I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Kvng with the following rationale "depth of coverage is debatable, this is not an uncontroversial deletion, please use WP:AFD". I do not consider coverage here to be sufficient. 16 references but they don't seem to be sufficient. They have reliability issues - and that's discounting several which are very much self-published (PR announcements from company's own blog, etc.).

And many focus on routine coverage ("startups that got fnding this week are..."), or are based on rewriting company's PR stuff (ex.

Source: http://www.star-arcade.com/corporate/view/press/StarArcade-5milliondownloadsPressRelease-18July2011.pdf )". The company seems to have been nominated or won some awards which however are niche and don't establish notability.

Delete. I put two good sources on the talk page, but it's not enough to constitute significant coverage. czar 19:28, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
