I am unable to locate any references that meet NCORP's criteria for establishing notability, in any language. The article has been tagged since 2008, over 14 years ago, and still has no references.

Withdrawn by nominator One good reference has been uncovered and based on the other references, it is likely that other references that meet NCORP criteria for establishing notability exist.

Keep. There are plenty of reliable sources that exist for the subject. Putting "Edyカード" into Google News leads to literally over a thousand results, and "楽天Edy" nearly 10,000. Searching on Google Books for "Edy BitWallet" and "Edy Sony" also has a lot of results. In any case, the subject has had sustained coverage from reliable sources for over two decades, and it seems fairly important despite the poor state of the English article - For reference, Edy was the earliest E-commerce payment system in Japan (
doi:
10.14992/00011829), and held the largest market share for contactless payments in 2020 (
ITMedia 2020). Some more early sources:
IT Media 2002,
RBB Today 2003 (passing mention),
K-Tai Watch 2004,
Fujitsu 2004,
Famitsu 2005 (though I suppose this one's just a simple tie-in for a game),
Ascii.jp 2007.

Comment Thanks for retrieving the links but I can't see any of those sources meeting NCORP criteria for establishing notability. Can you link to the best
WP:THREE? NCORP criteria has specific requirements for *each* references as per
WP:SIRS which takes it above sustained coverage from reliable sources as you mention.
Since the topic is a company/organization, NCORP criteria requires multiple references that discuss the *company* in detail. As per
WP:SIRS *each* reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability - the quantity of coverage is irrelevant so long as we find a minimum of two.
WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with
in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing
"Independent Content".
"Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. This is usually the criteria where most references fail. References cannot rely only on information provided by the company, quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews fail ORGIND. Whatever is left over must also meet CORPDEPTH.
I've added five references to the article (though I haven't added all the information of the first one). I've also dug up a some more that I'll maybe get around to adding at some other point:
In any case, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the references above, and the ones I've added to the article. As I see it, this is more than enough to establish notability.

You're right, the second source isn't decisive when it comes to notability. As for ケータイ Watch, they
seem to have an editorial board, but then again, the articles I've linked are nearly twenty years old, so their editorial practices aren't entirely transparent. In any case, the disclaimer itself seems rather vague, and doesn't necessarily have to mean anything about the reliability of the content. Another source I've used in the article comes from this website, so if you still think they are potentially unreliable, I could find something to replace them.
To add my own input on the first reference, that seems to be a generic CYA disclaimer, NHK is a
WP:RS and also has
a similar disclaimer. @
ArcticSeeress:, if the Gale links are better than the ones you currently have, can you post them? Wikipedia editors have access to
WP:Gale as part of the Wikipedia Library.
