Coverage is routine about funding. WP:CORP does not seem to be met. SmartSE ( talk) 23:57, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

- Keep meets WP:GNG and WP:NPRODUCT. The article is about the software/platform, not about the company itself, so applying WP:NCORP is a stretch. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] all articles include anaylsis and description of the Skillit platform (and are reliable sources per WP:RS, that's why on Wikipedia article, we have two lines about funding and a separate section about the platform. The article is very much expandable based on the provided references and is an encyclopedic topic in a niche industry like contruction, where software use is minimal.

- https://www.inflection-point.us/ is a random blog - not a reliable source
- Can't access but looks like routine coverage of funding
- Can't access but looks like routine coverage of funding
- Again a routine funding announcement
- Again, can't access but from the headline clearly about funding. SmartSE ( talk) 18:10, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, I disagree with the author of the article who voted keep - this subject does not meet the general notability guideline or the subject specific notability guideline set out in WP:PRODUCT. Rather, I agree with the source assessment conducted by the nominator, these sources are sheerly routine and not significant coverage at all. Routine articles about funding are not sufficient for notability. Article should be deleted. — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 08:50, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete: If this were to be a considered as a product-focused article, then the funding information should be eliminated from consideration as both irrelevant and non-independent (noting that these don't contribute to NCORP notability anyway, largely arise from press releases, and SAAS startups are basically their product). Coverage in listicles and similar minor comparisons of similar products/services doesn't demonstrate individual notability, and I can't see suitable SIGCOV of the platform on a quick BEFORE. ~ Hydronium~Hydroxide~ (Talk)~ 04:07, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
