The result was keep. NA1000 has made a strong arguments that others have agreed with and has not been rebutted. As noted, it is enough to prove the sources exist, they do not have to be used in the article (though that would be ideal). Jenks24 (talk) 14:32, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

My searches have found several links throughout the years from News and browsers but still nothing to suggest the applicable notability and nothing from the current article is also better convincing. SwisterTwister talk 07:32, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

- Delete: the only reliable source seems to be the Irish Independent and even that reads rather like a press release. I'd prefer to see some more sources. ww2censor (talk) 08:54, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
- Several of the new sources are just links to where their software is available, such as the Apple app store, Google PLay, etc, which just means their software is available, but so are many thousands of others. Reviews provided by a company employee are no better. Most of the additions appear to be by company employees who have not edited anything else except to add link to this in related articles, so they have a clear conflict of interest. Also, mention that the company are to lease a properly does not confer notability on the company itself; many non-notable companies do that. The Irish Times citation certainly adds something new. ww2censor (talk) 17:25, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

- Delete - non-notable company, fails WP:CORP. Tom29739 [talk] 21:02, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
- Keep – The topic passes WP:CORPDEPTH. Source examples include, but are not limited to those listed below. Looking beyond the article headline titles, notice how sources cover various aspects of the company, its history, etc. North America1000 23:21, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

- Comment – @Sandstein and MBisanz: Some relisting errors occurred, in which this discussion was not present in any of the AfD log pages. So, I have added this discussion to the 2016 May 29 AfD log page. As such, this discussion should be considered as having only been relisted once at this time.

- Keep -- the article is notable enough. See WP:ORG. ☞Henry☜ 18:32, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comment -The Keep votes comment that this is apparently notable enough but the article gives nothing else better convincing so we cannot keep this simply because it's apparently notable if there's nothing actually better to emphasize. SwisterTwister talk 23:24, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

- Keep per the sources found by Northamerica1000 (talk · contribs). The articles in The Irish Times, the Irish Independent, the Irish Examiner, and the Evening Echo all provide significant coverage of the subject, allowing it to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. Cunard (talk) 05:16, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep: Maybe at the time that this AFD started there were not sufficient sources, but by now it is clear that there is in-depth coverage by multiple reliable sources. The company has significant impact, it's not just a flash-in-the-pan fly-by-night operation and so we have enough notability and verifiability for a stable article. --Slashme (talk) 21:06, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
