- Keep. The first reference is from The Straits Times, the newspaper of record in Singapore, and the rest seem fine to me, whether or not they have a paywall. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 07:29, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- I have access to it and have read it. All the references to the subject are neither independent nor deep enough. Here is the typical coverage from The Straits Times, a source you mentioned: Mr Pawel Kuznicki, 29, director of P2P platform Capital Match, says: "It's more accurate to say that crowdlending is leveraging on technology to service smaller clients which banks may not be able to.

- Being a "newspaper of record" might be helpful in determining whether a source is reliable, but does nothing to determine whether the content contains in-depth Independent Content and meets NCORP criteria. The "rest" seeming "fine" also doesn't have any bearing on GNG/NCORP criteria - which ones in particular (page/paragraph) contains content that meets the criteria? HighKing++ 17:15, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

- Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "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. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 17:15, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, coverage completely fails the independence standards set out by NCORP, with sources based around what the company says rather than secondary independent analysis. JoelleJay (talk) 22:33, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
