This article is essentially all press releases, with no particular claim to notability and a promotional flare its up here for the axe or a rewrite based on community consensus. TomStar81 (Talk) 10:59, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

• Support - fails Wikipedia:CORP. Additionally, for what its worth, it was created by an editor just banned for undisclosed paid editing (see User_talk:Johnmoor#January_2015) and the article's poor quality reflects that promotional basis. Jytdog (talk) 13:14, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
• Delete per both of the above editor's reasons. --Gaff (talk) 21:29, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

• Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. After searching for sources on Google and reviewing the sources in the article (reproduced above), I have been unable to find reliable sources that would allow VentureDNA to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. The sources primarily are press releases or passing mentions. Cunard (talk) 00:24, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
