Deletion of UrbanClap (4th nomination)

Comment: a previous deletion nomination was made for this page only two weeks ago. It's disruptive to renominate after such a short time. It's a waste of the community's time. There's no reason to believe consensus will have shifted in two weeks time. The correct course of action in this situation is to open a |deletion review. It's not appropriate to renominate articles until you get the result you want. Wait a few months instead, or better yet, open a deletion review. In the mean time, this discussion should be speedily closed so as not to encourage this type of behavior

Comment: I had a good look at the sources and I'm sorry, but they do not satisfy . For example, http://www.firstpost.com/business/start-up-india-urbanclaps-focus-on-local-services-benefitting-both-customers-and-service-professionals-2584310.html the Firstpost source is ''entirely written by the co-founder''. And yet, we have people quoting it for notability (This points to a greater problem here - editors do not inspect the source. They just look at a source and think it is OK. I find this pretty bad because Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and we are supposed to hold stuff to an academic standard here. We definitely need to be sceptic about sources and analyse them carefully.) The sources in Times of India/Economic Times (all part of the same media group) are not useful either - they are either interviews of the founders or routine news about the company mergers/finances. http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/urbanclap-launches-initiative-to-curb-wastage-of-water-in-mumbai/article8479629.ece The Hindu businessline source is a very brief coverage with stuff like ''{{tq|Those who wish to avail themselves of this service can log on to the app, place a request for Save Water Mumbai, and they will be visited by trained plumbers from UrbanClap who will fix the leaking taps. The activity will run for a week, until Friday, April 22nd.}}'' - like someone didn't even bother to redress the press release. There is nothing here which substantially focuses on the company and explains why it is notable

Comment: we just did this.  Nothing has changed (as the nom and supporters acknowledge). We've got sources that meet  and a neutral article that isn't any form of advertising.  For more details, see my comments on the last AfD

Comment: my comments from the previous AfD still stand: "While the article does not have an obvious "promo vibe" to it, in this revised form it offers no indications of why this company is notable or significant. This is essentially A7 material, a brief corporate blurb. The sources offered (entrepreneur.com, Gadgets Now and Times of India), while secondary, are not reliable for establishing notability. Thus, the article still falls under  a promo, as the sole purpose of this article to exist is to promote the company. There's definitely no value to the general reader; it's simply a  listing among other unremarkable companies

Comment: The articles provided by {{user|Northamerica1000}} at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UrbanClap (3rd nomination) clearly demonstrate that the subject passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. For example, here is coverage from the ''First Post'' article: Roommates at IIT, Varun Khaitan and Abhiraj Bhal, had always wanted to solve a really big consumer problem in India by leveraging mobile technology. After graduating from IIT, Abhiraj went on to IIM Ahmedabad, while Varun joined Qualcomm as an engineer. Eventually, they both joined the Boston Consulting Group. While in the US, a common friend introduced them to Raghav Chandra, an engineer at Twitter who shared their vision.After returning to India, the three realised that the industry of local services had seen no innovation for at least a decade, and decided to focus on solving this problem. UrbanClap was launched in November 2014, in a tiny office at Bhikaji Cama Place in South Delhi, offering services in 5 categories and with 100 partners on board.The organisation grew rapidly as the team grew from 3 to 35 odd members and, by April 2015 UrbanClap raised $1.6 million in the seed round of funding, from SAIF Partners, Accel Partners and the founders of Snapdeal, Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal. At the time, the service offering had grown to 46 categories and 2000+ professionals were registered on its platform.Barely two months later, as UrbanClap expanded to other metropolitan cities in India, the company raised another $10 million, in Series A funding from its existing investors­ SAIF and Accel Partners. This discusses UrbanClap's foundation, history, and products in detail.The article from ''Entrepreneur (magazine)|Entrepreneur'' notes: Brainchild of IIT Kanpur alumni Varun Khaitan and Abhiraj Bhal, UrbanClap claims itself as the India’s largest marketplace for local services. Whether you are looking for a plumber, beautician, a yoga trainer or a wedding photographer, UrbanClap is a one stop destination for all local services.All you need to do is place your requirements on the UrbanClap app or website and within short span of time platform will bring these professionals to you.Headquartered in Gurgaon, this startup offers services in more than 75 categories across Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai and Pune.

This provides extensive coverage of UrbanClap's product.  is clearly met.I reviewed the current text of the article and do not find it promotional: '''UrbanClap''' is an India|Indian online service marketplace that connects customers to service professionals. The company was founded in 2014 and is is based out of Gurgaon, India. In December 2015, UrbanClap was servicing 5,000 requests from customers per day, and had a "base of over 20,000 service professionals" who provide labor for UrbanClap's users.As of 2016, UrbanClap has raised $37 million in funding from Bessemer Venture Partners, Accel Partners, SAIF Partners, Kunal Bahl, Rohit Bansal, and Ratan Tata.UrbanClap acquired HandyHome, a Mumbai-based after sales service platform in January 2016
