I PRODed with "No independent sources for GNG. Mostly promotion". The creator did not remove the PROD, but essentially contested it, so as a courtesy making this an AfD. I think now it is "no independent reliable sources for GNG". Not much sources seem to be there for NWEB Galobtter (pingó mió) 16:13, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I like to have a MetaShare presence at Wikipedia is to present a better picture of what cloud computing services and collaborative softwares available on the market. All the MetaShare's competitors are already at Wikipedia such as Dropbox, Google Drive etc. I tried to write the article fact-based without what can be considered as promotion according to Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION. Galobtter is right there are not much sources for MetaShare on the web (yet). This is because MetaShare previously only was sold locally on the Swedish market under a different name. This is a first version of the article, but I (and hopefully the Wikipedia community) intend to improve it and its sources continuously.--Epicurus One (talk) 10:45, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Essentially, it has to be notable. That requires sources. Google drive has many sources (being quite popular and so covered in various tech website and in the news). If you can find swedish sources good, but it may be WP:TOOSOON to have an article on it - until it has more coverage. Those competitors have significantly more coverage and so have articles.
