Does not meet the requirements of WP:CORP. There are sources recommending the product, but very little discussing it from a neutral and reliable viewpoint. Dajasj (talk) 10:10, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree with the nomination for deletion and believe that Daily Drop meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for organizations (WP:CORP) due to significant coverage in independent, reliable sources and its demonstrated influence in the travel industry.

1. Independent, Reliable Coverage in Major Publications

Wikipedia’s notability guidelines require substantial coverage in independent, secondary sources. Daily Drop has been featured in multiple well-established publications, which provide independent discussions of the platform, including:

Forbes – Discussed Daily Drop’s approach to travel deals and strategies for maximizing travel rewards. (Source)
Business Insider – Covered the platform’s role in helping users find affordable travel. (Source)
Thrillist – Recognized Daily Drop in an article about the best travel deals and cheap flights. (Source)
9to5Mac – Included Daily Drop in its list of the best modern travel apps for iOS. (Source)

These articles discuss Daily Drop's impact on the travel rewards space, not just in passing, but in detail, indicating independent recognition and notability.

2. Industry Impact and Influence

Daily Drop has a large, engaged audience, with over 1.4 million subscribers to its daily newsletter. It has established itself as a widely cited authority in frequent flyer communities, financial media, and travel rewards circles. Its influence extends beyond its own platform, with industry experts referencing its content on credit card rewards, airline miles, and hotel loyalty programs.

3. Comparable Notable Wikipedia Pages

Daily Drop is comparable in scope to other notable travel rewards platforms that already have Wikipedia pages, including:

The Points Guy – Covers travel rewards, credit card strategies, and frequent flyer programs.
AwardWallet – A travel tool focused on managing loyalty program points.

Both The Points Guy and AwardWallet provide similar editorial content and have received independent media coverage. Daily Drop has been featured in similar high-quality sources, making its notability on par with these established Wikipedia entries.

4. Willingness to Improve the Article

I understand concerns about tone and neutrality. If specific sections appear promotional, I welcome constructive feedback and will edit the language to be more factual while retaining verifiable information.

Given the multiple independent sources, significant subscriber base, comparable Wikipedia-approved pages, and influence in the travel rewards industry, I believe Daily Drop meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for companies and organizations (WP:NCORP) and should be kept.

Rather than deletion, I encourage constructive improvements to the article, ensuring it aligns with Wikipedia’s neutrality and reliability standards. Bis310 (talk) 14:30, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You did not show willingness to write a reply in this discussion, and instead used AI, so why should we believe the part about "Willingness to Improve the Article"? Geschichte (talk) 11:33, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Dude, your Business Insider source is actually a reprinted press release, not independent coverage. The Forbes link above only mentions Daily Drop in passing, and Thrillist does not appear to even mention it at all. The other sources in the article are also not significant coverage – a couple are affiliate link posts on random blogs clearly advertising the site, not reliable independent sources! The article is a violation of WP:Promo and lacks GNG-passing sources. This is not the case for your WP:OSE links. Reywas92^Talk 19:23, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are solid GNG-passing sources that show Daily Drop meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines. Talking Biz News covered the hiring of Benji Stawski from CNBC, showing third-party media recognition. The Points Guy published an independent review analyzing Daily Drop Pro’s features and value, while Intentional Travelers provided a detailed, non-promotional review. Tourist to Local also included it in an industry comparison, discussing its features, pricing, and competitors. These aren’t just passing mentions—they provide critical analysis of Daily Drop’s services. Instead of deleting the page entirely, I suggest removing non-independent or promotional WP:OSE links and improving the article as needed. Given the strong independent coverage, Daily Drop meets WP:CORP notability standards and should be kept. Bis310 (talk) 20:07, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You're obviously new here and have pretty bad media literacy skills if you think Talking Biz News is "media recognition" or "third-party" when it will just publish whatever someone submits or that this blurb is actually significant coverage. I'm not stupid, Intentional Travelers is very obviously promotional: If you check out Daily Drop, please consider using our referral links from this post, which allows us to earn affiliate commission at no additional cost to you. Just because the blogger (not a reliable source) presents it in detail doesn't mean it's an acceptable source here to establish notability. Tourist to Local is also just a random person's blog without editors and also says "Disclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links. Please see our Disclosure Policy for details". Get real journalists to cover your site in unbiased edited newspapers and then maybe an article could be appropriate. Reywas92^Talk 14:52, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:NCORP; the sources do not meet WP:ORGCRIT. This page is basically WP:ADMASQ. To address briefly the sources raised by Bis310's LLM-generated response, Forbes is a trivial mention, Biz Insider is a press release and the latter two do not mention Daily Drop. The sole "keep" !vote is entirely unconvincing. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:17, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
