| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Many sources do not seem like reliable sources. - Neutral: - Article does not read neutral with promotional wording like "enterprise-grade".
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: - Some close paraphrasing found.
- Other problems: - Completely fails third point on WP:DYKNOT, both editors were paid by AirSlate. Several citations contain bare URLs. The citations are not informative because they lack date, authors and publishers.
Hook eligibility:
- Cited: - The number seems very dubious. VentureBeat gives 20 million five months earlier. I don't think this is verifiable.
- Interesting:
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
I will request another editor to look at this, since I'm not experienced with DYK, but this current hook is highly implausible and AiThority does not seem like a reliable source. This seems to be an advert with a very bold claim about user numbers that should be backed up by independent sources. RoseCherry64 (talk) 19:37, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
- Note, submission account is globally locked due to being a suspected compromised account. This article contains numerous mistakes such as repeated references and bare URLs, which does not match up with the previous editing of this account, which has multiple DYKs of significantly higher quality.

Article was moved to draftspace owing to COI concerns. As the article is currently not in mainspace, there is no article to be reviewed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:28, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
