Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Squiz (3rd nomination), the parent company has been deleted. Main reason for deletion of this article is that since the parent company is not notable, a subsidiary is likely not notable as well.

A redirect to Comparison of enterprise search software is preferable per WP:ATD-R and WP:PRESERVE.

Notability

WP:NCORP should be applied here instead of WP:GNG as the subject is a corporation.

Current sourcing in the article relies on wp:primary sources that cannot be used to meet WP:NCORP. Before searches with query string "Funnelback" -wikipedia do not turn up sources that can satisfy WP:ORGCRIT. Specifically, wp:reliable sources (many news result with a WordPress favicon) found fail wp:independent or WP:CORPDEPTH.

Other issues

The article describes both the company itself and a product of the company, but not in a clear way, so a cleanup may be required if kept.

There are some WP:COI editing as evident by the article history. The article may be promotional as a result. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 03:28, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
