Comment from Author:I think that Bazaar Technologies is a notable startup, in Pakistan's startup space no other company has received bigger pre-seed funding.

The article is not spam, though I am sure it can be improved.

The company has already raised $100 million, which is a notable feat itself in Pakistan. The company has been covered by Bloomberg, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, with sustained coverage for the last 2 years.

I don't know what a black hat SEO is, SEO is search engine optimization, on the article I have only linked it to their official website, I have no affiliation with the company in the discussion.

I have not covered any press releases by the company, in case there are any, please identify them, they will be removed.

There are complete articles specifically related to this company on several websites, these are not passing mentions. Elmisnter! (talk) 15:27, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

made further changes to the article, it really did look like it was a promotional piece, I have removed the details about the founders and made the article more concise. I hope we get to keep it, I am planning to cover Pakistan's start up space so I will be adding more companies to Wikipedia. Elmisnter! (talk) 16:10, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

comment Hmmm... the ref says "Bazaar is trying to take a stake and solidify its place in the booming $170 billion retail market" becomes in the article "an aim to digitize Pakistan's $170 billion retail market". Really? Neutral? Victuallers (talk) 16:34, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

comment from author now that you it like this I guess it should just mention that 'it aims to bring local retail stores to its online platform' or 'it intends to give a digital platform to local retailers' Elmisnter! (talk) 19:29, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the spelling drift from Bazar to Bazaar throughout the article? HighKing⁺⁺ 13:06, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply. The references are the usual mixture of funding announcements although there is one paper from the Havard Business School dealing with the topic on whether the company should offer financing to its customers. I do not have access to the paper but it should be noted that multiple references are required. Topic therefore fails WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 13:05, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
