Not notable. Only evidence of notability is being "featured" in prominent publications, but the sources aren't at all substantial. The Forbes article mentions Quietly once as one of "dozens of startups". The TechVibes article is kind of substantial but not enough to indicate notability on its own. The Vancouver Sun link doesn't work so I don't know about that. The other accolades are not quite getting a Fast 50 award and being featured on "advertise your product" websites.

Thanks for flagging this IagoQnsi. Appreciate you taking the time to review the content. I will update the links for the Vancouver Sun. PostMedia Newspapers have updated their linking/taxonomy which is why that link isn't working. I will also add some links from other reputable (i.e. news) sources to address your "unsibstantial" comment. Lastly, I will find a link to the Deloitte list that contains Quietly since that is indeed a legitimate and notable nomination. Agree with your comments re: "advertise your product" websites. We can edit that as well so it's more objectively positioned. — Preceding

- Delete. It is an ad and the "We can edit that [...]" comment above shows "they" are putting themselves on wikipedia. DeVerm ( talk) 23:12, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
