Crowdfunding website, which is not the subject of sufficient media coverage in reliable sources to pass WP:GNG. By far the majority of the references here are to glancing namechecks in coverage of projects which were crowdfunded — the problem being that those projects, not Pinkstart itself, are the subjects of those references — and the few remaining sources which are actually about Pinkstart in its own right are split even further by the fact that half of those are blogs rather than reliable media outlets. There are just two sources here (#2 and #4) that constitute valid support for an article about Pinkstart, and two sources aren't enough if you're shooting for GNG rather than a subject-specific inclusion criterion. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when the sourceability gets better. Bearcat ( talk) 22:47, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - This article was a draft which kept getting declined at AfC due to notability concerns. While not mentioned at AfC, it also might have had a COI issue, since the draft creator's username was "Pinkstart". Less than an hour after it was declined by a third different editor (and in the spirit of full disclosure, I was one of the three), the user account Merinix was created, and chose to bypass the AfC process. The AfC concerns can be found HERE. Those concerns are still apparent in this article. Fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 13:55, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- Still COI, for the record — a Google search on "merinix" brings up, as its very first hit, the Twitter feed of a person who bills himself as the CEO of Pinkstart. Bearcat ( talk) 04:24, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

- Delete as I mentioned to the author this would need further coverage but it seems they added none and the first draft was not yet acceptable. SwisterTwister talk 18:50, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - The COI is concerning, but a secondary issue to the lack of sources. I couldn't find sufficient sources to satisfy WP:GNG. May be notable soon, but not now. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:56, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
