Article appears to be an advertisement and does not meet notability standards as per WP:WEBCRIT and WP:CORPDEPTH. Additionally it relies almost exclusively on primary sources (blogs and the like) and its sole claim to award also fails to meet notability requirements.

Keep - As the main editor of this article, I did not write it as a advertisement. I am following this startup from its creation, and decided it was time for it to have its Wikipedia page when they first raised money and then went to TechStars NY. These references on TechCrunch or RudeBaguette are reliable secondary sources regarding the product and its notability for WP:CORPDEPTH. As written in the article, awards earned by the website makes it for me passe the criteria of WP:WEBCRIT. This project is also linked to the OSG.JS WebGL library maintained by the creators of the website. It doesn't seem that OSG.JS existence on Wikipedia is discussed, and I am convinced that the notability is higher for the web service than the web page. --Pannini (talk) 19:18, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have been trying as strongly & persistently as I can to remove advertisements from WP, but, like some other nominations from this editor, this is a straightforward factual article, not an advertisement. An article on the subject would be an advertisement if it was directed towards potential purchasers, giving detail only relevant to them, or if it talked about the advantages of the product, rather than just describing the main features, or if it used adjectives of praise instead of neutral terms.

Keep I share DGG's sentiments, businesses are carefully scrutinized and wiped off Wikipedia for "ads" far more than they should be, this article seems to be straight forward and encyclopedic. It should remain. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 00:05, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
