Fails WP:NCORP. Of the three references, one is about the founder's criminal charges with only a passing reference to the company, one is a clear press release, and the third is a dead link. LukeSurl t c 12:27, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I think you've undersold the first source in the article. It's not about the criminal charges with a passing reference to the company, it's about the company with a passing reference to the criminal charges. I agree that the second (and actually, if you archive.org it, the third) is a press release. Some other sources that aren't about the criminal charges: AdAge, CMO, Bloomberg, B&T, The Next Web.

  • Keep The article has now been comprehensively edited by Tokyogirl79 and as a result is significantly improved. You may wish to withdraw this Afd as it looks as if notability has been established.  Philg88 talk 14:10, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I've removed the mentions of the charges entirely and found a lot of sources. What helps it is that it's listed in a few books as being one of the earliest/first examples of its type. The TechCrunch links are pretty suspect, although I did keep one of them, but they're sort of notorious for just re-writing press releases for some of their articles.
