- Lulz, I'm not affiliated to Ko-fi, I've not even used it in any form but is one of the most popular donation site for independent illustrators after Patreon. Most of the info I got from web archives from Archive.org, if I missed some sourcing I'd love to add them ;) Neko Spectrus ( talk) 05:28, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Added several sources after a quick WP:BEFORE. Seems to have enough reliable sources from newspapers/magazines.

- Response Hi Gilded Snail can you please post here any two links to articles that meet the criteria for establishing notability. "enough reliable sources" is not the full criteria - the sources must also provide in-depth coverage of the subject ( WP:CORPDEPTH) and contain independent content ( WP:ORGIND). I have examined the links added to the article and I do not see any that meet the criteria - perhaps I have missed something? HighKing ++ 16:59, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

- Delete I am unable to locate a single reference that meets the criteria for establishing notability. Of the non-Primary sources and the non-obvious business-as-usual sources, this Vice reference is a mention-in-passing and fails WP:CORPDEPTH, this Image reference does not cover the topic in any depth (fails WP:CORPDEPTH) and relies on information provided by the founder (fails WP:ORGIND), and finally this The Week reference is churnalism, relying almost entirely on information provided by the company, quotations from the founder, fails WP:ORGIND.

- Delete - sketchy references such as Twitter ( WP:TWITTER) and the company website - Ko-fi is not the subject of the articles in Verge, Vice Media and VentureBeat - does not meet WP:ORGCRIT - therefore, delete - Epinoia ( talk) 19:10, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
