There's currently a discussion ongoing on the  Talk page where the clear consensus is that the NCORP/NORG SNG is the guideline to follow and that this guideline adopts a stricter interpretation on sources that establish notability for companies/organizations. With that in mind, much of Timtempleton's arguments fall away. For example, Timtempleton lists four references above which are claimed to meet the criteria for notability for the reasons that they are ''independent, third party sources''. https://www.bizjournals.com/washington/blog/techflash/2016/02/need-something-notarized-virginia-startup-says-its.html This reference from BizJournals opens with ''An Arlington tech startup says'' and relies entirely on an interview/quotation with the CEO. Even by GNG standards, this in not "independent" and experienced editors who spend time at AfD are expected to know that an "independent source" doesn't just mean that the publisher is functionally and corporately separate from the topic company, but that the content is also Independent.  within CORP provides clarity on "Independent Content" to mean ''original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject''. This reference therefore fails ORGIND and GNG. https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/27/notarize-to-add-1000-online-notaries-to-address-demand-for-remote-transactions/ The TechCrunch reference suffers the same faults, the article starts with ''Notarize, the platform that enables digital notarizations, announced'' and the reference is clearly based on a company announcement and interview/quotations attributed to the CEO. This reference fails for the same reasons as the previous. https://news.crunchbase.com/news/e-doc-verifier-notarize-launches-competitor-to-docusign/ This Crunchbase reference is off the back of https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190611005742/en/Notarize-Announces-Free-eSignature-Product-Debuts-Comprehensive this announcement and fails for the exact same reasons as the previous two references. It contains no Independent Content. Finally, https://fortune.com/2016/06/13/notarize-iphone-notary-app/ this Fortune article is a classic churnalism profile piece, based on an interview with the CEO and also contain absolutely zero Independent Content. All four reference fail GNG (an "independent" reference doesn't just refer to no corporate links between the publisher and the topic company) and . I am unable to locate any reference that meets the criteria for establishing notability. (adding my sig late
