Sportsnac

Sports analysis company that does not satisfy corporate notability. Naïve Google search shows that it advertises using social media. That isn't secondary coverage.

A review of the sources shows that they are either press releases, or are about the video analysis of sport using their software.

class="wikitable" ! Number !! Reference !! Remarks !! Independent !! Significant !! Reliable !! Secondary
1	El Pais	Promotional interview with founder	No	Yes		No
2	La Provincia	Interview with founder	No			No
3	Marca.com	Article about the use of video analysis including by Nacsport	Yes	No, passing mention of Nacsport	Yes	No
4	Basketball.ca	404-compliant
5	RugbyLeague.com	Announcement that they are using Nacsport software	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
6	TelegraphandArgus.com	Story about using Nacsport software	Yes	No, passing mention of Nacsport	Yes	No
7	RFEH.es	Another story about video analysis of hockey	Yes	No, passing mention of Nacsport	Yes	No

The conclusion is that the software probably passes software notability, but this isn't written as an article about the software. This is written as an article about a non-notable company that has developed a product that may be notable.

This article was created in article space, and was moved to draft space by User:Celestina007. It was then moved back to article space by its originator within less than an hour, stating that the suggested edits were made (mostly removal of unverified material). The article is tagged as conflict of interest; the author has acknowledged a previous paid relationship, but denies being a paid editor at this time.

• Delete. Fails WP:ORGSIG. I rescued source 4, and while it mentions Nacsport as being a leader in sports video analysis, Canada Basketball declares it has a buyer-seller relationship with Nacsport and therefore the piece cannot be considered independent. Concur with nom's source review. Pilaz (talk) 16:21, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Note from writer - Hi, I'm the writer of this article. Thanks to {{u|Robert McClenon}} for this. It is, without a doubt, the most helpful feedback I have received since I started the process of trying to get an article published on Wikipedia. I started this with the best of intentions and almost gave up. The process for publishing articles is extremely laborious and not one of the moderators who rejected my draft or moved it into the draftspace have given me good advice on why this is the case (save for a couple of emails offering to publish it for me for payment)!

From this feedback from Robert, I can now deduce that my error was writing about the company and not the software. Also, I think I more or less understand what has been said about the references. So, thank you again, {{u|Robert McClenon}}. Finally, I have a way forward. I think the software is definitely notable (although in a fairly small niche) as it is used by professional sports teams around the world and is one of the big three sports video analysis software on the market.

So, if someone one this chat could help me and answer a question, I would be eternally grateful. Is it better to have this page deleted and start completely afresh with the rewrite (focusing on the software), or should I simply edit the page that is currently published?DuncRitchie 15:51, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

• Speedy delete. It appears the author has created a new page Nacsport Video Analysis Software and agreed that this one fails to meet the notability criteria for organisations. Vanteloop (talk) 19:19, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

• Delete although this is a very interesting business, can’t find anything that suggests notability --Devokewater ^(talk) 17:30, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
