I don't see how this app or company is notable. 5 years since this article at HuffPost there is practically no coverage for it at independent reliable sources. Bbarmadillo (talk) 17:56, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment Sarah.k.mays has a conflict of interest regarding this page (per disclosure at the Talk page). --Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:01, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Added a recent, journalist-authored Current Magazine article to the citations. See source assessment table below. Rapanuiislander (talk) 23:14, 7 January 2021 (UTC) 

The age of existing sources should not be a consideration in the deletion of this page, see: Notability. Rapanuiislander (talk) 23:14, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't see how it meets NCORP. The sourcing to do so does not seem to exist. Possibly (talk) 02:08, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable; the references do not amount to sigcov of the company (most are about the app, and most are only passing mentions in some other context). --DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:45, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Additional sourcing is needed to meet WP:SIGCOV, but use of software in COVID contract tracing appears to meet WP:GNG Redoryxx (talk) 06:28, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You should look instead at WP:CORPDEPTH since NCORP is the appropriate guideline.  HighKing++ 22:07, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Keep Added an additional citation that meets WP:GNG. There should now be enough sources to reach WP:SIGCOV Rapanuiislander (talk) 16:00, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, references to date fail the criteria for establishing notability. Of the references listed at the article which are not PRIMARY or simple listings:
 * This in ecurrent.com is entirely based on an announcement by the company with no "Independent Content", fails WP:ORGIND
 * This from FSR is entirely based on an announcement by their business partner, therefore is not independent, fails WP:ORGIND
 * This from Hospitality Technology is practically the same article as the previous reference with the same paragraphs and quotations, fails for the same reason.
 * This from HuffPost is a PR puff piece designed to increase brand awareness and relies entirely on an interview with the founders and information provided by the company with no independent opinion/analysis, fails WP:ORGIND
 * This from TechCrunch is also a PR puff piece based entirely on an announcement with the obligatory interview with a founder, fails WP:ORGIND.
 * This from Pando is pretty good and in my opinion meets CORPDEPTH and ORGIND.
 * In summary, we appear to have a single reference but we need more than a single reference for notability and I am unable to locate any other sources that meet the criteria. As such, topic fails GNG/NCORP.  HighKing++ 22:07, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
