Notability. Another startup with a promotional {{spa}} Wikionearth account building an article, another one adding links to it, but a real lack of the truly independent sources we require. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:29, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I couldn't really find any coverage. There were two fairly promotional articles in the sources (which I weren't able to find normally for some reason), but the Code with Coffee one is just a republication of the Web Design Ledger one. When I googled for their name, I foremost found other stuff. Even just "Mybridge" (without space inbetween) gave such results. The most notable and covered Mybridge seemed to be MyBridge Radio. The amount of Twitter followers they have is dubious, as it's gotten popular these days to simply purchase followers by the dekaton. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 01:50, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article has publications with Web Design Ledger and Product Hunt. Searching on Duckduckgo, Yahoo, Bing or Baidu places Mybridge first or superior rank. According to TwitterAudit, the report shows 99% of Mybridge's followers are real [1]. Cristinaboz (talk) 02:26, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I looked into who are following Mybridge and it's a bunch of Twitter SPAs who posted a few tweets on April 23 2015: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Mind you I just scrolled down a bit and got a bunch of people without skipping any. This was all there was. The first ones at the top of the list tend to be actual ones because of a bit of gaming of the system. The profile pictures seemed to be stolen from regular Twitter accounts as I reverse searched a few of the images. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 02:42, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The 6 "unpopular" accounts linked in your argument does not seem to constitute any evidence whether Mybridge is fake or it purchased fake accounts. Having searched "Mybridge" on Twitter[2], we can see there are numerous mentions from "popular" accounts and we can also see there are 4 accounts concerning Mybridge.Cristinaboz (talk) 02:57, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I have re-checked it with regard to Notability. Mybridge (application) comes out 1st in various keyword rankings related to Technology on Apple Store -- "Web developers", "Web developers news", "Web designers news", etc. [3] Therefore I stand by my edits and this page should stay on Wikipedia for the public to learn more about it. --Wikionearth (talk) 03:39, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As of 16 March 2016, MyBridge is 6th result on the keyword "Web Developers." This doesn't support notability. Even this seems quite narrow, as MyBridge is not in the top results for "Web Developer" or "Web Development." Chris vLS (talk) 16:40, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. Blythwood (talk) 05:48, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: WP:GNG not met. That Mybridge has an SEO-oriented arm, which has a similar twitteraudit "genuine" user profile, makes the SPA arguments highly questionable at best. ~~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~~ 08:39, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per failure of WP:WEB. Mybridge has not been the subject of multiple non-trivial, non-self published sources (Twitter posts can not be used as references, so those listed are void per violation of self-publication; additionally, the Mybridge website is also self-published, which means this reference is also inapplicable. When looking at the remaining sources, none seem notable enough to qualify as non-trivial, which, in essence, leaves this article unsourced). In addition, neither the website itself or any of its content has won an award from a well-known independent organization (again, well known is key here; we can't just take anything written on the internet as a reliable source). This evidence, combined with the alleged interference provided by sock puppets throughout the article's history and this deletion discussion, render Mybridge viable for deletion per WP:WEB, WP:COI, WP:GNG, and WP:IRS.

  • Delete No sign of notability. Without getting into the source status of Product Hunt, the Product Hunt entry doesn't rise to indicate notability. Without getting into the source status of Web Design Ledger, and while the Web Design Ledger article is positive, it doesn't make any claims that MyBridge is notable. The Code with Coffee is just a re-print of the Web Design Ledger article. The BuiltWith reference is just a probe of the domain. So, no sources found indicating notability.
