{{AFC comment|1=This makes [[WP:PUFFERY|claims]] of having a "notable reputation", yet is not proven at any point. As such, it's mere promotion of the company. The companies whose websites apparently use the service are not even referenced to be doing so. The use of blogs as "sources" is [[WP:RS|unacceptable]] <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User talk:DangerousPanda|<font style="color:#ffffff;background:black;"> the panda </font><font style="color:#000000;background:white;"> ₯’</font>]]</span></small> 23:57, 16 June 2014 (UTC)}}

{{AFC comment|1=The changelog episode is pretty much the only reference that counts towards establishing notability. Blogs and sources that barely or don't mention the topic of the article do not count. <span style="border:2px solid #0918E8;background:#067D06;">[[User:TheCascadian|<font color="white">'''The'''</font>]]'''[[User talk:TheCascadian|<font color="white">Cascadian</font>]]'''</span> 01:40, 28 April 2014 (UTC)}}

{{AFC comment|1=No extensive coverage in [[WP:IS|independent]] nor [[WP:IRS|reliable]] sources, therefore [[WP:GNG|non-notable]]. [[User:FoCuSandLeArN|FoCuSandLeArN]] ([[User talk:FoCuSandLeArN|talk]]) 21:49, 16 October 2013 (UTC)}}
