The result was delete. Fails notability. I checked out Anupmehra's sources, and agree with EricEnfermero that they are mostly press releases. If somebody thinks they can find sufficient independent reliable sources to establish notability, I'll be happy to move it to your user space for you to work on. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:31, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to have the same issue that led to a previous deletion of the entry: This organization just does not receive significant independent coverage at this point. Yourstory.com is self-described as "India’s no.1 media platform for entrepreneurs." EricEnfermero ^HOWDY! 05:24, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- Subject meets Wikipedia notability guideline for companies and organizations. I've found following sources that suggest notability of the subject, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] and [8]. These sources have substantial enough coverage of the subject to satisfy WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. However, there must be some more sources left untouched by me. The article requires rewriting and expansion, not deletion. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 06:21, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And, if kept, should be moved to Catalyzer startup accelerator. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 06:23, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Of the eight sources, seven appear to be self-published (mostly press release-type material) and the eighth source doesn't mention Catalyzer as far as I can tell. EricEnfermero ^HOWDY! 06:40, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

delete - lacks independent sources to assert notability. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:16, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
delete as lacking independent sourcing and/or WP:TOOSOON. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:26, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Anupmehra has brought up numerous third party RS thus invalidating this AfD, please do not disregard those because they have not been added to the article. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 21:56, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete My read on the "numerous third party RS" provided by Anupmehra and mentioned by Valoem is that they are almost entirely press releases. I'm a bit shocked that wasn't obvious, in fact. --j⚛e decker ^talk 23:03, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment they are not all pr some of them are i saw that but this [9] seems ok and this [10]. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 00:11, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On its About Us page, Yourstory.com describes "a singular passion - to tell the world your story and to enable your story!" There is even a link where companies can request to be covered. The other reference mentions an entity with a similar name, but it doesn't seem to be the same company. EricEnfermero ^HOWDY! 01:38, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One of the two is an interview, the other is authored by a fellow at the venture capital firm behind Catalyst. [11] I'm not seeing either source as independent. --j⚛e decker ^talk 20:08, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
