Vast majority of the article is unsourced, one of the editors is closely associated to Defaqto, the article is like an ad, and it has 4 orange tags. Sources also seem questionable. 🌶️Jalapeño🌶️ Don't click this link! 10:01, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• The orange tags were added by me a few minutes ago; you are free to proceed with this but I would suggest that the presence of the tags not be a part of the reason for deletion. 331dot (talk) 10:03, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This does read like a press release, sources found are mostly mentions or ratings for insurance. Nothing for GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 13:24, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - article is clearly promotional and entirely unreferenced except for the "History" section. Note that another user flagged it for deletion back in 2015 via WP: PROD. The article may be notable enough for encyclopedic inclusion but would need a complete rewrite. - Indefensible (talk) 01:35, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
