Found this from a COI edit request. It's a promotional article and I cannot find sources that prove notability. 🄻os🄰 13:59, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

- Delete Listed sources are all not WP:ORGIND, published by the company. Searches of google and gnews turn up no WP:SIGCOV - the company likely fails both WP:GNG and WP:NORG Bungle491 (talk) 16:39, 14 August 2026 (UTC)
- Comment (COI disclosure: I work for Appcircle and have disclosed my paid connection on my user page and the article talk page. I am not casting a !vote.)
In response to the comment that searches turned up no significant coverage: those searches would have been in English, and what independent coverage exists is in Turkish. Per WP:NONENG I am listing it here for uninvolved editors to assess rather than adding it to the article myself.
- Webrazzi, 10 September 2020 – launch coverage including the publication's own positioning of the platform against Bitrise, Codemagic and App Center, plus development timeline, team size and beta figures.
- Webrazzi, 17 April 2014 – an editorial review of Smartface App Studio, the product this article was originally about before the page was moved to "Appcircle" in August 2024.
For completeness: a 2023 CEO appointment was carried by several Turkish outlets (Webrazzi, Capital and others), but the text is substantially identical across them and appears to derive from a single company announcement, so I don't think it counts under WP:ORGIND. I mention it only so it isn't mistaken for independent coverage.
That leaves two pieces from a single outlet. I am not asserting this satisfies WP:NCORP — only that it exists and does not appear to have been part of the assessment.
If consensus is that the sourcing falls short, would draftification be a reasonable alternative to deletion? That would preserve the page history, including the period when the article was titled "Smartface", and allow the topic to be revisited if independent coverage develops.
