Julian in LA (talk · contribs) attempted to nominate this article for deletion, but wound up sending the talk page to AfD instead. Their rationale follows:

fails WP:COMPANY#Primary criteria

He previously attempted to PROD this with the same rationale, but after getting a seconding it was declined due to the article's sourcing. I offer no opinion or comment on that or anything else; I am merely procedurally nominating an article that had its talk page nominated instead. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:18, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies, Computing, and Texas. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:18, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I probably should add that Julian in LA gives further elaboration on his opinion of the sources on the talk page. (Again, I am neutral and offer no opinion of my own.) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:23, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A quick look at google scholar found an entire chapter on the company in Beginning PostgreSQL on the Cloud : Simplifying Database As a Service on Cloud Platforms (2018). And articles like this[1] about a service outage and this [2] about the company's future were already in the article. And articles like Rackspace Hires Morgan Stanley to Help Evaluate Options [3] round out the picture that this is a significant market player.
I've looked at the talk page analysis and am still puzzled as to the logic behind this nomination. I would encourage @Julian in LA to spend time participating in NCORP/NORG AfD's before attempting further nominations. Oblivy (talk) 23:47, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I was about to complain about Netherzone adding this to the deletion sorting lists of every country where the company has an office, but hey, look, they get sigcov here too [4][5][6]. So, thanks Netherzone! Toadspike [Talk] 07:40, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - article isn't perfect, but the large list of references appears to meet WP:SIGCOV. Caleb Stanford (talk) 17:49, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the article has pretty significant coverage int he references listed, I would posit , enought to meet WP:ORGCRIT and WP:GNG. that is why I objected to the PROD. a large number of the sources would technically be considered trivial, but there's some substative coverage in others. -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 21:47, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This company has tons of sources and is well known it its "space" (pun not intended). Totally passes WP:NCORP. Iljhgtn (talk) 18:49, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Meets WP:NCORP criteria based on significant coverage in secondary, independent reliable sources. Netherzone (talk) 15:02, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
