The result was delete. The sources have been debunked and that hasnt been challenged. The keep arguments amount to assertion and there is a refusal to bring specific sources forward for examination. On that basis the delete argument is stronger but im willing to userfy. Spartaz Humbug! 18:45, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable Indian compliance service provider, SPA-article. Sources are press releases, promotional marketing articles, and a few passing mentions as event organisators and interviewees. Article contains a lot of puffery and self-serving "we explain our vision" quotes (which could be fixed of course, if it was the only issue). Google search shows no other suitable sources for independent in-depth coverage. GermanJoe (talk) 17:32, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I'm seeing a good deal of secondary source coverage amongst multiple references. Article itself may require cleanup and NPOV fixes, but topic itself is notable. — Cirt (talk) 05:55, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Cirt: Could you provide some examples of independent in-depth coverage about the organization please? I checked the current sources:
- ref #1 appears to be self-written by the company founder (EP usually attributes own articles, this one starts with "Vishal Kedia ... informs that ...")
- ref #2 is not accessible, but looks like an interview (which may contain additional independent coverage or not, impossible to tell)
- ref #3 is a passing mention (interview quote)
- ref #4 is a larger copy of ref #3, with 1 more interview sentence from the founder
- ref #5 is not about the company, the organization is only mentioned in passing (and INVC accepts reader-contributed articles)
- ref #6 is a self-written PR article (see the last 2 paragraphs)
- ref #7 is a probably self-written summary for one of their own events (non-neutral language, site publishes reader-submitted articles, no author).
- There is really not much independent coverage here, but maybe I am overlooking some other sources. GermanJoe (talk) 16:49, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I meant including searches at Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL and elsewhere, not necessarily in the article itself at present. — Cirt (talk) 22:35, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep as per Cirt, references don't have to be in the article (though it's helpful) to show that there's GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:43, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment (as nom) - I have now researched possible new sources for the third time with no success, and looked closely into several of the offered Google news results and other possible references. I did a lengthy WP:BEFORE check and a complete source check. Cirt, Megalibrarygirl, could you please provide 2 or 3 specific examples for this alleged independent in-depth coverage, with more than just passing mentions or self-written statements from the founder? Based on the currently available sources, both in the article and online, this promotional article (written by a company employee by the way) fails to meet WP:GNG and WP:ORG.

- Keep per Cirt. Needs a rewrite but the writers on Wikipedia are stretched thin! (I'll do it, but only if there's a guarantee it won't be deleted!) --MurderByDeadcopy"bang!" 01:34, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Userfy to MurderByDeadcopy - for his generous offer to bring this article up to snuff. Onel5969 TT me 13:59, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree with Onel5969's suggestion. If other sources really exist - although none of the contributors here have provided any specific examples after several requests -, working on the article in draft or userspace may be a reasonable outcome (see also the current WP:VPP discussion about "AfD culture", which might be relevant here).
