Company is not notable. References given are primarily press releases, no reliable citations. Most of the editing has been done by single-use accounts, used only for this article. Article is not accurate, even a brief Google search will confirm that it is based in France. An article on the same company was deleted last year (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mobiquant) and I do not believe that anything has changed since then.

  • Comment: Large chunks of this article are pasted directly from the firm's website, so are a clear :WP:COPYVIO. AllyD (talk) 07:28, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Delete: The current iteration of the article is referenced to primary sources, also carrying a large sheaf of external links. Neither there nor elsewhere am I finding reason to overturn the 2013 AfD decision. Fails :WP:CORPDEPTH. AllyD (talk) 07:35, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Delete: The article hasn't been able to overcome any of the problems for which it was originally deleted and fails to meet the notability guidelines WP:GNG, WP:CORPDEPTH. One of the main sources for the article is an event announcement, which is where the WP:CORPDEPTH comes into play. The other article does appear to be an interview(?), but I don't read French. In all my searches, I failed to find anything other than press releases and announcements. But right now the bottom line seems to be that the company doesn't meet the WP:COMPANY standard.EBstrunk18 (talk) 21:57, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

:* The French JDN article takes an interview form, but the questions are just feed lines about the firm's products. I did also find a similar type of Q&A from [http://www.globalsecuritymag.fr/Reda-Zitouni-Mobiquant-Nous,20090430,8897.html Global Security Mag in 2009], but again regard that as effectively a primary source.
