First tip-off was the [http://stats.grok.se/en/latest90/Collegesolved anemic pageview tallies] -- I know, an unofficial measure. But checking further, there may be at best one or two real sources dating from a few years ago, but nothing much since then.

The few occasional sources are all from a few years ago, nothing much since 2011 or 2012. Accordingly, this subject fails to meet the general notability guideline in my view.

  • Delete: Searches are turning up little more than trademark announcements. No evidence of notability. AllyD (talk) 19:01, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

  • Delete. It did have a few hits in Tom's business search above, but they were press releases. LexisNexis search had listings and trademark filings. ProQuest had two hits in Investment Weekly News and the rest were repackaged press releases. Coverage in article is either press release or student paper, and the Bloomberg article is more about entrepreneurship than the company. No worthwhile redirect targets. Please ping me if non-English or offline sources are found. czar  05:04, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Delete; any sources for notability are self-published press releases as well as listings on websites. Epicgenius (talk) 19:18, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Delete Per above and lacks reliable third party sources. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 15:06, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
