    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow ZocDoc to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • Keep Gets coverage, valued at over a billion dollars, obviously reliable sources that cover businesses will cover this. Dream Focus 16:48, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Keep meets GNG with significant coverage spanning ten years from NYT, WaPo (from Cunard's list above), CNN, CNBC, PC World (in the article), among many others cited here and in the article. Also it's a billion-dollar company with millions of customers in thousands of cities. If we're going to have articles about companies, any company, then this is one that we should have an article about. Lev¡vich 16:52, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Keep - Rewritten to remove hatnotes. Sourcing demonstrates notability. Thanks {{u|Cunard}} for finding more sources and formatting them for me. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 02:01, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Keep Although not all of the references listed by Cunard above meet the criteria for establishing notability (for example the WSJ valuation article fails as does the NYT blog post) there are several that meet the criteria. Topic passes GNG/NCORP. HighKing++ 15:53, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
  • {{rto|HighKing}} To make it easier for others, would you mind saying which references are good and made you vote keep here? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:14, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Snowball keep per WP:GNG at the very least. This article should not have been nominated for deletion. gidonb (talk) 14:29, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Snow keep. Really, [https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/29/zocdoc-moves-ahead-with-its-new-business-model-change.html a two billion dollar company] not notable? Apart from the sources listed by CUNARD, there are lots of others, and even a cursory GBooks search, for example, produces examples of in-depth coverage such as these [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Making_the_Healthcare_Shift/J2Z0DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Zocdoc%22+-wikipedia&pg=PT168&printsec=frontcover][https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Startup_Playbook/iyAbTjqVXgkC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Zocdoc%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA197&printsec=frontcover][https://www.google.com/books/edition/Raving_Patients/_67YDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Zocdoc%22+-wikipedia&pg=PT69&printsec=frontcover].
