Sources do not meet the criteria for establishing notability. PROD notice removed with no reasoning. -- HighKing++ 15:51, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Hi HighKing, CrateDB is gaining importance in the database tech scene. I had launched the page some years ago as it is a late success within a regional open source initiative, which I was involved in 2006. Several people have edited the article, and I did an update today. I was deleting the delete notice because the info I got says: "You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary". A summary of the edit update has been provided. I can guarantee that this article is not paid and I am not having any relation with CRATE. I know one of the founders (who was also active in the open source initiative in 2006), and when I interviewed him I paid the coffee myself. I can try to find more references for usage of this open source database technology, e.g. download statistics. Rasos (talk) 17:50, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Rasos, there's pretty clear criteria on acceptable sources to establish notability such as WP:N and WP:ORGIND/WP:CORPDEPTH sections especially. To date, the sources you've added do not meet the criteria. -- HighKing++ 12:14, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep: I think the sources in the article confirming Crate Data funding satisfy WP:GNG, although I'd like to see more quality sources describing the technology itself. Also the article is reasonably written and not spammy, unlike so many other obscure product articles. -- intgr [talk] 22:24, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi intgr, I've looked at the funding articles. Sources should be seen as intellectually independent. The TechCrunch article fails WP:ORGIND since the information is provided by the company and the article relies almost completely on quotations from company officers or company-provided details. The Finsmes articles are News Releases from the company or VC firm announcing a deal so they also fail the criteria for establishing notability. -- HighKing++ 12:14, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Hi HighKing, I'm with Crate, and thanks for raising these issues. There are quite a lot of recent references to CrateDB, that should be added to the page. Can you please postpone the deletion process and give us time to find a community member willing to freely update the page with references like the following? I believe they meet the guidelines you mentioned...quality sources and also very fair and detailed descriptions of the technology:
