Keep. I believe there are enough significant, independent, and reliable sources to claim WP:SIGCOV and pass WP:NCORP (e.g. [1][2][3][4][5]). It's not a great article, but it's not even bad enough for me to want to say that it can't be worked on in the main space (i.e. to draftify). PopoDameron ⁠talk 18:05, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:

TechCrunch is not suitable for notability purposes, see Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_246#Is_TechCrunch_a_reliable_source?.
theregister.com article doesn't actually have in-depth coverage of Perplexity.ai, it's all about it's more-notable relations.
The Wall Street Journal podcast is so short it's not in-depth (at least according to the 'full transcript').
The Yahoo! Finance piece is a non-adversarial interview with the CEO.
The www.businesstoday.in source appears to contain multiple unattributed quotes from other articles on the web. This is not a reliable source.

In short, none of this is the reliable independent coverage that we're looking for. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:08, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a new article by the NYTimes [6] that I quite liked. Not currently used in the article, but even if you can't approve of any of the current sources, we should be good by WP:NEXIST. PopoDameron ⁠talk 21:18, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, this is paywalled for me. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:10, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the second and last sources cited by PopoDameron; the others look like churnalism to me, but those two should be enough for this to squeak through WP:NCORP. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 00:49, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, other than the TechCrunch one, which seemed rather thorough to me. PopoDameron ⁠talk 03:29, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with PopoDameron; seems to meet WP:SIGCOV. Marokwitz (talk) 07:51, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Obviously significant. Chris55 (talk) 21:22, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There is enough coverage on this one. 00:20, 31 January 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Royal88888 (talk • contribs)
Keep - The subject of the article is a publicly available part of the current frontier technology developments of artificial intelligence, and as such is of interest to the public, and the article's information about this AI is relevant. I came to this article today (to be here to comment) because I saw something of interest about it 'out in the world' and was curious to learn more from a balanced source; the article did not disappoint.LaEremita (talk) 09:11, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I don't love the sources identified above, but I do think that we have WP:SIRS through The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal (different story than WSJ piece given by PopoDameron), The Information, and The Register (PopoDameron's source #2). Article ought be improved, but deletion is not cleanup; we should not delete articles like this when ordinary editing can address any extant content issues. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 05:46, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
