- Delete. Lots of hype, not lots of independent, significant coverage in reliable sources. WP:CORPDEPTH? No.
:Existing references:
:*These shoes were meant for calling mentions Boltt only briefly.
:*The Wareable article is an interview.
:*The Sports Illustrated article provided coverage, but this was before Boltt had even created anything for sale ("Boltt plans to launch its products on pre-sale through Kickstarter soon")
:Their web site says Boltt has been featured in a number of places, including CNN, Forbes, INDIATV and more. However, they provide no links. I looked and found:
:*NDTV announced launch of a Boltt smartwatch at https://gadgets.ndtv.com/wearables/news/fire-boltt-talk-smartwatch-price-in-india-rs-4499-launch-specifications-features-flipkart-2458385
:*techradar had something similar at https://www.techradar.com/news/fire-boltt-talk-price-in-india-specs-availability
:*CNN apparently did an interview years ago, but I only found what appear to be copyright violating versions, and not on CNN's site. In any case, it's just an interview.
:*Forbes' Personal Shopper section talked about Boltt in 2016 - before the company had any products. See https://www.forbes.com/sites/freddiedawson/2016/11/25/boltt-says-it-will-beat-your-personal-trainer-on-price-and-performance/?sh=27a9262c113c
:As an aside, most of the article is pure advertising, with claims not supported by the citations. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 22:54, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
