Appears to be promotional and its only source is the official website (thereby not being verifiable due to being a self-published source). Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBRAND. WP:BEFORE check failed to bring up anything of note. Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 19:56, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete the article is hopelessly promotional. Vexations (talk) 20:37, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This page was created by me - I have no affiliations to the company. It was made because the company is expanding in the market, discussed frequently on social medias such as YouTube and demonstrates a sustainable approach. Since the nomination for deletion, I have removed unnecessary excessive praise for the company and sourced secondary articles and continue to do so. I published the page, with the intention to add further information on reviewing. This is allowed into consideration for improving rather than deleting an article, as the article was recently created and more time could be allowed to develop the article WP:BEFORE.

    discussed frequently on social medias such as YouTube is not a notability criterion that any notability guide endorses. It is worth noting in the AfD that the company has been running an influencer campaign in YouTube with product giveaways. The YouTube coverage is not "organic", but paid for. We should almost never accept YouTube as a source, but ESPECIALLY not in this case.Vexations (talk) 13:18, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete G11 level spam sourced to primary sources and press releases. To be fair, there is one reliable independent source here... which ranked it 69/100 in a list of 100 notebooks. Not exactly an indication of encyclopedic notability. Spicy (talk) 15:00, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
