Multiple previous article instances were deleted between 2007 and 2015, though none of these reached AfD. The present instance began as a declined AfC but was moved into mainspace by the article creator. The article references are predominantly financial transaction announcements and product announcements (most recently, the two uses of the firm's June 2020 PR announcement with Vonage), both of which fall under Trivial coverage at WP:CORPDEPTH, for which DGG's comments in reviewing the declined AfC still seem appropriate. A 2012 PCWorld review of the company's slideshow product has been added since, but I don't see that or other coverage found in searches (e.g. a PCMag UK 2018 screenshot item) as sufficient to demonstrate attained notability.

- Delete undisclosed paid-for spam with no evidence of notability. GSS 💬 14:40, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, as answered to GSS on my talk page, I think this article has some solid sources outside of the PR zone. At first I thought about adding the content and information to Perion article, but I figured that Smilebox can live on its own as there are other similar articles out there.

- @ Legalife103: There is evidence off-wiki to support my claim above and I'm happy to share those details with an admin if required. GSS 💬 14:39, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to Perion Network as they acquired this company. Lack of references that meet the criteria for establishing notability means this company fails NCORP/GNG. HighKing ++ 13:12, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete I wouldnormally agree with redirection, but not with this history. Of course, anyone else could make the redirect after we remove all of this. DGG ( talk ) 19:50, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
