason: Unsourced and promotional, fails
WP:NCORP. Page creator has an obvious conflict of interest. The little reliable coverage I could find in a search was solely routine and insignificant (e.g.
[1])
Reason: Fails
WP:NCORP. Unsourced except for official website, and no adequate sources found on a further search. Creator has exclusively edited promotionally.
Reason: Fails the
general notability guideline. A search revealed no sources beyond passing mentions or brief listings in large databases. Created by obvious
single-purpose account, evidently an employee of the magazine.
Reason: Fails the
notability guideline for companies. Unsourced, all sources found were either not independent, covered routine matters such as acquisitions or only mentioned the company in passing.
Reason: Fails the
notability guideline for companies. No reliable, independent sources that gave the subject more than routine coverage or a passing mention were found in the article or in my searches.
Reason: Fails the
notability guideline for companies. No qualifying coverage found under Revulytics, V.I. Labs or Trackerbird Software Analytics. Press releases, blogs, passing mentions and non-notable awards do not qualify. Creator has obvious COI.
Reason: Fails the
notability guideline for companies. This
Globe and Mail coverage might be decent (can't read without creating an account), but even in the best-case scenario where this article contributes to satisfying notability guidelines, NCORP requires multiple sources to qualify.
Reason: Fails the
notability guideline for companies. I only found
one article that could potentially contribute to notability (even that is probably excluded as hyperlocal coverage under NCORP).
Reason: Blatantly promotional, could almost be speedy-deleted. The only possibly passable source I found was
this piece in the Ottawa Citizen, but even that read like a puff piece.
Reason: Fails the
notability guideline for companies. The only potentially promising sources I found were the Sunshine Coast Daily ones, but they read like thinly-disguised press releases and in any case NCORP requires multiple independent sources.
Reason: Fails the
general notability guideline. Highly promotional. Creator is a
single-purpose account blocked for advertising. ITWorx, the company associated with the product, has a long history of having its page deleted and recreated (see
deletion log)
Reason: Fails
WP:NCORP. Sources already in the article are either non-independent, unreliable or do not mention Canopy. Best sources I found outside were mere passing mentions:
[2][3]. Previously G11'd.
Concerns previously raised by IP at the Help desk.
Reason: Fails the
general notability guideline. I considered redirection to
JavaFX where he is mentioned, but upon investigation he may not even be the most prominent software engineer named "Chris Oliver", so I worry this would be misleading.
Reason: Fails the
notability guideline for companies. Sources are routine funding announcements, biz journal interviews, hire announcements, TechCrunch etc.
