I PRODed the article for the following reasons:

created by a single-purpose user
the only sources are either own references, or references from sporting events sponsored by the company (which are things companies simply pay for)
no treatment in sources that is not superficial

The article was deleted when the PROD expired.

Shortly after, yet another single-purpose account was created, and was used to request the undeletion, which was granted as per procedure.

I am therefore AFDing it. I believe Wikipedia should not be used as a marketing tool. Dr. Vogel (talk) 22:29, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nom. Also, in searching for coverage, I found only three articles that had any sort of coverage of this website: [1], [2], [3]. The first two sources are pretty niche coverage and really don't tell us much about the subject. And the third source is just run of the mill business news. I'm usually pretty liberal when it comes to defining "significant coverage" but given the issues flagged in the nom and the relative lack of coverage, I vote to delete.DocFreeman24 (talk) 00:59, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
