Fails WP:NCORP. I've gone through the sources in the article and precisely zero of them appear to contribute towards corporate notability:

Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Secondary? Overall value toward ORGCRIT GRUNGECAKE's website This is the website of the article subject – WP:ABOUTSELF Moot as clearly non-independent Moot as clearly non-independent Vanguard (Nigeria) (1) Unclear. This might be a press release that was regurgitated by multiple newspapers (see link to Nigeria's The Guardian below) NPP source guide says reliable, though this story doesn't exactly have a byline and reads almost as if a press release While there is coverage of the founder of GRUNGECAKE, Per WP:ORGDEPTH, Sources are not transferable or attributable between related parties ...for example, an article on a product recall or a biography of a CEO is a significant coverage for the Wikipedia article on the product or the CEO.

Coverage of GRUNGECAKE itself, as a company/platform, is minimal. why not? New Telegraph I think so? why not? GRUNGECAKE is trivially mentioned in ~2 sentences. why not? Independent Nigeria I think so? Why not? GRUNGECAKE is trivially mentioned in passing. why not? iMullar Per WP:ORGIND, in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. This is a raw transcript with an interview of GRUNGECAKE's founder. It's probably faithful to the words of that interview. – There's some discussion of GRUNGECAKE that borders on being significant coverage This is a raw interview, which is definitionally a primary source. The Nation (Nigeria) I think so, though I'm skeptical w.r.t. the independence of the content. NPP Source guide says this is a reliable newspaper While there is coverage of the founder of GRUNGECAKE, Per WP:ORGDEPTH, Sources are not transferable or attributable between related parties ...for example, an article on a product recall or a biography of a CEO is a significant coverage for the Wikipedia article on the product or the CEO. Coverage of GRUNGECAKE itself, as a company/platform, is minimal. why not? Lomography There's issues with the independence of the content given the long interview with a non-WP:ORGIND party. They also appear to have sponsored the group by giving them a free camera and then interviewing them after the fact. This is the blog of a camera manufacturer, which is certainly not a WP:NEWSORG. GRUNGECAKE is certainly discussed significantly. – The vast majority of the coverage of GRUNGECAKE comes from verbatim responses in an interview, which is a primary source. The opening paragraph *might* be secondary coverage. GhanaWeb Seems to be independently written Seems like a WP:NEWSORG Grungecake gets trivially mentioned in about two sentences. The coverage is so brief that it's not clear that there's a way to do primary vs secondary source analysis PM News Nigeria Why not? Why not? The coverage of GRUNGECAKE as a company/platform is trivial in light of WP:ORGDEPTH. Some of the coverage appears to be secondary. Blueprint (Nigeria) This appears to be based off a press release and not rewritten, which would impair independence in light of WP:ORGIND why not? While there is coverage of the founder of GRUNGECAKE, Per WP:ORGDEPTH, Sources are not transferable or attributable between related parties ...for example, an article on a product recall or a biography of a CEO is a significant coverage for the Wikipedia article on the product or the CEO. Coverage of GRUNGECAKE itself, as a company/platform, is minimal. This appears to be a regurgitation of primary source material rather than secondary coverage This Day This appears to be based off a press release and not rewritten, which would impair independence in light of WP:ORGIND Why not? While there is coverage of the founder of GRUNGECAKE, Per WP:ORGDEPTH, Sources are not transferable or attributable between related parties ...for example, an article on a product recall or a biography of a CEO is a significant coverage for the Wikipedia article on the product or the CEO. Coverage of GRUNGECAKE itself, as a company/platform, is minimal. Why not?

Additionally, I'm also not able to find WP:ORGDEPTH-level coverage of GRUNGECAKE form multiple independent RS after conducting an online search. Richardine Bartee, its founder, does appear to have an article, so I propose that this be blanked and redirected to her article, where the topic can be adequately covered. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 05:21, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep it took me a while to read and understand Wikipedia, The website is Grammy recognized and owned by a recording academy board member. The sites has been covered in reliable sources and doesn’t need a very long article for confusion to pass Wikipedia GNG, the site was recognized in 2020 as the number 3 site to find new hip hop music and that is a sure time pass. I don’t just create articles, I read this Wikipedia:WikiProject Magazines/Writing guide very well before starting to create this article.

  • Notability is not inherited from this company’s founder, even though she is clearly notable. That notability of a company is not inherited from notability of its founder is a foundational principle of corporate notability on Wikipedia.
    At minimum, would you please provide a list of WP:THREE sources you believe show this company passes WP:NCORP, and why you believe that their coverage qualifies as WP:SIRS? — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 05:58, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    I have just changed my mind, I support the redirection you suggested. Afternoon Daydream (talk) 06:29, 8 October 2022 (UTC)strike sock.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:02, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
