Non-notable website without a single reliable source giving in-depth coverage of them. Links to their website have been actively spammed here for a long time by throw-away IPs on a considerable number of articles, and it was when doing an external link search (looking for more spam links) that I found the article. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 19:23, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep While external links to the site should be removed, the company seems quite notable. Clicking on that news links provides a few dozen newsworthy articles about them. I'm not from India but my guess is they are quite a big thing over there. Note there is quite a bit more history for that page here, a history merge might be appropriate. --Muhandes (talk) 21:22, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as corporate spam on an unremarkable travel web site. No value to the project. K.e.coffman (talk) 08:28, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I see coverage for this company in reliable sources including but not limited to [1], [2], [3]. Meets the notability criteria. Regards—UY Scuti ^Talk 14:43, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per the reliable sources identified above in the previous post which amount to sig cov in at least two with the other one probable but behind a paywall which lead to a pass of WP:GNG Atlantic306 (talk) 19:49, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment -- one of the said "sig coverage" is

• "ixigo plans to go for a third round of funding"

This is WP:MILL coverage related to funding and company aspirations. The other one is

• "ixigo launches app discovery platform for train travellers"

-- also routine launch publicity. I don't see sources here that address the topic directly and in detail that are not PR driven. WP:NOTNEWS also applies. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:14, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
