Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Forever (website) (2nd nomination)
As I still confirm my delete above, given how this is still a blatant misuse of Wikipedia as a business listing: {{Tq|Forever claims to be the only photo cloud service that guarantees permanence—storing your photos securely and with data protection “through good times and bad”—but recent events have shown that cybercrime can happen on even the most secure systems. There is no real guarantee of permanence in the digital world. Perhaps the more serious drawback, we think, is the user experience}}, {{Tq|Forever guarantees customers who buy “permanent sharable storage” that their photos and memories will be saved for their lifetimes plus 100 years with the goal of many generations beyond....The company can make this guarantee because a large portion of the money customers pay for “permanent storage” is deposited into the Forever Guarantee Fund, a restricted fund that acts like a permanent endowment or reserve, with earnings paying for storage, bandwidth, and migration to new file formats for generations into the future}} (Note all of this is clear brochure-content, and thus ikipedia is not a business listing applies because the '''policy''' itself says: Wikipedia is not the place for such simple information as YellowPages, company services, etc. {{Tq|Forever rolled out new features last week, including a website redesign and an app that allows customers to design and print special products. Forever has 30,000 active users and expects to reach 50,000 by year's end, Meakem said}}, {{Tq|Six months after its May 2012 founding, the company closed a $9 million round of Series A financing funded at least partially through Meakem Becker. One month later, it opened for business in a gleaming Downtown office space on the 20th floor of One PPG Place.}} {{Tq|What's unique about Forever is that it not only has the lifetime plus 100-year guarantee, but it also promises to upgrade what its customers save to the latest technology, so it'll be accessible no matter what format is popular or current at a particular time in history}}, {{Tq|Founder and CEO of Forever, entrepreneur Glen Meakem, took a chance in 2012 with a start-up that had the potential to revolutionize the way people store their most personal data — their family photos, videos, memories — ultimately, their legacies. His idea was to create a secure, reliable online cloud-based storage system that would keep a user's photos, documents, videos and more accessible for a lifetime, plus 100 years, to ensure future generations could access them as well. Next the comments are not based in policy at all and they are simply suggestive guidelines.}} All of this has the same blatant consistency of "Company has to say this or that", "Company CEO shares his ideas", "Company shares their funding and finances", All of that blatantly still violates the policy ikipedia is not a business listing. If this is honestly the best we have, it's simply republished materials, and that itself violates  since that itself says materials must not be press releases or similar. Any article that is closely focused with what the company advertised at its own website is clearly not independent, because no one but the company itself would say it. Next, all of the sources are clear publications, such as a radio station, which are known for simply airing whatever commercials the company wants, and that itself still violates  since it's not a significant source. ''As it is'', this company is based in Pittsburgh, so it's only obvious that their local publication would advertise a local business, as all of them choose, and thus also violates  since it says such news stories are not notable-causing. The basis of "The article is still notable since the last AfD" is not acceptable because we've always renominated articles and there's no policy against it. ''Next'', each article above is from each company financial quarter, not a consistent flow of coverage (see above, January 2016, January 2016, September 2016) so it's not even satisfying  either since it's not consistent, so that emphasizes the fact it was simply to motivate their own advertising
