• Comment: Press releases, (most) podcasts, and routine appearances in awards listings generally don't demonstrate the WP:SIGCOV needed to establish WP:N. After dispending with these, there aren't enough WP:RS to sustain this as an article in the current form. That might be rectified with additional sourcing.

  • Comment: In addition to not meeting WP:NCORP, I see the submission was done by an IP after the OP was blocked for UPE. Editing while logged out to avoid a block is not acceptable. CNMall41 (talk) 17:50, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: None of the awards are considered significant (are not themselves subjects of Wikipedia articles), hence do not contribute to establishing Wilipedia-notability. David notMD (talk) 18:29, 22 August 2024 (UTC)


1440 is a Chicago-based media company that produces an online daily newsletter, The Daily Digest..[1][2]

History
