Wikipedia is not a directory or platform for advertising. The company is not notable; it has little to no coverage in independent sources. -- John Reaves 18:38, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep: [1]. Quite a bit of coverage in the book "Smart Clothes and Wearable Technology". Another paragraph in this book by a professor who specialises in the subject of smart textiles/clothing. Searching for "Scott eVest" also pulls up a number of book and magazine mentions, e.g. [2], [3], and several mentions/coverage in this brilliant titled book "Moving Wearables into the Mainstream: Taming the Borg". And that's just a small selection of the dozens of hits I found - mainly magazine reviews, articles, etc, but all those mentions in published books - academic ones no less - are very significant. Did the nominator actually carry out a basic search before nomination and declaring "little or no coverage in independent sources?"
Also - gosh, quite a bit of recent coverage in Google News. [4], and significant articles in both the The Independent and The Telegraph. And a very, very extensive article on Forbes.com. Again - was a basic search even carried out before nomination? I'm very close to arguing "Speedy Keep" as there is so much evidence for notability, but the article does need improvement.
