The result was '''delete'''. The rewritten/stubified version still does not appear to pass muster with most discussants. [[User:MelanieN|MelanieN]] ([[User talk:MelanieN|talk]]) 02:20, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' I'm not really convinced that it meets NCORP and add to that the promo pressure, I go with a delete. The sources are also not very convincing. For example, [http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/fashion-curation-apps-like-limeroad-withme-voonik-are-carving-a-business-out-of-recommending-what-to-wear/articleshow/52352645.cms ET] has a very brief coverage (~150 words) out of which 100 words are quotes by the founder and investor. [http://www.hindustantimes.com/business/limeroad-to-redemption-why-e-com-troubles-make-suchi-mukherjee-happy/story-sAUju0EJoWSvhCif0JAnuN.html HT] is an interview of the founder which is not useful per [[WP:CORPIND]]. [http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ani/indian-fashion-scrapbooking-site-limeroad-raises-30-million-dollar-series-c-115033100253_1.html Business Standard] is a vert brief coverage about funding. [http://www.livemint.com/Companies/mvuL9EUPb0SrAcpKbc8L4L/Fashion-etailer-Limeroad-enters-menswear-segment.html LiveMint] is probably the only source which is somewhat better but not enough. The company has been trying to promote itself but it doesn't seem to have received enough secondary attention.--[[User:Lemongirl942|Lemongirl942]] ([[User talk:Lemongirl942|talk]]) 14:15, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''&nbsp; Well over the top for GNG as well as CORP.&nbsp; International coverage in the UK, and coverage of A. M. Marketplaces Pvt Ltd. in businessweek.com, [http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=223308316 link], are further evidence.&nbsp; The only question worth asking is, since it is a startup from 2012, does it satisfy SUSTAINED?&nbsp; This company seems to be beyond just a potential if they are claiming 10000 merchants.&nbsp; As usual, WP:PROMO specifies NPOV, which means that we are required to report why the company has commercial appeal, else the article would not be NPOV (and thus fail WP:PROMO).&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating|talk]]) 01:11, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
