startup. fails WP:NCORP. scope_creep^Talk 14:52, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No real reason to believe that this start up will be notable. Needs sustained coverage by reliable sources. Esolo5002 (talk) 15:15, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As the CEO of Waze for 12 years, from soon after its founding through its acquisition by Google, Post.news founder Noam Bardin has a great deal of credibility as a startup executive.

Although Mastodon is getting more buzz as a replacement for Twitter, a lot of journalists are switching to Post instead, on grounds that the decentralized nature of Mastodon makes it complicated, and likely to remain more a hobbyist site.

Additionally, I think a wait-and-see approach to its success is more appropriate than a deletion.

He's currently redlinked. Jclemens (talk) 03:09, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Too soon, next to no coverage in reliable sources. This outfit was founded two weeks ago, wikipedia isn't here to list every new startup. We aren't here to park your article to wait and see, you're notable, or you're not. This isn't linked in. Oaktree b (talk) 20:55, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete without prejudice against possible recreation if the relevant standard is eventually met. We're not a directory of products still in beta. XOR'easter (talk) 22:04, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: WP:TOOSOON. It does not seem to pass WP:NCORP yet. MarioGom (talk) 23:01, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete TOOSOON, and the whole point of this is promotional. Suggest SNOW deleting this, as it is borderline A7 and not inappropriate enough in tone for G11, IMHO. Jclemens (talk) 03:09, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TOOSOON. No prejudice against re-creation if coverage of the subject eventually satisfies WP:GNG and/or WP:NCORP. It presently fails those standards. Sal2100 (talk) 21:35, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not notable enough at this time. Accesscrawl (talk) 23:21, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TOOSOON. Talk about anticipating the "next big thing". Still in a closed beta, still waiting lists for signup, still waiting for in-depth significant sourcing. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:06, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Per WP:TOOSOON. Being created by someone who founded a notable company does not automatically make everything done by that person notable. It may become notable, it may not. But right now, notability has not been established for this article's subject. - Aoidh (talk) 05:55, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
