Saal.ai

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable but actively self-promoting corporation. Google search shows no third-party or independent coverage, only considerable promotion marked by the use of a lot of buzzwords. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:10, 27 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment – It isn’t clear whether Saal refers to the company or its products. It probably doesn’t matter, because it doesn’t satisfy corporate notability, software notability, or product notability.  Most of the puffery has been removed from this article more than once, but the following remains, which illustrates the overall tone of the article:

By using the power of NLP (Text), Computer vision (Image), Automatic Speech Recognition (Speech) and drawing inspiration from Neuroscience and Philosophy, Saal is able to accomplish any goal.

Even after a considerable effort to trim out the buzzspeak, what is left is still a sales job. There is no evidence that the company is notable, but even if it is, the article needs to be blown up.
 * Delete I made an attempt to remove most of the blatantly promotional content (and reverted to this after persistent restoration of it), but agree that there is no evidence of notability and WP:TNT is the best course of action. Melcous (talk) 00:19, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Refs don't support notability. Szzuk (talk) 19:17, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pretty clear from the language used that the 2 references provided are not independent, and so there is no evidence of notability. Layer on the COI issues and the promotional language, and Deletion is a pretty natural outcome. No ill will towards saal.ai; I wish them the best in their field and WP will be happy to have an article on the company where there is enough independent, reputable, secondary sources discussing the company; and said article is written in keeping with WP:PAID.
