  • Question The most recent nomination was closed as keep a month ago - can you give more explanation for why it needs another discussion, such as any supporting evidence for the article having been written as paid editing? Dreamyshade (talk) 21:43, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep Company is obviously notable, paid editing or not. There is no WP:PROMO language as the nominator claims.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 02:12, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep as per the last AfD. Power~enwiki (talk) 03:38, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep passes WP:GNG.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:41, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep I am pleased with the improvements previously made to the article. If the article fell victim to "brochure" appearances, as one of the ongoing editors in its first years, I take that as constructive criticism (and an incidental testament to improved article standards). As the article creator, I stand by my statements that I have NO FINANCIAL CONNECTION or even a DIRECT PERSONAL CONNECTION to the company, its founders, or any employees, and I take strong exception to any allegations otherwise. This is a slur. --Dhartung | Talk 06:51, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
