Non-notable company. The sources appear to be largely PR/churnalism, the rest are routine coverage. I also strongly suspect that this was paid content. creffett (talk) 01:21, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello Everyone,

Today morning I created a page Foloosi which has been marked for deletion by User:creffett. I would like to inform you that I'm not associated with the company in any way nor I've been paid by the company to do it. Being a startup enthusiast, my purpose of creating the page is to acknowledge the companies working in the fintech sector of the UAE and MENA regions. The company for which I've created the page has been listed under top 20 fintech list of Forbes in the UAE.

Without knowing much about the company or doing prior research, User:creffett made an attempt to get the page deleted, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Foloosi. It is clearly an attempt of Wikipedia:Overzealous deletion.

Everybody's opinion matter, but saying that it is not a notable company isn't valid, because the company is listed under Forbes' list of 20 Fintechs in the Middle East, makes it notable as well as a valuable company for the MENA startup ecosystem. On top of that, imagine creating a page for PayPal or Stripe, and somebody comes imposing his/her opinion and mark it for deletion, it is not ethical at all.

Afterall, it is my 4-hour hard work. After this, I'll be stepping forward to create a page on Careem Pay, the fintech arm of MENA's unicorn Careem, now owned by Uber.

I hereby request you to remove the deletion request and let others contribute to it.

Thanks!

• Delete Does look as an advertisement of a not notable company. My very best wishes (talk) 02:09, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
• Delete Referencing is just a collection of PR churnalism. Article was clearly written for advertorial/web presence-boosting purposes. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:47, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
