Fails the notability guideline for companies. Created by SPA. Maybe their app Briefs has some marginal notability (and that's a big maybe), but companies don't inherit notability from their products. Best source I could find – Teratix ₵ 15:57, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

• Delete. No evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability standards, either in the cited sources or anywhere else that I found by searching. The short version of the cited sources: not even a single one of them provides substantial coverage of MartianCraft (many provide none at all) and some are not independent sources either. The longer version: the cited sources are:

1. A link to a dead web site, domain up for sale.
2. No mention of MartianCraft at all, though it does describe "Briefs", which is one of MartianCraft's products.
3. Another link to a dead web site.
4. A page on the company's own web site, announcing a business deal.
5. A web site selling one of MartianCraft's products.
6. Another page on the company's own web site, announcing another business deal.
7. No mention of MartianCraft on the cited page, and using the website's search facility failed to find any mention of MartianCraft anywhere on the site.
8. No mention of MartianCraft on the cited page, none found by searching other pages on the same web site, and the site describes itself as a "digital marketing agency".
9. A company listing site, merely giving facts such as the number of employees, the city in which the company is based, year of foundation of the business, etc.
10. ... another link to the same web page as the last one...
11. ... and yet another link to the same page again.
12. No mention of MartianCraft. The website calls itself a "business media brand", whatever that means.
13. A page with a significant mentions of Rob Rhyne, cofounder of the company, and some quotes from him. Twice it mentions in passing that he runs a business called MartianCraft; there is no other mention of it.
14. A dead link.
15. A review of the software "Briefs", which in the first sentence describes Briefs as "from MartianCraft", and makes no further mention of MartianCraft. JBW (talk) 18:38, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
