Philippine delivery app company, subsidiary of redlinked Thai company. Fails WP:GNG; WP:NCORP. Article fails to establish notability, search returns ads, routine announcements. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:09, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Found some more coverage 1, 2, 3 about the company. Fifthapril (talk) 08:34, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Alex. I appreciate the help. I have adjusted the content and added the links you found online. I wasn't able to see them when I was conducting research for the company. Can you clarify what you mean by redlinked Thai company? As far as my research went for this company, i've seen nothing that says it is tied to a redlinked Thai company.

Delete - Of the sources above, this is an interview and everything relevant to the company came from quotes from a company representative. Remove what the company rep said, and there's nothing about the company; it's not an independent source. This is just a republishing of this press release and was written by the company itself in such an overtly non-neutral and self-congratulatory way that gave it away immediately that it was a press release. This is similarly an interview that consists entirely of "X said". The article fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. - Aoidh (talk) 17:14, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails WP:NCORP per nom. A WP:BEFORE shows a handful of interviews, including the ones presented by Fifthapril. SBKSPP (talk) 01:05, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! Thank you for helping me out on this. I have adjusted the content and added few more published news as reference in both the first and second paragraph. I added reference to ABSCBN, Business World, and Technode Global. These are I believe reputable news source locally and globally. Looking forward to your feedback.

This comes from a press release and everything relevant in the source is attributed to the company (e.g. "Transportify Philippines on Friday said..."). Textbook churnalism and not independent coverage. This is a press release and is not shy about being overly promotional either. This is a press release. This doesn't actually appear to be a press release, but is a summary of the startup raising capital, which is routine coverage per Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Examples of trivial coverage. This is similar to the first link in that everything relevant about the company is taken from the company's press release (e.g., "Southeast Asian logistics firm Deliveree announced..." and "Deliveree said in a statement..."). None of the sources recently added to the article help in establishing notability for the article's subject. - Aoidh (talk) 15:41, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
