Fails WP:NCORP. Sources generally fail WP:ORGIND (interviews with the founders, reprints of office moving announcements, coverage of their own awards) or are trivial coverage (one-sentence CNN mention, startup rankings). ~ A412 ^talk! 03:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Helo Wcquiddich,

I have re-purposed the interviews with founders (so that they do not fail WP:ORGIND). Have removed the reprints of office moving announcements and the coverage of their own awards (since it is not notable enough, understandably). Have also removed references that are not independent (e.g. the company's website) except where relevant (e.g. how their service works).

As for the trivial coverage, I have moved the CNN reference elsewhere (which is more relevant), and have got rid of the startup rankings.

Aside these issues requiring a quick-fix, I still believe that this subject is eligible for a Wikipedia page due to its substantial coverage on the internet. A quick google search will prove my point.

Mattheozard123, Wcquidditch handled the deletion sourcing that helps alert interested editors that this AFD exists, A412 is the editor who nominated the article for deletion and started the discussion. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:31, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So how can this issue be resolved? I removed the citations that seemed to have been problematic - And the stuff that remains on the article is from reliable sources (and being in Greek doesn't undermine reliability). Mattheozard123 (talk) 09:18, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Fails notability guidelines, analysis of the article's source shows that almost all of them are unreliable/mentions. No sources found online. Toadette ^{(Let's discuss together!)} 20:52, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that most of the sources are reliable - Just because the sources are in greek doesn't undermine their reliability.

This company has been around for a decade. It has been used as an example by established greek news, won first place in North America's largest hospitality convention, and has even had a case study in a book published by the Entrepreneur (a fairly established and notable publisher). Its clients are also some of the biggest hotel chains in the world.

Although some of the sources were questionable, I am in the process of removing them. - That aside, I genuinely do not see a reason for an outright deletion of this article. Mattheozard123 (talk) 00:25, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: Sources 4 and 20 are RS per Source Highlighter, but are funding announcements. Rest are simple announcements or items not connected to the company (the DW article in particular). I don't see NCORP. Oaktree b (talk) 14:42, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
