~~Keep~~ Delete - "References not working" is not a reason for deletion. Seems to pass WP:GNG with the sources currently listed in article, *New York Times Article, *TechCrunch and *CoolMomTech. CBS527^Talk 15:14, 18 October 2019 (UTC) After seeing Hydromania's comments and reading the updated WP:ORGCRIT, I'm convinced with the exception of the NYT article, the other sources are not strong enough to support keeping the article.

I dont see significant coverage, though I cant access the NYT article. I'd like to see something more than "this site has been launched." The article itself has no significant content.Rathfelder (talk) 17:33, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The New York Times article, "Devoting Attention to a Child and a Phone, All at Once", is a 500+ word article about the RedRover App. There appears to be more than enough information in the references to expand the article. CBS527^Talk 23:49, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. After looking for sources I've found: NYTimes, TechCrunch, Digiday, and a few mentions at CoolMomTech, the latest here.

The NYT article and-to a lesser extent-the techcrunch article are reliable sources and count toward N. GNG/SIGCOV doesn't specify an exact number of sources necessary to pass so these two, plus the less notable Digiday and CoolMomTech sources (which seem to be closer to blogs?) might work. However WP:ORGCRIT pretty much means "apply GNG extra strictly", requiring a stronger level of independence in the sourcing (specifically calling out blogs) and in the depth of coverage (note that the newest source we have is from 2013, the rest are from 2011). That and the fact it's an out of date stub (note that according to CoolMomTech the app has significantly changed direction) tip me into Delete. Hydromania (talk) 06:22, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

oh, and the creator most definitely had a COI. see Special:Contributions/Blipus. Hydromania (talk) 06:33, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
