Nothing much on the page appears to show notability - it was a company acquired by Blackberry more than a decade ago which has re-emerged as a company without a product. It wasn't notable before, it isn't notable now. JMWt (talk) 10:22, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Reference 1 might be okay, but I can't access it. Everything else is either not about the product or routine listings. And the "features" section runs afoul of WP:PROMO so I think we're better off without the article. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:00, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This article has sufficient notability to meet Wikipedia’s standards. LiveProfile's historical and business significance is well-documented by authoritative, reliable and independent sources such as Bloomberg, The Verge, GigaOM, CNET, The Globe and Mail, Etc. Funding by top tier venture capitalists as well as acquisition by BlackBerry Ltd, a major publicly traded company, further underscores its notability. This strategic move by a prominent company highlights LiveProfile's value and relevance. LiveProfile also released a new app this year which further contributes to it’s continuing notability.

Comment I reverted an edit by User:Trackbot6578 of Pjk12's post above. I have no idea what is going on, but we don't edit other people's AfD comments in that way. JMWt (talk) 13:51, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Deletion isn’t warranted here. I personally don’t consider an app with millions of users to not be notable but there’s also plenty of independent and scholarly sources which reference LiveProfile’s notabilityTrackbot6578 (talk) 18:52, 26 October 2023 (UTC)— Trackbot6578 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete. I also cannot access ref 1, but agree with WeirdNAnnoyed that there appears to be no non-routine coverage of the product. I can't find any additional RS. !keep arguments appear to misunderstand notability – notability on Wikipedia is not synonymous with "worthy of note". While it is true that there are reliable sources with coverage of the product I see none of it that passes WP:CORPDEPTH. Tollens (talk) 08:49, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. Some of the content should be merged into BlackBerry Limited or BlackBerry Messenger. Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 21:37, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Article fails to meet WP:GNG, WP:NSOFT, or WP:PRODUCT. Assuming the Bloomberg reference (which I can only partially access) isn't just the series of quotes from an interview as it appears, it would perhaps contribute to notability if it were not the only source of its kind I could find, especially if there were sources that shows that this App Store metric wasn't just a blip in coverage. Articles require multiple reliable sources showing notability, and a single (possible) reliable source isn't sufficient. - Aoidh (talk) 00:28, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
