Comment: The tech crunch articles are written by reporters and seem legitimate to me. Is there something I am missing as to why these don't count as notable? The rest is a bunch of dead links and PR. Just would like to understand better before voting. FiddleheadLady (talk) 12:49, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- 1. TechCrunch is specifically listed at WP:RSP as "TechCrunch may be useful for satisfying verifiability, but may be less useful for the purpose of determining notability" - it's a startup boosterism outlet - and 2. it's all funding rounds, which are a mere numerical measure under WP:CORP and don't count toward notability - David Gerard (talk) 16:55, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
