Thank you for the review, @Johannes Maximilian. I am a native German speaker, but must admit that I was somewhat sleep deprived when writing this. I’m happy to re-do a ce, and am rather embarrassed about that, sorry.

Regarding notability, I would say that the following are clearly establishing notability:

Big German newspaper of record:

FAZ

More FAZ, going further in depth (in a non-business publication

Non-standard business coverage:

Pitch Deck

SIGCOV for last (?) funding round

Other:

Charitable Work

International Expansion

(not included: standard announcements, such as juve)

I would argue that those (at the very least together, arguably separately) are enough to establish notability.

Would you be willing to elaborate if you disagree with this? HelixUnwinding (talk) 20:34, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

AfC notification: Draft:BRYTER has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:BRYTER. Thanks! Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 07:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I really appreciate you taking the time! If the draft is approved, I would re-do the copy edit, and would therefore appreciate a heads-up if you are planning on doing so, just so I can ensure that what leaves the draft space is of encyclopaedic quality. While I could blame the visual editor (and appreciate your comment), it’s my job to check, particularly as I have encountered that issue before when citing German sources.

Notability

I agree that Footnotes 1, 4, 5 and 6 are mostly trivial coverage, and agree with your assessment of 10.

I would argue that Fn. 2 goes beyond the standard coverage, discussing the process in an unusual degree of depth, and therefore counts towards independent significant coverage, in line with Wikipedia:SIGCOV. It is written by a business reporter (who used to work for Wired), and goes into some detail. Definitely industry news with the usual pitfalls, but I would consider it for “partial credit” at least.

Fn. 3: same as 2, but clearer in my opinion. While the coverage isn’t on an academic level, it does include a significant amount of details beyond the routine coverage exclusion for ORGTRIV (of the expansions, acquisitions, mergers, sale, or closure of the business), going instead into analytical detail beyond the usual regarding the future of the company. It also isn’t business-specific news (but of course part of the news section), which is a decent indicator for me.

I was more hesitant about Fn. 7, but after a second look, you are right, it does go beyond trivial in some cases.

Fn. 8 goes beyond the very routine coverage by discussing capital use and specific expansion plans, but the significant non-routine coverage is limited to a few paragraphs, so it won’t make or break this.

Fn. 9 discusses an expansion into the US market, and while it includes routine coverage, the “meat” of the story is the general expansion, something that (context not in source) is not that usual for German legal tech.

Fn. 11 has multiple paragraphs primarily covering Bryter, and while much of it includes the executive, the company name is used 5 Times within the article, and Grupp is covered/cited as the executive, indicating that the coverage is more about the company than about him.

In total, while it’s obviously not at the upper end of notability, I would argue that it does go way beyond what is required for and has been approved with other company articles (including one of my own, which - to be fair - was questionable enough that it probably shouldn’t have been approved).

I have taken the liberty of responding here, I hope that’s ok for you. Thank you in advance for the very thorough review, it is greatly appreciated. HelixUnwinding (talk) 08:48, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Oh, and I also found this one: [1] HelixUnwinding (talk) 08:53, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

@Johannes Maximilian, I also found this. While funding-related, it goes slightly beyond the depth where WP:ORGTRIV would be a clear issue (product use case discussion, looking into the expected shares ownership).

I‘m not sure about this one and pieces like it. While I think we already have notability, I wonder if those are citeable (perhaps as Expertsps)? HelixUnwinding (talk) 14:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello @SafariScribe, thank you for the review. Would you be willing to elaborate on which of the criteria haven’t been met? I feel like after the addition of the new sources (as seen in the teahouse discussion), it should clearly meet the notability requirement? Sincerely, HelixUnwinding (talk) 12:12, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

@HelixUnwinding, as it stands, the draft doesn't meet WP:NCORP. The coverage I can see in your draft is about the company 's financing rise, e.t.c., which are mostly data processed directly from the company, hence pure press release. And some, written in a very very promotional tone.
P.S. If you need a countdown of how the sources were accessed. I'm free to do that. Cheers! Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 04:27, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Could you elaborate on why you don’t consider Fn. 3 and Fn. 10-15 to be independent (enough)? HelixUnwinding (talk) 08:03, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
