sources are either primary sources, obscure blogs, and one techcrunch piece, which WP:RSP recommends is less useful for determining notability. lettherebedarklight, 晚安, おやすみ, ping me when replying 06:56, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: An article by a WP:SPA account who created and extensively edited this and the associated article on C2Call GmbH before being reminded of the WP:COI requirements. The article is references to a mix of download sites and PR-triggered coverage: the 2012 TechCrunch piece starting "Hey, remember FriendCaller?" and describing it as "a Skype alternative which, let’s face it, we haven’t heard much from in years" is hardly coverage demonstrating attained notability for this product and my searches are not finding better.

Delete - Lettherebedarklight is spot on and I agree fully with their analysis of the sources, including the WP:TECHCRUNCH bit. Even if Techcrunch were a good source, it's only one source and WP:GNG requires multiple reliable sources, not one questionable source. Notability has not been established and the article fails WP:GNG and WP:NSOFT. - Aoidh (talk) 02:51, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
