Disputed notability

@DBigXray: Please explain why you are disputing the notability of the subject of this article. The subject of this article fulfils all criteria mentioned at WP:ORGCRITE.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 13:49, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Vaibhavafro, can you list the sources below, that you are basing your comment on ? DBigXrayᗙ 14:13, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

@DBigXray: Ok, sure:-

• The Times of India, which is either the largest or the second-largest English newspaper in the world, published a report.([1])

• Asian News International report which was republished by The Times of India ([2]), India Today ([3]) and NDTV ([4]).

• BloombergQuint published one.([5])

• CNBC TV18 published two reports.([6])([7])

• Jane's Defence Weekly published one.([8])

• The Financial Express published two reports([9],[10]), but I consider this news agency to be medium-quality as compared to the above ones.

That's a total of six high-quality reports and two medium-quality reports over a period of less than five months, which I am aware of.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 14:42, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Note: A start-up in a US metropolis will require a lot more quality-sources for establishing notability than a start-up in a poor country like India. (per WP:MULTSOURCES) Therefore, I think I have enough sources to establish the notability of this article.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 15:19, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Important note: This article was previously accepted by a new page reviewer, when I submitted it for AFC.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 17:15, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Another report was published by The New Indian Express last year ([11]). This takes the total to seven high-quality reports and two medium-quality reports. With this, I am fully confident that WP:ORGCRITE is fulfilled.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 17:27, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Note: Another report just dropped from The Economic Times ([12]), which takes the total to eight high-quality reports and two medium-quality reports.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 07:30, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Note: Another Financial Express report ([13]) just dropped by. This takes the total to eight high-quality reports and three medium-quality reports.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 20:00, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

We need multiple sources, and we have 2. It may barely be passing. But I think, if it manages to get government contract more sources will be available, though that is doubtful. Accordingly I will remove the notability tag for now. DBigXrayᗙ 20:28, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
