Non-notable company that fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. The article appears to be a promotional article about a company that has received no non-press release coverage in independent secondary sources. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:03, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep: Independent secondary sources do exist to support Sequencing.com's inclusion as a notable company: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.97.161.50 (talk • contribs)
- Chicago Tribune source is the only major independent source, and it is not about the company, but about a person who went to the founder of the company. First world med is recycling the Yahoo Finance press release, Concierge Medicine is a press release, and the subsequent story isn't independent since they are in partnership. Final source is also a press release. The Genome Web source is the only one that gives in-depth coverage,
and it reads like a routine trade publication article when a new company is founded and sends out a press release.TonyBallioni (talk) 00:34, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

- Keep: Genome Web is the authoritative media outlet for genomics industry and they only cover notable industry news. Their coverage is several pages long and appears as an objective assessment of the company. The other articles appear supportive of notable company coverage although I understand your dismissiveness of First world med article. 207.97.161.50 (talk • contribs)
- merge to Brandon Colby; WP:TOOSOON. The only good source is the genomeweb article (and it is a good source). There is one other "independent" source, by freelancer Barbara Sadick (here) that was syndicated in a bunch of Tribune Publishing papers in June 2016. There is no encyclopedic content about the company that can be generated from it (it was nice marketing work though). So for now merge, and it can grow there and be SPLIT if that ever becomes necessary. Jytdog (talk) 02:38, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
- NB - the page as I found it here was a nightmare of press releases and other SPS refs. I cleaned it up and it looks like this now. Jytdog (talk) 04:08, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
