Non-notable startup, created by an SPA that added spam links about the company around the encyclopedia in an attempt to promote it. The coverage of this article is your standard startup press coverage: non-notable awards, one-liners mentioning its use, coverage on industry blogs, and listings of products. These either don't meet the coverage expected under WP:CORPDEPTH or excluded as counting towards notability by WP:SPIP. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:57, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Is "Write yourself a WP article" now part of the standard start-up checklist, along with registering a domain and printing business cards? Andy Dingley (talk) 09:11, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately, it seems so. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:20, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Coseer is an established startup in the cognitive computing space, and has garnered enough real press coverage over the past five years to be considered notable. Current citations reference credible third party publications. A google search also reveals many third party links that have not yet been added to the page, including the following: https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2015/02/09/michael-harries/ http://www.govtech.com/civic/GSA-Hackathon-Sought-Tangible-AI-Solutions-for-Making-Government-Data-Accessible-Via-Personal-Assistant.html http://www.kmworld.com/Articles/Editorial/Features/ECM-preparing-for-the-future-111271.aspx https://www.techemergence.com/how-cognitive-computing-can-change-the-nature-of-business-operations-a-conversation-with-praful-krishna/ https://www.ceocfointerviews.com/interviews/Coseer16.htm The founder is a regular on the AI conference circuit. There is no funding information, but that should not be a criterion for notability. CognitiveAI (talk) 04:50, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- For anyone else who comes along: the first source provided is a company blog. The second source is a mention in an article about someone else and then a quote from an employee. The third source I can't access (doesn't give a valid page). The fourth is a podcast interview with the employee of the company, so its a non-independent primary source. The fifth is an interview with CEO/CFO magazine with the CEO, which again, is a non-independent primary source. This is the type of coverage this startup receives, and like all other startups that receive virtually identical types of coverage, it does not amount to notability under WP:N when the guideline is read as a whole.

- Original references in the article are all reputable third party sources. They do have quotes and interviews from the founder, but are still independent, and difficult for the startup to sway. http://thesiliconreview.com/magazines/magazine_profile.php?id=82 - http://cfi.co/awards/north-america/2017/coseer-best-intelligent-workflow-technology-united-states-2016/ - https://cognitive-solutions.cioreview.com/vendor/2017/coseer - Pasting the links from KMWorld below again. They can also be accessed by going to Kmworld.com and searching Coseer. http://www.kmworld.com/Articles/Editorial/Features/ECM-preparing-for-the-future-111271.aspx - http://www.kmworld.com/Articles/Editorial/Features/Text-analytics-and-beyond-111925.aspx?PageNum=2 - http://www.kmworld.com/Articles/Editorial/Features/KM-and-the-environment---Water-management-uses-analytics-big-data-and-collaboration-to-handle-complexity.-118371.aspx?PageNum=3 - Visit https://coseer.com/blog/category/events-and-mentions/, which catalogs the startup's press coverage and events. There are 27 different entries, way more coverage than a non-notable startup would receive. Assuming this is a bootstrapped startup, the amount of coverage generated is reasonably significant.
