Fails WP:NCORP, WP:ORGIND, WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:CORPTRIV. References are routine business news. scope_creep^Talk 18:16, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

:Tentative Keep Delete, Having searched for Asteria Aerospace I have found a few articles spread over a range of different times that provide coverage with it as the main or a significant focus of the coverage, and so appear to provide notability. I would appreciate if someone else would take a look though, especially to verify that the sources are reliable, which they seem to be on a surface level.

:The following is just a list to those articles if you want to take a look:

::All of these press release based. Routine annoucements that fail WP:CORPTRIV and WP:ORGIND. scope_creep^Talk 15:21, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Fair enough, when you had said routine business news I had thought more along the lines of announcements about leadership, goals, fundraising, etc.

:::But if that is routine (which it probably is) then yeah it probably does fail for sufficient notability. Emily.Owl (talk) 18:15, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

::::{{ping|Emily.Owl}} If you look at the first reference there. There is no byline, so that makes it suspect already. It means its not under editorial control, or no editor has actually looked at it. It just a seo tech author putting it together to look like a proper story, but there is no journalistic process. 2ndly, look at what it says: "full-stack drone technology company proudly announces". Nobody write like that unless its promotional branding. 3rdly, you can take the block of text to search if you see commonalities of names, images, specific statements, common statements and so on. If you searched here for example: "This significant milestone underscores Asteria's commitment to Atmanirbhar Bharat" it pops up a company press release on their website: [https://asteria.co.in/public/assets/img/DroneChronicle/Drone%20Chronicle%20Newsletter_Jan25%204.pdf] showing its a paid for branding exercise. It is PR. But it is not always press release companies like pressnote.in. Other times it takes some work to devine the information true source, which may be actually be the journalist. Hope that helps. scope_creep^Talk 08:44, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

::Ref 2 here fails WP:ORGIND absolutely. Ref is a profile, an advert is non-rs. They are absolute junk. Classic WP:NEWSORGINDIA scope_creep^Talk 18:41, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

• Delete Not notable based on current sources. Reads like a company promo. Don't think it meets WP:NCORP. Ramos1990 (talk) 06:15, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
