Most of the sources are about Nosh (app) rather than about the company Nosh Technologies, and notability is not inherited. The Enterpreneur source is the only that talks really about the company, but does not satisfy WP:ORGDEPTH, and is not quite independent (full of quotes). A search for additional sources did not find any sources that could count towards notability. Femke (talk) 08:10, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Most of the news references in Nosh (app) and Nosh Technologies talk about Nosh, which might seem like the news sources are talking about the Nosh app, but India Currents, EU Startups & Outlook (India magazine) mentions that Nosh Technologies is also called as Nosh (company) or referred to as Nosh. Separately, there are several news sources cited in the article that talks about Nosh Technologies' products and services, which are separate from the Nosh (app).

Comment: Three independent news sources that talk about Nosh Technologies or Nosh (company) as follows. TechCrunch, Outlook (India magazine) & India Currents.

There are several other news sources as well that talks about Nosh as a company, which are already cited in the article. IMLone wolf (talk) 12:55, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Let's analyse these five sources one by one. Please read WP:ORGIND: text that is based on press releases is not considered independent either. The amount of quoting in the articles makes me think it's either an interview / heavily interview based or based on press releases.

India Current: mostly quotes, not independent
EU Startups: a directory of companies, no significant coverage
Outlook a mostly quotes and repeating what Nosh daily has to say
TechCrunch per WP:TECHCRUNCH usually not useful to establish notability (possible COI articles). Also mostly about the app, and what it says about the company is mostly quoted to their CEO Dey.
Outlook b This comes closest to what we want, but I don't think it's independent either, with quotes again taking up quite a bit of space.. Femke (talk) 15:45, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Femke Thank you for sharing the article links and your view on them. I do see your point. However, I would assume good faith. I cross-checked the above articles to see if there are any similar press releases available, however, I was not able to find them. Just to keep in mind, often times news and media platforms also reach out to people in the company for quotes or updates. It might also be the case of that instead of press release. However, we don't have a definitive way to prove this (at least not that I am aware of). IMLone wolf (talk) 17:14, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Still, if an article is mostly made up of quotes, there is little remaining text to satisfy the "significant" criterion. Femke (talk) 17:16, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
