The article doesn't meet the notability criteria for inclusion as per WP:COMPANY. The sources are press releases such as reference #2 i.e. "Craftsvilla ropes in Manish Kalra from Amazon" returning same press releases[1]. Allahomora(talk) 14:23, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

- It seems the Press Trust of India might provides press release service[2]. All these sources are simply press-releases by the company. For example, take any sources such as this[3] Economic Times source which seems reliable but if you make a simple Google search on Google India with the news title i.e. "Lendingkart joins hands with Craftsvilla.com for loans to its sellers" you will get tons of these press-release from variety of sources[4].

- The Press Trust of India notwithstanding, look closely and notice how in your example, though, that the only legitimate articles from the second link you post above are from the source itself, The Economic Times. The remainder are unreliable sources that have copied the content from the reliable source article, quite likely without permission. When unreliable sources copy content from reliable ones, that does not then render the reliable source as a press release or unreliable whatsoever. The same holds true for other sources I posted (see examples below). These are certainly not press releasees by the company. North America1000 07:07, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Relisting comment: I know a third relist is unusual, and I know North America's presentation of sources was 11 days ago, but I'd still like to see those sources get better scrutiny before closing this. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:14, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

- Comment - The sources above are simply expected coverage and thus are solidly the expected better coverage that is needed. It's worth noting this is a common situation with these Indian companies, there's not always the sufficiently solid enough coverage. SwisterTwister talk 23:53, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comment – I question whether or not you actually read the articles I posted, and "expected coverage" is quite ambiguous and subjective as a rationale for deletion of a Wikipedia article. Prior to the comment you posted above at 23:53 (diff), you provided an !vote at other discussions at 23:49 (diff) and 23:51 (diff). Did you actually open and read the articles I posted above in two or less minutes? Many of the articles I posted above provide quite detailed background, history and information about the company.

- Considering the situation with relists, I'm asking DGG for his analysis as I know he's always willing to help at troubled AfDs. SwisterTwister talk 05:51, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- @SwisterTwister: Not to be brash, but when you ping specific editors who have not contributed to the article or discussion, it comes across as potential canvassing, particularly because you and DGG often share the same general and overall opinions about company articles, that many of them should be deleted. North America1000 06:03, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- Check the records, When ST asks me for comment, I agree with his view only about half the time. I disagree 1/4,and have only a comment or not comment at all for the other 25%. DGG ( talk ) 18:28, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- Northamerica1000 I will be frank, if you have nothing but to criticize every single comment of mine with tossed comments, it's WP:HOUNDING. I ask you before to please distance yourself from me about that, and yet you have continued after I asked you to stop. As for pinging, I have by far explained this and have absolutely no need to explain again. SwisterTwister talk 07:22, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

- For the record and anyone else interested, I'll save DGG the moment to respond, he has explicitly mentioned he asks to be notified. SwisterTwister talk 08:08, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- I wasn't aware that DGG asks to be pinged. Thanks for the clarification. North America1000 09:25, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
