- Keep This plainly meets WP:GNG / WP:NCORP via significant, independent, non‐routine coverage that goes well beyond trade press. The subject (the B2B tech arm formerly known as Parimatch Tech, now GR8 Tech) has been the focus of many media, with a here for instance Forbes Ukraine with an in-depth analysis of its scale, client mix, rebrand, headcount (~1,500), and revenue shock after Ukrainian sanctions on its parent company; that article alone satisfies WP:CORPDEPTH and is neither trivial nor routine. [1] Forbes. Coverage is not limited to industry trades: The Economic Times reported the suspension of operations, sanctions and an alleged illegal activity [2]. Here is the detailed editorial Vector media article dedicated to Gr8 Tech and all perturbagtions with indudstrial analysis [3]. Here is another good coverage from the tech media talking about closing, sanctions, activity in CIS.. [4]. Here is a big read from editorial Forbes team about Gr8 Tech on how they managed to rebrand and survive in recent years [5]. More and more are available under Parimatch Tech+Gr8 Tech online search [6], [7], [8]. Jungle archer (talk) 17:30, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

- Comment I maintain that this article should be strong delete. The arguments for keep it come from the editor sockpuppetry.--AlanRider78 (talk) 14:13, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Sources are a mix of WP:TRADES, press releases and WP:ORGTRIV. I don't see any coverage in WP:SIRS that meets WP:CORPDEPTH, resulting in a failure on WP:NCORP. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:27, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: It pains me to relist this for a third time, however the arguments from the nominator nor the article creator are particularity convincing.

- Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. The sources listed by the Keep !voter above rely entirely on information provided by the company or in interview with a company exec, therefore fails ORGIND. HighKing++ 17:20, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:CORP. Google news comes up with the non-independent gaming press. LibStar (talk) 07:30, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
