This is not an UPE and I (Ricecakes55) am not connected to this company is any way. I do agree that additional information would help this article. 10:57, 12 October 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ricecakes55 (talk • contribs)

 * Keep: I don't see why there was a deletion discussion for this article, as there are more reliable sources when one conducts a quick search, including articles from ArsTechnica, TechCrunch, Inc., Boston Globe, Reuters, Financial Times, and others. https://www.wired.com/story/whoop-4-fitness-tracker-wearable-apparel/ https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/09/08/business/inside-rise-whoop-bostons-fitness-wearable-tech-giant/ https://www.reuters.com/technology/fitness-tracker-firm-whoop-valued-36-bln-after-softbank-led-funding-2021-08-30/ https://www.ft.com/content/f3dde553-0aa1-4137-bc50-093b1003fa71 They should be added to have the deletion tag closed. The only thing here is to refrain from the article sounding promotional given the nature of the coverage. Multi7001 (talk) 14:45, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: This company's media coverage is quite notable, and I'm working right now to provide additional language and links right now. In the meantime, here are a few news articles: https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/outdoor-activity/sports-equipment-accessories/whoop-strap-review-band-tracker-b1830575.html; https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/08/technology/batteries-new-technology.html; https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-28/whoop-valued-at-1-2-billion-with-ivp-softbank-manning-backing; https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/rio-2016/2016/07/29/wearable-apps-whoop-olympic-athletes-train/87698488/; https://www.ft.com/content/f3dde553-0aa1-4137-bc50-093b1003fa71; https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/09/08/business/inside-rise-whoop-bostons-fitness-wearable-tech-giant/; https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/09/whoops-latest-subscription-wearable-for-serious-athletes-launches-today/. (F.Y.I., I believe the question I posted in Teahouse a few hours ago prompted someone else to create the article.) FishAndChips36 (talk) 17:04, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a highly notable company - it's basically the world-leader in wrist-mounted fitness wearable tech. Iskandar323 (talk) 21:16, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
