{{AFC comment|1=Hi. Great to see they had a feature in the Washington Post. The Hechinger is just a reprint of the same article, so it doesn't count towards getting a Wikipedia article. The Spanish language one also appears to be a press release or promotional piece.
If there are other feature pieces, like the Washington Post article, about NewU, feel free to improve the article. But, with what you have presented thus far, it is WP:TOOSOONfor NewU to have its own Wikipedia article. The other sources you presented outside the Washington Post article are not usable.
I hope you will consider improving existing Wikipedia content about other subjects of interest!
If you have any questions please ask them at WP:TEAHOUSE.
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! Missvain (talk) 02:48, 3 July 2022 (UTC)}}
{{AFC comment|1="The Canadian News" is not a reliable source. "Yahoo.com" is just a republished press release. -Liancetalk/contribs 00:21, 12 March 2022 (UTC)}}
{{AFC comment|1=All the sources cited are primary, and therefore cannot establish notability per WP:GNG / WP:ORG (and the Forbes piece doesn't even mention the subject). DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:06, 8 August 2021 (UTC)}}
