Fails WP:CORP. Only 1 google news hit. The first source appears dead, 2nd source doesn't link to anything. 3rd source doesn't even mention this company. 4th and 5th sources are generic and don't refer to company. LibStar (talk) 22:55, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete I agree that this fails WP:CORP guidelines. I Will note that searching for the topic is difficult due to search collisions with Raspberry Pi software, and someone who knows more about the company may be able to perform a more successful search. Most information I can find comes from the company's website itself. Apparently they write ticketing ID software for railroads these days. News coverage that I found is generic business news noting investments/partnerships/mergers. Other sources are filings with the UK government.

- Delete per nom. I mainly found directory listings like this. Fails WP:NCORP. Gheus (talk) 12:36, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete as it fails WP:CORP. In general, government findings may be OK depending on the context but I don't think that really applies in this scenario. Gommeh (talk/contribs) 19:07, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete This article appears to fail Wikipedia's notability guidelines for companies (WP:CORP). The discussion indicates a significant lack of independent, reliable sources providing substantial coverage of the company. Initial searches yielded few relevant results, with much of the available information being either from the company itself, unreliable (dead links), or non-significant, such as directory listings and routine business announcements. The difficulty in finding significant coverage, even considering potential search term collisions, suggests the company does not meet the threshold for inclusion on Wikipedia. Therefore, deletion is warranted due to a lack of demonstrated notability. Aditi's Voice (talk) 08:34, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Insufficient coverage by independent, reliable secondary sources to pass WP:GNG and WP:NCORP.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 00:14, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
