Response to draftification

Thank you for reviewing this article. I understand and respect the decision to return it to draft space.

I have declared my conflict of interest on my user page and will continue to work to ensure the article meets Wikipedia's neutrality and sourcing standards. The content is based on independent coverage including BBC News and the Alan Turing Institute report, which I believe satisfy the notability criteria for organisations under WP:GNG and WP:ORG.

I will review the tone again for any remaining promotional phrasing before resubmitting.

Follow-up after rewrite

The draft has now been fully rewritten to address previous concerns about promotional tone. Repetitive or company-sourced material was removed, and the text relies mainly on independent references (BBC, Alan Turing Institute, University of Surrey, Innovate UK, UKRI, IQ Magazine, UKTN). Sections were condensed for clarity, and all wording reviewed for neutrality.

If any editors are available to take a quick look before resubmission through AfC, feedback would be appreciated.

Response to AfC reviewer

@CNMall41: Thank you for your review and feedback. I’ve updated the draft to address the WP:THREE request by adding further independent sources intended to better address WP:CORPDEPTH. I think the strongest sources providing significant coverage are:

BBC News (2020) – national media article discussing event crowd management and use of Crowd Connected’s technology.
Pollstar (2018) – detailed feature describing the company’s operations, clients, and product development context.
MoveTheNeedle.News (2025) – independent analysis covering the company’s evolution from live event deployments to broader spatial-intelligence applications.

If these are judged insufficient under WP:CORPDEPTH, I’d appreciate any guidance on which aspects (depth, independence, or reliability) are considered lacking so I can locate stronger replacements or supplementary sources before resubmission.

@CNMall41: Just noting that I’ve added the requested links above for reference. Please let me know if any further detail or context would help with the review. –-JC-crowd (talk) 09:30, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Unfortunately, I do not see these as meeting WP:CORPDEPTH. The BBC article is not focused on the company and the section that does discuss it is made up mainly of quotes from the company. The other two do not appear to be reliable. I will leave the review to another reviewer as I would likely decline it based on notability concerns. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:37, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
