Deletion of Signal Alliance

Comment: I didn't write the policies and guidelines but they're very simple to interpret. If I could find a reference that meets the criteria for establishing notability, I would already have linked to it here but unfortunately, not one of the articles (Nigerian press or otherwise) I've read meets the criteria for establishing notability - they have all been based on Press Releases/announcements/interviews/alliances/partner announcements/etc. Notably, not one of the Keep !voters has disagreed with my analysis of any of the references. Can you point to a reference that you believe meets the criteria for establishing notability and meets ? You say that you are familiar with the way local media houses cover significant companies - but you cannot point to a reference that is intellectually independent??? We have policies and guidelines for a reason and the onus is on the editors here to understand those policies and guidelines and to interpret them without bias or favour. It is notable that you say you are leaning towards the responses of Ammarpad - yet Ammarpad did not understand that articles must be intellectually independent in order to be considered to meet the criteria for notability

Comment: Actually DGG I think you have high bar for organizations.These organizations from developing nations can not have similar coverage like any startup might get in the US or Europe. Moreover this company is two times winner of competitive Microsoft Certified Partner award, apart from the Cisco award and other recognitions which are well reported in notable and reputable Nigerian papers https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/07/signal-alliance-mainone-win-microsoft-partners-award/, https://www.businessdayonline.com/signal-alliance-recognised-ciscos-2016-winner-circle/ and http://punchng.com/signal-alliance-gets-ciscos-recognition/ all these satisfy many points of . Second  and  require independent or reliable sources and this article met this criteria: for the 9 sources used only 2 didn't have Wikipedia article, the rest are reputable papers and their reportages cannot be dismissed as a PR by a wave of hand..

Comment: None of the references are intellectually independent and therefore do not meet the criteria for establishing notability. The "awards" are run-of-the mill vendor awards with no significance whatsoever towards notability. The references fail  and/or . Article fails GNG and

Comment: None* of those references meet the criteria for establishing notability. They are either produced by the company, based on company announcements and Press Releases, or produced by affiliated companies or collaborators. None are intellectually independent and they all fail  and/or . While {{u|Ammarpad}} has disagreed with just about everything that has been said to him to date, his focus on  fails to take into account  and/or  and to date, has failed to address any concerns with reference to these guidelines and fails to understand why PR and company announcements - even if published in |reliable secondary sources - can fail other criteria

Comment: Two points. The first - this article isn't about Sasware which a completely different company - its not even mentioned in this article! Second, that reference is a company announcement, therefore not intellectually independent and fails  and cannot be used as a reference to establish notability
