~~Leaning~~ delete There doesn't seem to be significant independent coverage in reliable sources. The article's three sources are from Smoothcomp (obviously not independent), BJJ Scandinavia, and BJJ Eastern Europe. I'm not sure if the two BJJ organizations are truly independent of each other or just branches of the IBJJF, however they both allow outside contributors to write articles and I question the editorial independence of the people who wrote those articles. The Scandinavia BJJ article consists almost entirely of a list of features, starting with "a beautiful user interface" and continuing to describe "the "business modell (sic) is very easy" and costs only "1 euro per contender" plus "payment is supported by Stripe and Paypal (that charges an amount of 2-3% per transaction)". The article also says where and how to get a support ticket and describes one feature that is fast because it is "using our unique template system". Sounds like a published press release to me. The BJJ Eastern Europe article has less information but it too sounds like a press release--like describing the "Extensive organizational skills of the team", the "Years of experience have helped shape this software into a must have" and "make this app a no brainer for every jiu jiteiro". I definitely would need to see better sources to say this had the coverage to be WP notable. Papaursa (talk) 00:42, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Struck the leaning part of my vote. I did a more extensive search for sources, admittedly in English, and still was unable to find enough coverage to convince me that WP:GNG or WP:NORG is met. Papaursa (talk) 15:02, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: Per nom and per above. No in-depth. It seems a case of WP:PROPAGANDA to me. Kacamata! ^Dimmi!!! 01:46, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
