The result was delete. I find HighKing's analysis of the sourcing sufficiently persuasive in what was a poorly-attended discussion. Daniel (talk) 12:11, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

- Delete WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria. They are either standard business listings or short articles based on an "announcement" by the company - all of the articles I can find are within the company's echo chamber and the references posted above fail as follows:
- [https://cn.reuters.com/article/idUS122800060220120821 Reuters] reference is entirely based on a company announcement with no "Independent Content", fails ORGIND
- [https://web.archive.org/web/20200122013144/https://www.statesman.com/business/20200121/survey-company-questionpro-moves-hq-from-california-to-austin New Statesman] reference is also based entirely on a company announcement. For example [https://www.mrweb.com/drno/news29256.htm here are some] [https://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/news/2020/01/29/s-f-company-heads-to-texas-saying-bay-area-economy.html other articles covering] [https://www.questionpro.com/blog/questionpro-moves-global-headquarters-to-austin-tx/ the same announcment including the posting on the company website]. Fails ORGIND
- [https://www.wsj.com/articles/questionpro-buys-enprecis-group-from-bregal-sagemount-11608208200 WSJ article] follows a [https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2020/12/17/2146910/0/en/QuestionPro-Acquires-Enprecis-Group-from-Bregal-Sagemount-Launches-New-AutoX-Platform-to-Drive-Insights-for-Auto-Brands.html company announcement] and an interview with the CEO, there is no "Independent Content", fails ORGIND
- [https://www.geekwire.com/2018/survey-company-questionpro-acquires-workxo-bolster-workplace-engagement-tools/ The three] [https://www.geekwire.com/2014/online-survey-company-questionpro-buys-rapidengage/ Geekwire] [https://www.geekwire.com/2020/tech-moves-payscale-hires-kristin-boraas-general-counsel-alan-levy-joins-proprio-board/ references] are each entirely based on company announcements with no "Independent Content", they all fail ORGIND.
- [https://www.forbes.com/sites/sap/2021/07/28/five-ways-to-make-the-most-of-your-data/?sh=b0595eddb443 Forbes "sites"] reference is from the "paid program" and fails WP:RS. Not sure why its mentioned either since it doesn't even mention the topic company
- [https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/17/business/onslaught-of-surveys-is-fraying-customer-patience.html NYT] reference is a mere mention-in-passing along with another similar company, contains no information about the company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH
