I don't think this passes WP:GNG / WP:NCORP. Source analysis: 1) no sigcov, 2) at 7 sentences, is arguably not sigcov. "a spokesperson told SpaceNews" suggests not independent, 3) lots of quotes, press release tone, site is called "disrupt africa" which is a press release buzzword, so likely not independent, 4) 2 big quotes, plus "Kallot emphasized" x2, suggesting that at least 4 paragraphs are not independent, which is a big part of the article, 5) press release tone and lots of quotes, not independent, 6) only 1 paragraph of coverage of Amini so not sigcov. –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:44, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies, Environment, and Africa. –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:44, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
• Delete, btw, it may be speedily deleted. I've analyzed the sources, and they all seem to be passing mentions with no sign of significant coverage. --BoraVoro (talk) 09:52, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

  I don't think this qualifies for WP:G11. The last sentence is promotional, but other than that the tone is acceptable. –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:56, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

• Comment Startup is an African, female founded climate technology startup, I was able to find this which seems to pass SIGCOV, and because of the company, its founder was also named one of the top 100 most influential people by Time Magazine. (Perhaps a merge for a page about Kate Kallot). If this was an American company, I don't think it would be as notable, buts its not often we see companies from Kenya getting huge funding, for a very admirable and selfless cause.

  If I voted, I would propose that Amini , appears to meet Misplaced Pages's notability guidelines for organizations and companies WP:ORG. The company has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject, such as TechCrunch, Business Insider Africa, Time magazine, SpaceNews, Forbes Africa, and Space in Africa.

  The references provided indicate that Amini has made notable contributions to addressing environmental data scarcity in Africa through innovative uses of AI and satellite technology.

  The company's substantial investment rounds and the recognition of its founder, Kate Kallot, by Time magazine as one of the top 100 most influential people further establish its notability.

  I think this article should be retained and can be improved by incorporating additional information and secondary sources. The subjects of this article are already represented. But will trust WP:CONSENSUS PD Slessor (talk) 10:56, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

  You can do a bolded keep !vote if you want. The article author can participate. Just a tip if you're going to start writing company articles: the notability requirements of WP:NCORP are much stricter than WP:NPOL, due to problems with companies buying articles (advertorials). –Novem Linguae (talk) 14:00, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

  • Keep to merge/redirect with Kate Kallot, a Kenyan woman who has notability requirements.

• Weak Delete WP:ORGTRIV meeting coverage in Wired but nowhere else Mach61 (talk) 14:54, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Actually, I would rather create a stub about Kate Kallot, as she appears to be notable, and redirect the article there — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mach61 (talk • contribs)
• Delete: It does not seem to pass WP:ORGCRIT, since RS coverage seems to be either press release copypasta or routine coverage of funding events. MarioGom (talk) 18:33, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

• Comment appreciate the perspectives shared in this discussion and understand the concerns about the notability and tone of the article. I agree that maintaining Misplaced Pages's standards is paramount, and I am committed to addressing the issues raised. While some sources may have a press release tone, there are others like TechCrunch and Business Insider Africa, and Time magazine that provide significant, independent coverage of Amini's innovative work in environmental data and AI technology in Africa. I suggest that we consider the potential value of this article in representing diverse topics on Misplaced Pages, especially from regions and sectors that may not receive as much attention. The merge or redirect with Kate Kallot's page could be a constructive way to preserve the noteworthy aspects of Amini's story while maintaining Misplaced Pages's quality standards. I look forward to working collaboratively to improve the article and ensure it meets the necessary criteria for inclusion.
