I see no indication this is a notable publication/journal, and in fact, I see no evidence that it is a legitimate one and it appears, at least currently to be some sort of black-hat SEO type site masquerading as legitimate journalism. There is virtually no independent coverage of the site and it's only real claim to anything is a notable journalist having possibly worked there once. CUPIDICAE💕 19:06, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I came to the same conclusion as Praxidicae. Something is very strange about this website. If you navigate to it, it's filled with a ton of cruft that you would not expect in any kind of serious business journalism. The article itself is written with a promotional tone, and none of the sources in the article go towards demonstrating the subject's notability (i.e. they're not reliable, secondary sources whose primary subject is this publication).

I also discovered after filing this that the company is owned by an Indian SEO firm called "ASTNT Technologies Pvt Ltd" and it has since been globally blacklisted. I don't believe this was ever a "real" media outlet in the true sense of the word but its definitely not notable. CUPIDICAE💕 19:24, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I went to the website and the first two "articles" are about Jason Momoa and the artist who played Loki in the Marvel movies. This almost looks like a clickbait site. Nothing notable about this. Oaktree b (talk) 02:21, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
