The article makes no clear assertion of notability. All it says is that it's a software web service, and cites a couple of industry websites that copied and pasted their press releases. Slashme (talk) 17:22, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as I encountered this earlier, clearly too soon and by far nothing for the needed substance. SwisterTwister talk 19:01, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Tech City startup Crozdesk launches web app discovery toolkit". Tech City News. Retrieved 2016-05-23. Starts with "Tech city startup Crozdesk"; published on Tech City news. I guess this is not an independent source.
"Crozdesk leaves beta to provide a handy tool for finding quality web apps | Webrazzi - Tech startup news from Europe, Middle East and North Africa". Webrazzi. 2015-06-12. Retrieved 2016-07-19. Webrazzi seems to be a pure promotion platform. All their articles are uniformly positive as far as I can tell.
"Worldwide Business with kathy ireland Highlights The Innovative Approach To Software Evaluation By Crozdesk". www.businesswire.com. Business Wire. Retrieved 2016-05-23. "Tune in to see Crozdesk on Fox Business Network as sponsored programming on October 11, 2015 at 5:30pm ET and on Bloomberg International as sponsored programming at 8:30am CET and 10:30am CDT." "Sponsored programming" = advertisement.
"Was der Brexit für die europäische Gründerszene bedeutet". Retrieved 2016-07-19. Here the founder is briefly quoted saying that Brexit will make it difficult to find international teams, and that he started Crozdesk with a team of six nationalities. This says nothing about the notability of the company, and using it to support the statement that the founder is regularly quoted on the subject of Brexit is a bit of a stretch.
Feil, Frank (2016-06-28). "Welchen Folgen hat der Brexit für Startups?" (in German). Retrieved 2016-07-19. Again, briefly quoted as an example of startup founders who are concerned about Brexit.
"Crozdesk announces partnership with Softonic to help millions of businesses find the right software". Tech City News. Retrieved 2016-07-06. And again Tech City News, this time just a press release, so worthwhile for finding facts, but self-published, so doesn't work to confirm notability.
