A product that wound up never actually existing, and does not appear to pass the WP:GNG. While it had a flurry of news coverage when the crowdfunding campaign was announced, this dried up immediately after and thus there was no WP:SUSTAINED coverage. Pretty much the only piece of coverage I found that came after the period of the crowdfunding campaign was one confirming that the device was never completed.

Weak keep Plenty of coverage in the Smithsonian, Sydney Morning Herald, PCMag and Cnet at the time of "introduction" of the device. I suppose it's not sustained coverage, but we could build an article talking about it before it was cancelled. Oaktree b (talk) 20:35, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete All of the articles that I can find are clearly based on pre-launch company announcements. It's easy to see that because they all use the same photo. E.g. PC Magazine. I can find no independent review of the product. The is an IEEE article critical of crowd-funding for highly speculative tech using this as its example. I can see why the company PR appeared in so many magazines - it's about DOGS and their thoughts. But all I can learn is that the company used a go-fund-me to get started.

Delete I do not even remember creating this page, it having been so long ago - I was 17 - , and I agree it seems to not pass WP:GNG anymore, if it even did back then. Minor, pre-launch buzz news articles are not enough for a product that ended up not even launching and then completely disappeared from the media, in my opinion.
