Article fails notability, and notability (organizations and companies) guidelines, and the primary contributor has a conflict of interest. Company is not a significant company, but an Atlanta-based Startup and the page is written as a corporate resume. A reference list is included, but individual article components are unreferenced, making independent verification of article tedious. Article's most active editor was User:SalesLoft, but that editor is an unregistered user and was likely a paid editor or employee. Article was nominated for speedy deletion in 2012 for failing WP:CORP and WP:GNG, but banner was removed by an unregistered user/IP address. Absent significant editing to make the article objective and properly referenced, I propose deletion. Stiche1775 (talk) 18:43, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and get an admin to topic ban User:SalesLoft. This needs a major rewrite, which I will start, but it is actually notable, searches came up with good sources. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 22:19, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as I found some decent sources for this article. Business Insider and entrepreneur.com both have articles for this company. Sheepythemouse (talk) 22:56, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as my searches are finding nothing noticeably better. SwisterTwister talk 06:00, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep but add tags - there are plenty of sources and it is notable. But the article itself needs to be severely improved. DaltonCastle (talk) 22:41, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
