notability not established, all sources derived from press releases. sources from reputable media like WSJ, Forbes are isolated and do not cover the subject in depth. Blogs like Disrupt Africa are pay to publish. Ysangkok (talk) 17:34, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename to AZA Group: The sources in the article are reliable, except the ones from Disrupt Africa. I also found a few more reliable sources which talk about the activities of the company: [1], [2] and [3]. That said, the article is good enough to pass WP:NCORP.

Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of 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. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. The links posted above by Astig are all based on company announcements, fails ORGIND. Topic fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 22:24, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
