I am likewise unable to find multiple sources that describe this company in-depth from independent reliable secondary sources. As such, I believe that this article should be deleted for failure to meet the relevant notable criteria at WP:NCORP in line with WP:DEL-REASON#8. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 05:54, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

• Keep The page has the minimum level of notable sources to pass GNG and remain in Wikipedia --Dark Juliorik (talk) 12:14, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
• Keep: Notable company and appears to be sufficiently covered to meet WP:GNG. --Bigneeerman (talk) 13:51, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
• Comment as nom. This is a for-profit corporation. Per WP:NCORP, the guideline establishes generally higher requirements for sources that are used to establish notability than for sources that are allowed as acceptable references within an article. As such, for-profit companies are not evaluated by GNG, but instead by the higher sourcing standards for notability. I'd ask those who claim that this passes a particular notability standard to explicitly state the sources they believe get the company over the hump so that others can evaluate their reasoning; I've already analyzed the sources in the article above and I don't really see any specific pushback against that analysis either based on contesting it directly or finding sources not mentioned in it that contribute towards the company's notability. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 17:40, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
• Weak Keep -- The article needs some work and more sources, but the company is clearly notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 不和の林檎 (talk • contribs) 07:39, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

  Can you provide sources that you believe show that this meets WP:NCORP? — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 14:13, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

• Delete' I didn't find any reliable source which makes it notable.☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 08:09, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:GNG at least. I've added several reliable sources (launch of da vinci platform -MartechSeries and a Bloomberg article) and a line about Maropost Ventures (sources are with passing mentions but it's enough to mention a venture arm of the company).
