Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Profile Defenders (2nd nomination)
I disagree with a  deletion because https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Profile_Defenders&oldid=743701821 the first version of the article is a short, acceptable version that can be reverted to if there is consensus against https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Profile_Defenders&oldid=991207223 the current version.The coverage in ''The Columbus Dispatch'', ''Vice (magazine)|Vice'', and ''The Washington Post'' are sufficient to establish notability per Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). The sources include quotes from the subject but also include independent analysis and negative coverage.https://www.dispatch.com/article/20120820/NEWS/308209764 ''The Columbus Dispatch'' article includes negative coverage of Profile Defenders: "Sometimes, these online-reputation firms can get a bad rap themselves. Last month, Park Avenue Funding, a New York mortgage-investment firm, filed a suit against Profile Defenders alleging company was using confidential information to extort money from it and damage its online reputation. Ruddie, of Profile Defenders, said “the lawsuit filed by PAF is frivolous and based on assertions without merit.”"https://www.vice.com/en/article/pgkm5m/want-to-remove-a-google-result-file-a-trumped-up-lawsuit The ''Vice'' article casts Profile Defenders' work in a negative light: "Linked to at least some of the cases is a selection of companies run by a Richart Ruddie, including SEO Profile Defense Network LLC, and Profile Defenders. Profile Defenders specialises in 'online reputation management,' according to its website. In short, these companies and others are allegedly carrying out a pretty novel tactic to clean up content that would reflect negatively on its clients: filing fake lawsuits to encourage websites or online services to remove content
