of the sources, only 1 is useable (source 9) and even then, it is not significant coverage, it is just a press release. the article is also heavily promotional and probably should be blown up. lettherebedarklight, 晚安, おやすみ, ping me when replying 07:04, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

- Delete - Fails WP:GNG. None of the sources are independent sources that provide significant coverage (the PCWorld source is dead and I couldn't find an archived copy, but I'm assuming it was mentioning a product possibly of this company, but not the company itself). The lede says it's a startup, it's probably WP:TOOSOON to have an article, let's maybe circle back to this one once it's actually started up and established so that we have more than press releases about it. - Aoidh ( talk) 18:00, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- The article's content is predominantly that created by the article's WP:SPA creator before they stopped editing after being reminded of the WP:COI requirements, and presents the firm's focus in 2008-12. Ten more years is probably too many for it to be called a start-up any more; the firm's current website, now at www.c2call.de/, indicates that their continuing operation is as a software development company for various clients.

- That's an even stronger indication that it doesn't warrant an article if it's been that long and this is still the best we can do by way of sources. - Aoidh ( talk) 05:19, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: The article is presenting the company's proposition in 2008-12, with a focus on their FriendCaller app, whose parallel article is also at AfD, and with references which are predominantly their product announcements of that time. Crunchbase indicates that the CEO named in the article moved on in 2013, though he is still shown as CEO on their website. The company continues as a software developer for clients from whom notability can not be inherited, and searches are not finding evidence of attained notability.
