Non-notable company sourced by local articles based on press releases . This too is a press release. Recently accepted from AfC, like so many press releases. DGG ( talk ) 21:02, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
- Delete without prejudice to a well-sourced version being written if sources can be found that demonstrate notability. I've commented on the existing references on the article talk page. There is a hint that we should be able to find enough references to demonstrate notability, but even the original author, who used WP:AFC presumably due to a WP:COI, didn't put them in. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:58, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

- Delete: This article sits somewhere between being about a company and about its product. There is minimal coverage as a company (mention in lists of start-ups); there is a bit more coverage of their software product, tending to new products coverage, but still too little to amount to in-depth :WP:RS coverage.

- Do Not Delete: I am the author of Doc Halo and I don't understand why it is being considered for deletion. I have provided several non-press release references and will be adding more now that the company is growing. I don't see why it matters if it is local coverage or not. Besides it is only a matter of time before bigger media outlets start talking about Doc Halo. Secure texting applications are becoming more popular every day and should be worth mentioning. For example, TigerText, which is similar to Doc Halo, has it's own Wikipedia page. And TigerText is using at least 2 press releases for references and is even using their own company as a reference. That doesn't seem fair and I think you all are being a little harsh on Doc Halo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 25.35 (talk • contribs) 15:42, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
