The article is about a company that lacks depth of coverage and reliability of sourcing that is required to establish notability. The sources presented are either press releases or closely authored, broadly about the topic of workforce management without mentioning the company/product or just contain "workforce software" as phrase, again without being about the company. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 12:12, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

- Keep meets WP:GNG, has in-depth coverage. Gritmem (talk) 20:45, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Gritmem: Sourcing is essentially a melange of press-releases or entirely unrelated sources. There is not much "out there" that I could find that would establish WP:CORPDEPTH. Of course, if there are further sources, they may be useful to be considered.pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 03:18, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- It has been cited in several magazines and journals such as[1], [2], [3], [4], [5] and more if you search using their tools' names or website url. Gritmem (talk) 08:28, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". Also, "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. The references you've included above are either directory-like entries for the company (and relying on information provided by the company) or mentions-in-passing with the company name included as a company that provides workforce solutions. None of those references meet the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 12:08, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

- Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content. The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". Also, "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. While some of the references appear to include "in-depth content", this content is not "independent content". The topic therefore fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 12:08, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Sir, can you please check for its products as well? There are many links likeCrains Detroit Business where it has been reported. The books which cites this company are also independent. Gritmem (talk) 16:27, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- It would be much easier to create an article about a product of this company (assuming there are several reviews in reliable sources) with a brief note about the company. Pavlor (talk) 07:20, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- This is a good suggestion but can we trim the content and expand with product which has adequate references? Gritmem (talk) 18:40, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. I can't find any nontrivial reliable secondary independent coverage that qualifies under NCORP. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 17:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
