At first glance it looks Ok, but when you look deeper almost all sources are bad or primary, such as interviews, articles with too many quotations, press releases and announcements, a few SEC filings and routine news about ELon Musk buying a unit Darkm777 (talk) 00:46, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete Agree with the nominator's assessment. Several citations primarily discuss Elon Musk’s alleged purchase of a unit, which he later denied on Twitter, making their accuracy questionable. The remaining sources include SEC filings, routine news coverage, announcement, press releases, etc. Yolandagonzales (talk) 08:33, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep - Very promotional in tone and likely UPE, but it is notable with references like these which meet WP:ORGCRIT. Needs stripped of the press releases, social media references, and churnalism if anyone is willing to perform the WP:HEY. --CNMall41 (talk) 03:04, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - Agree with CNMall41 that is is promotional and likely UPE. A few references mentioned seem OK, but most references are passing mentions, press releases, churnalism. Mysecretgarden (talk) 08:20, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Boxabl does not meet WP:ORGCRIT or WP:GNG. Most sources are press releases, SEC documents or small news without deep information. Many talk about Elon Musk, but WP:INHERITORG says this kind of celebrity link is not enough to be notable. The article looks promotional and COI problems. Pridemanty (talk) 12:23, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. A number of citations used in this article do not meet WP:RS[1][2] and include references to the subject's own website, along with links to Elon Musk's X account.[3] desmay (talk) 16:08, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- A "number" are also WP:CORPDEPTH which meet WP:ORGCRIT. Please tell me why the three sourced provided above in my !Keep vote would not meet those standards. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:56, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - Very strange that no one voting !Delete is able to refute the sources I provided. No comment on the voting history as of yet but would ask closing admin to look closely at the edit history of this AfD. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:55, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Businessinsider is behind a paywall so I cannot confirm that is a good source. News Journal is mostly quotations and would be considered unreliable. SF Examiner is not too in-depth. However, even considering that 2 of these might be OK, we still need more than 2 good sources to establish notability. Mysecretgarden (talk) 19:00, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:TNT. I've been consistent about HEY for the past few years: a person claiming that sources exist has to do the work to add them to the page. Between the November 2024 citation drive, and my current project assessing every Law-stub, I've rescued dozens of articles in the past five months. When a major claim of the article is refuted, fairly and honestly or not, then it needs more work than ordinary editing. Bearian (talk) 04:35, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- I appreciate the comment about people not performing HEY. If you take a look at my work with Wikiproject Companies you will know I don't just make a claim unless it can be supported. I think I would partially agree about TNT, although AfD isn't cleanup. I stubified and sourced it, and a WP:BEFORE can be done to see the other references that meet WP:CORPDEPTH. On a normal day I would have recommended G11 but the voting in this AfD prior to yours raised my eyebrows. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:15, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
