Kj cheetham - Bit surprised by this. There has been a huge litany of mainstream coverage of Colossal. I'm not sure all the coverage is warranted, but fact is that it exists. I think this page would easily survive AfD. Could we remove the tag? NickCT (talk) 17:01, 19 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, my initial concern was all the coverage I saw seemed to be around 13-17th September about the company funding and launch, which seemed like a WP:NEWSEVENT rather than significant coverage of the (very new) company itself, so could have been a case of WP:TOOSOON. Can you point to some independant significant coverage since then? I wouldn't object if someone removed the tag though, as probably does still meet WP:GNG. -Kj cheetham (talk) 17:54, 19 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Kj cheetham: - Yeah, I get your point. And hey, you might be right. Maybe they fail and never get anymore coverage.

If I were to make a counter-point, it would be that even though this business only came in to being recently, the set of people behind the business and their effort has been noted for several years. See this for example. NickCT (talk) 17:12, 22 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

There is an element of WP:CRYSTALBALL. It's very possible some of the people behind it are notable as individual in their own right. I've not looked into that, but I did see that George Church at least already has an article. -Kj cheetham (talk) 18:26, 22 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Absolutely WP:CRYSTALBALL-y.

I wonder what mammoth tastes like. NickCT (talk) 19:56, 22 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
