Comment: For companies, basically any source which when boiled down is reporting "company X has [insert financial transaction] with company Y" is - 9 times out of 10 - classified by Wikipedia as a routine announcement expected of such entities and thus is not considered when establishing that the article warrants inclusion. Phraseology such as "The company strategically invests
" and the like are also non-neutral which is not acceptable. Please try to find 3 high-quality sources that focus specifically on giving analysis and commentary on Tiny as an organization. —Sirdog (talk) 07:39, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
