Notability is not justified from the available references. Created by a paid/banned user. Fails WP:GNG, WP:NCORP. Covert advertising. Multiple attempts of removing COI templates. DMySon (talk) 09:58, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The original creator is not relevant. I rewrote the article based on sources. My new version was reverted with no clear explanation and no discussion in talk page. I brought back my version, so that we can discuss the updated version. Now to the company notability, I agree this isn't the biggest company but it has raised $20M [1] and acquired another company [2] and was featured in big websites, including TechCrunch [3]. I think this article is better than not having it, it stayed in Wikipedia for years and I just improved it, and if there are specific issues, they can be discussed and fixed.

Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply.

Assuming all the sources are reliable (except if obviously not such as a Blog or social media) and the publishers are corporately independent from the topic organization - but there's more requirements than that for establishing notability.
As per WP:SIRS each reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability - the quantity of coverage is irrelevant, there can be 100 references but for the purposes of establishing notability we only require a minumum of two that each meet the criteria
WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content".
"Independent content", 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 usually the criteria where most references fail. References cannot rely only on information provided by the company, quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews fail ORGIND. Whatever is left over must also meet CORPDEPTH.

Not a single reference either mentioned above or in the article meet the criteria. Everything relies on information provided by the company and I'm unable to find any "Independent Content". Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 16:29, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with GM Voices: I think that GM Voices should be merged with this page. Ideally GM Voices redirects here and becomes a section on this page. This would give this page the heft and notability it needs and redirecting / merging this page with GM Voices would be odd given that BLEND is the owner of GM Voices.
