{{AFC comment|1=Theroadislong (talk), but not everything that is notable has a Wikipedia article. The SFA awards are supported by the Irish Prime Minister and there's a significant coverage that can be found on Google news from various Irish media outlets, including the reputable [https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2022/0414/1292291-sfa-awards/ RTE].

{{AFC comment|1=A notable award here, would be one that had a Wikipedia article. Theroadislong (talk) 17:24, 15 October 2024 (UTC)}}
{{AFC comment|1=Theroadislong (talk), thank you for the review.
There were only three awards listed. I didn't include any paid competitions. These awards are notable enough in Ireland. I included references for every award from independent sources - none of them were covered by the company itself.
For the 2010 award, OnePageCRM was assessed against other Irish startups founded in 2010, including Storyful.
The 2023 award was backed up by the Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach).
The 2018 award might not be that notable, you're right, but it was covered by Galway University, an independent source. That's why I included it. I've just removed the 2018 award from the article.
I'm happy to make any other edits if you could let me know what sticks out. I'd be grateful for your guidance.

{{AFC comment|1=This reads exactly like an employee has written it to tell us everything that the company does, we need to know what people unconnected with the company have said. Theroadislong (talk) 16:58, 15 October 2024 (UTC)}}
{{AFC comment|1=To prove notability, I edited the draft to add extra references, including:
1) reference 9 - a podcast with The Guardian (OnePageCRM's part starts at 16:20)
2) reference 4 focuses only on OnePageCRM (published by The Times)
3) reference 8 is another article that covers only OnePageCRM in The Times
4) reference 23 is another Times article that mentions several companies but has a section dedicated exclusively to OnePageCRM at the end of the article
I also included references from other independent media in Ireland: The Irish Examiner (reference 12), Silicon Republic (reference 15), and Business Post (reference 16).
Please note that reference 30 includes a Forbes Advisor article that is written by Forbes Advisor staff (no external contributors). There are also no affiliate links in this article.
