The article does not seem to pass WP:NCORP yet. MarioGom (talk) 12:46, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Products, Websites, Israel, and Ukraine. MarioGom (talk) 12:46, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose. The article in its present state definitely needs improving with more independent sources, but a quick Google search shows they are out there. Seems notable enough. Buttons0603 (talk) 14:48, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- Please explicitly point to at least two of the sources that your search turned up. Don't handwave at sources in discussions. Cite them. Uncle G (talk) 19:23, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

- An article was posted today by Euronews about the application. I will be replacing links to the Twitter with that article since it confirms those dates and pieces of info. That should solve a majority of the information issues on the wiki page.

- Keep. Very notable per sources identified above. Maybe on the long run this can be merged somewhere. gidonb (talk) 12:31, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Although I understand that many sources I cited are from Ukraine Alerts twitter account, I do need to clarify that the reason I did this was to cite specific dates as apposed to information. There are many sources of information as listed by @ArsenalGhanaPartey above. So it is lost on me as to why this would be marked for deletion by @MarioGom. Please help me understand by clarifying below. I will be working on adding the France24 source listed above.
- Also note that it was spoken about on i24 as well which was cited in the article as well as Walla! BOvcharenko (talk) 02:51, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- BOvcharenko: While Twitter can be used in some cases (see WP:ABOUTSELF), it is not a reliable source, which mean it does not count towards notability. Articles about products need to meet the WP:NCORP notability guideline. The criteria are summarized in WP:ORGCRIT:
A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
This did not seem the case when I nominated the article for deletion, but sources examined during this discussion can lead to the article to be kept if they meet the cited criteria. Best, MarioGom (talk) 06:58, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. There are sources, I found a few from a quick google search. ArsenalGhanaPartey (talk) 17:36, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
