Promotional article about a startup that doesn't appear to meet WP:CORPDEPTH; other than funding there doesn't seem to be substantial coverage. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:25, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete, two articles, spaced two years apart, in The Economic Times seem to point to significant coverage; however, they both seem to be PR pieces. The other sources don't seem to establish notability either. Enterprisey (talk!) 05:30, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Rereading my comment, it is ambiguous about whether "the other sources" refers to only the sources in the article. I meant it as "all sources I found while searching with various search engines".

Anyway, to go back through the two sources: the 2016 article ("Track your driver real-time with Locus") is a PR piece as far as I can see, and the 2018 article ("This Bangalore-based startup promises to solve all inefficiencies for a logistics company") looks better, although still written in a promotional style (making it not an IS) - "Locus.sh is a state-of-the-art decision-making platform which optimizes logistics operations to provide consistency, efficiency and transparency", for example.

If someone else points out sources that meet CORPDEPTH, I'll definitely reconsider. Enterprisey (talk!) 01:10, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete References fail to meet the criteria for establishing notability, topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP HighKing⁺⁺ 19:30, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Clarification One reason given for relisting was that it was unclear whether the Delete !votes referred to the references within the article or references in general. My !vote above was after a general perusal of sources within the article and sources online. Not forensically extensive not reasonable. Having undergone another search I see no reason to change my !vote at this time. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:42, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment One of the reasons provided for restoration was Locus.sh has been in operations since 2015 and has received over 200 media validations/articles since it started. Google reports <100 articles for this company for me. They appear to be the normal run-of-the-mill announcements and interviews ranging from fund-raising, interviews with founders, about, etc. Perhaps someone could post some links to articles that they believe meet the criteria for establishing notability?
