WP:COI and WP:PROMO issues. Single source, and what the source says is mis-stated (it says the company was a finalist to be on the list, not that it made the list). No real evidence of WP:NOTABILITY. JamesG5 (talk) 07:57, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as simply nothing at all better convincing for any applicable notability, this is expected from several believing the article is acceptable but I can see it's not yet. SwisterTwister talk 05:53, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Topic is edited ans passes WP:COI and WP:PROMO issues. It is edited to remove any misconception about the achievement of the company. There are enough independent sources. For years the company has been known in India and recognized by various recognized institutions for its achievements. Tweak and copy edit the article rather than delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John2021 (talk • contribs) 13:10, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Two new editors seem to be editing only this article/AFD and Silicon India... In any case, no evidence of notability, despite the deceivingly impressive-looking list of references in the article. --Randykitty (talk) 17:33, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• comment & keep . Editor is active from last few years from the logs, not for just 2 articles but done active participation in Indian related business activity and development from neutral point of view. Editor follows Wikipedia norms and considers all the criteria for article appropriateness. The comment is biased for an editor. Silicon India follows the notability guidelines. It is not only popular media source but millions of users and various media institutions (popular and recognized) covers news from Silicon India Sources.

• Comment One !vote per editor. Please note that "Light21" is Exioms2050. --Randykitty (talk) 18:38, 11 April 2016 (UTC) Note: This comment was made because Exiom2050 deceptively signed the previous (now unsigned) comment as "Light21". --Randykitty (talk) 08:16, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Disruptive comment struck, editor blocked for 31 hours for disruptive editing. --Randykitty (talk) 08:14, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete No evidence of WP:CORP notability, just trivial mentions and press releases. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:09, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep There are articles written in a similar context and similar kind of references are given. It clears the Wikipedia criteria for WP:CORP WP:COI and WP:PROMO . There are abundance of cases from all over the world in Wikipedia who relies on secondary (likely) media sources as mentioned in Exioms such as techcrunch, mashable, gigaom ,arstechnica ,Engadget ,The Next Web. There are some globally significant names also Apple Inc, Microsoft which relies or covered by such media. Some of the references are from Category Companies established in 2010 worldwide can be found. Few companies do not provide any values as per the references but are originated from particular geographical regions and covered by local media Adzerk, AdKeeper, Adonit About.me and kept as article within Wikipedia without any obligations. Exioms is covered by media which is recognized globally and their referenced are used in Wikipedia article creations as well. Examples are paytm, snapdeal, facebook, linkedin All content or articles are treated equal and with same significance if considered for deletion. It does not use promotional language or any advertising tone to the notability of article.

Comment: Brand new user, only edit to the article in question. Also added unsourced information that calls into question the neutrality of this vote.--Cahk (talk) 08:29, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

From their use of English, this is a rather obvious sock of Exioms2050 (now Light2021). I am going to block them accordingly. --Randykitty (talk) 09:25, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, found in a reference on Red Herring: The Red Herring Awards Scam. –Be..anyone 💩 19:48, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It does not provide anything significant with article written from a blog? No credibility to the source itself. If that's the case every article written on Wikipedia that mentioned Red Herring must be deleted and treated equally. References: Elance, BitTorrent (company), IndiaMART, ixigo, youtube SunTec Business Solutions and thousands of other companies listed in Wikipedia. List of companies are easily found on wikipedia search. Even the Red Herring Article Red Herring (magazine) must be deleted. Apart from this Article mentioned as being a finalist, Exioms has given other credible sources for its notability. John2021 (talk) 21:16, 16 April 2016 (UTC) Obvious sock of User:Light2021. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 00:16, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Above comment is from another brand new user whose first action was to jump in to that article & this discussion, and who, like some of the others here, has been engaged in other questionable editing relating to Indian tech businesses. Between the editing pattern & language usage this appears to be another sock. JamesG5 (talk) 23:41, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Zedopuppy, who repeated John2021's attempted close is almost certainly a sock too, but it's late and I'm too tired to file an SPI report now - I've just duck blocked the two of them for sockpuppetry instead, and I've semi-protected this page against edits from unconfirmed accounts. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 23:48, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And the likely master just did this shortly after I blocked a sock - I might file an SPI once I've had some sleep. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 00:13, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
