Fails WP:NCORP a before finds no significant coverage in independent sources, the article has only primary sources, seems like there is nothing else. Theroadislong (talk) 06:36, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They claim to lead the industry but according to customers they just spam press releases to some obscure websites. Polygnotus (talk) 06:41, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Would need a major overhaul with proper sourcing to meet GNG.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 07:32, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This is one of the largest press release companies, it is well-known, so it's very very hard to find coverage that is independent from Accesswire. I've spent 15 minutes looking and I can't see anything. If someone can find and send over a few links that are, I am quite willing to change my vote to keep.

Comment as creator: Echoing Cleo. I created this page as it is a widely known company in the PR world, and (referenced quite extensively). I started this article as stub, to eventually work on it, but I never had the time. If someone can save it, please do. But as the creator, I remain neutral.

Delete Looked for sources in several places that discuss the firm, but found nothing of use. yes, they are cited widely but to my knowledge that itself doesn't warrant notability without any sort of sig coverage of themselves. X (talk) 05:26, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - @Rehman:, I looked hard for sources but unfortunately am only finding websites that write content based on releases they have made. Nothing in-depth about the company which would be a requirement of WP:ORGCRIT. It is unfortunate as it is one of the more well-known press release distribution platforms. --CNMall41 (talk) 00:44, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
