- Comment: While we can't delete something just because it's an advertisement, I do notice that some of the sources on the article are of dubious reliability. I also noticed that almost all of them are about the company's launch back in 2011. The Tech Crunch article is the most recent, being posted back in March and even then it's pretty much about the launch of the company more than anything else. There's quite a bit of coverage about the company's launch, but then to really show a depth of coverage we'll probably need something other than articles that report the company starting up.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:54, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- In any case, I've drastically revamped the article to remove the blatant promotional prose. It's still not perfect, but far improved over the previous version. As far as coverage goes, I'm noticing that apart from the coverage it got when it launched, the website has received no other coverage.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:54, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Joanne_Ooi#Plukka. Other than a spate of coverage about the company launching its website, there really isn't a depth of coverage here. Most of the articles were released around November/December, with only one site giving the website any notice beyond that point and even then it's just focusing on the launch of the company. It's just too soon to have an article for the company. Since one of the people who launched the website has a page here on Wikipedia, it'd be more appropriate to redirect it to her entry and add a brief paragraph on the company. After I removed all of the overly promotional prose, there's only about 1-2 paragraphs of actual data about the company.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:06, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I did a cleanup of Ooi's article in general and added information about her website. Now there is really no reason for there to be a separate article about the website. If it does gain more coverage later on, it can be re-added or un-redirected.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:37, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
