Delete: An article originated from AfC in 2014, with a rich history of reverted WP:SPA text additions in the past couple of years. Clearly this is a company going about its business and also supporting various initiatives ([2], [3], [4]) but notability is not inherited from these, nor is being the first to bundle this or that as part of the customer proposition inherently notable. My searches are finding listings and passing mentions regarding deploying OpenStack, but not the coverage of the company itself needed for WP:NCORP (happy to revise opinion if anyone identifies better sources).

Delete after six years, the only sources are two dead links to what look like press releases and the company's own website, which also shows some more press releases, but no indication that there's any significant coverage in independent, reliable sources.

Comment non-trivial coverage exists. Not sure we should rush to delete this. More research is needed. Lightburst (talk) 02:35, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure that is non-trivial coverage. It is (apparently) an unrelated company's blog about their own software which works with "a multitude of cloud storage services", and Vexxhost gets a three-sentence mention as an example of such. Dorsetonian (talk) 10:22, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Passing mentions of the company do not meet the requirements of WP:NCORP. As the article cited above notes, Vexxhost is but one of "a multitude of cloud storage services"; there does not appear to be anything remarkable or notable about it. Dorsetonian (talk) 10:35, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn't seem to be notable. Except for passing mentions. I seem to remember there being something about web-hosts in the notability guidelines. Although, I can't remember what now. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:08, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not trying to pile on, but there is nothing showing notability I can find. Tried Google News, Books, etc. and very little coverage at all let alone anything that meets WP:ORGCRIT.--CNMall41 (talk) 21:54, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
