Fails WP:NCORP. Lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. The Sky News source is routine, and the remainder of the sources do not appear to be reliable. Fancy Refrigerator ^(talk) 17:09, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete SkyNews doesn't actually mention the company, nor does Mordor Intelligence. The rest are a mix of sponcon and press release churnalism. Doesn't meet WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. - MrOllie (talk) 17:15, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This clearly meets WP:NCORP. TechCrunch provided substantial coverage analysing the company's business model and market approach, going beyond routine funding announcements to examine their approach to workplace learning. UKTN, AIM Group, and Crowdfund Insider have also offered detailed coverage of the company's significance in the corporate learning market. Multiple reliable sources have independently chosen to cover and analyse this company's market impact and business approach. This represents the substantial independent coverage that WP:NCORP requires.

The SkyNews and Mordor Intelligence sources are used as reliable sources to cite facts relating to the history of the company, with its notability established by other significant coverage.

Similarly meets WP:GNG as covered by multiple reliable independent sources. Rpatel3710 (talk) 16:28, 13 August 2025 (UTC) — Rpatel3710 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

It's the usual press release churnalism, and per WP:TECHCRUNCH it is not enough to meet notability requirements. No number of these folks posting the same quotes copied from the press release would be enough to meet WP:NCORP. - MrOllie (talk) 16:40, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are you using large language models to write your comment? The Sky News and Mordor Intelligence sources say nothing about 5Mins.ai or its history. The former covers Perkbox and the latter covers neither the parent company nor 5Mins.ai. Fancy Refrigerator ^(talk) 16:54, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, why would I be using an LLM to write my comment? I meant that the Sky News source relates to the history through the founder (which is where it is used as a citation), and Mordor Intelligence to the industry (which was again cited to provide context). I agree those two sources don't mention the company itself, but were used to backup relevant statements in the article. Rpatel3710 (talk) 22:48, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom - most of the references are just press releases. No mention of this company at Sky News. Limmidy (talk) 02:06, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
