Highly promotional article, previously deleted. Current sourcing all appears to be unreliable - mostly articles on websites that allow 'contributions' (WP:UGC), plus one or two rehashed press releases, and passing mentions - nothing that rises to WP:CORPDEPTH. Fails NCORP. GirthSummit _(blether) 07:09, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The citations should not obscure the fact that, as the nominator correctly says, this is a highly promotional article. It is clear that the article is principally to serve the purpose of spruiking the app's features to potential users. --Mkativerata (talk) 07:41, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This app has gained a lot of notability since the last nomination. And the previuos article was mostly based on press releases etc. Currentlyit is downloaded 20,000 times a month and it is used in almost all of running events in the country. I created the article with proper sources that show this app is notable. We should remember that this app is for running so the news will only be about running events. Off handidly saying that such news coverage is not good enough is not right. It is used to host running events of 6000 users almost every week. So it passes GNG quite easily. The WP:PROMO guidelines have been followed to the letter in the article. It only informs the user and does not use any phrase to promot the software. LigonX (talk) 09:42, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LigonX - I was not being off hand when I described the sources - I actually spent quite a bit of time looking into them closely, and searching for better ones, before making the nomination. If you check the websites carefully, you will see that the articles giving significant coverage to the subject are written by 'contributors' on websites that accept articles from the public - that is a form of WP:UGC, and they are not considered reliable, or to contribute towards notability. Take a look at the section on Forbes Contributors at WP:Perennial sources for some discussion of this type of source. As a commercial product, this article needs WP:CORPDEPTH-level sourcing, not just WP:GNG, and these refs do not come close. As for the promotional phrasing - the very first sentence starts with JomRun is a top ranking... - see WP:PEACOCK, that is not how to write a neutral, encyclopedic article.

Delete, promotional and non-notable. Hughesdarren (talk) 09:53, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as likely paid-for spam. I have blocked the creator for this. MER-C 10:47, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
