• Weak keep I see some reliable sources, such as The Hindu Business Line, The Economic Times, Business Standard India, and The New Indian Express, have covered various facets of the company. --Mozzcircuit (talk) 08:40, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
• Weak keep As well as the sources mentioned by Mozzcircuit, IndiaFilings has also been covered by The Times of India. Some of the sources in the article seem a little promotional/frivolous, especially the paywalled Economic Times articles, but generally I think this company has just about enough significant reliable coverage to warrant an article, unless non-independence of sources can be proven. pinktoebeans ^(talk) 14:02, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

  The Times of India source is basically the press release from [1] with some VERY minor changes. If this had been pasted into an article here, it would have been reverted and rev-deleted as a copyright violation. It's published on TOI, but it's just a press release.

• Delete. Does not meet WP:CORP. There are zero WP:SIRS sources meeting WP:CORPDEPTH. I checked all in the article (including the ones I removed because they didn't verify attached claims) and did a cursory BEFORE to seek others. The only potential ATD would be a one-sentence merge to DBS Bank#India, but that may be UNDUE. —siroχo 23:48, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
• Delete. There is no coverage outside of routine announcements, publicity and press, interviews, etc. I believe it's not suitable for inclusion at this point in time. Alpha3031 (t • c) 10:15, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
• Keep Looks Clears the bar of WP:CORP, WP:SIRS and WP:CORPDEPTH. Here are some sources I have found- 1. The Hindu. 2. Economic Times. 3. New Indian Express. 4. Economic Times. 5. New Indian Express. 6. Economic Times.Bekujoq (talk) 09:04, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

• Delete agree with source analysis - all coverage reads as a press release. BrigadierG (talk) 23:27, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
• Delete based on the source table above. Most of the sources look like press-release stuff. Oaktree b (talk) 00:48, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
• Delete All PR sourcing, fails ORGIND/NCORP/GNG. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:54, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
• Delete: per source analysis table by Siroxo. Looks PR sourcing.❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️) 09:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
• {{vd}} based on the source analysis and my review of the sources. Too much fluff, not much actual stuff from an independent secondary source. The original work feels like WP:UPE. Ravensfire (talk) 21:50, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
