• Although the article doesn't have any sourcing to speak of, that's because it's very old. I'm coming in at a Keep after finding some hits for this in books and magazines on a Google Books search. Andre🚐 01:51, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Passes GNG. The Wall Street Journal wrote about it. Here's another news source attributed to "AP Technology Writer" and also published here. I'm not sure about the usability of the rest of these, but in case they're useful, it's Mentioned in this book, andthis one and this one. It was discussed in a congressional committee hearing and a book on marketting refrom. It's listed in this index. McYeee (talk) 19:49, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Then please add the sources to the article. Most of those you have listed are paywalled or geo-locked to me, so I can't read them to add them. Nthep (talk) 14:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
