Draft talk:DropDesk

Revisions Updated

Thank you for the feedback. I have submitted a significant revision to address the concerns regarding tone and notability: Tone: I have removed all promotional descriptors, including the comparison to Airbnb and the "Global" area served claim. The language is now strictly factual regarding the business model. Sourcing: I have added a 2024 citation from the Long Beach Herald to establish operational notability and government partnership, independent of the founders' previous history. Clarification: I updated the product description to "Marketplace Builder" to more accurately reflect the B2B infrastructure model, supported by the This Week In Coworking citation. Regarding the AI inquiry: As noted in my previous reply, LLM tools were used strictly for Wikicode formatting and template syntax based on facts and sources I personally provided and verified.

re: Sourcing and Authority

@TheObsidianGriffon: Thank you for the review. I have updated the draft to address the sourcing concerns by adding reliable, independent citations that establish both "significant coverage" and "industry authority" per WP:ORG.

Specific improvements include:

**Depth of Coverage:** I expanded the citations to include a 2019 feature in Long Island Business News and a 2019 analysis by Nasdaq. These are not routine announcements but independent articles detailing the company's specific business model and market positioning.
**National Media & Authority:** I added a citation from a national broadcast on **CBS News** (Sunday Morning), where DropDesk's proprietary data was featured on-screen (timestamp 2:35). Additionally, I included citations from Coworking Cafe and OfficeRnD, which cite DropDesk as an industry standard/source. This demonstrates that the subject is treated as an authority by independent third parties.
**Operational Notability:** The 2024 Long Beach Herald citation verifies the company's current government partnerships, proving sustained operation beyond the startup phase.

I believe these sources collectively meet the General Notability Guideline. GrahamABeck (talk) 13:48, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @GrahamABeck: I don't see how these sources collectively meet GNG though. I think you should spend more time getting to understand Wikipedia's definition of significant coverage. TheObsidianGriffon (talk) 19:37, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
