Advert, notability, independent sources, ...

So {{advert}} was removed recently although I still think the tag is justified. Actually, I'm a little surprised this cleared AfC in its present state and it might be put up for deletion if it can't be improved. The sources either aren't independent or don't use their independence; they just regurgitate what the company says about itself. There is a lot of puff about the company's mission, aims, priorities, etc. The product section, oddly attributed to Tourism For All even though their "article" consists almost entirely of quotes from the company founder, is somewhere between a users manual and a list of selling points, both of which belong on the product website, not Wikipedia. Carrie-Ann Lightley's "review", apparently quoted in its entirety, is flat and leaves me unconvinced she even used the app. What is the significance of being a Go-On-Gold founding partner, (other than that it means Go-on-Gold hasn't been around long enough to do much other than maintain its list of partners)?

Conspicuously absent is:

• What's the funding model? The app has ongoing expenses (monitoring abuse, etc.), but no visible source of revenue. Is it funded by a charitable foundation? Or do they run ads? Or sell users' profile info? The privacy policy on their website leaves a lot of options open, so I wonder why they're afraid to say which ones they use.
• What do actual users use it for? There's a lot of (redundant) text about what the developers suggested uses, but nothing about whether real users do that. If there isn't independent coverage of "in-the-wild" usage, then it probably isn't notable enough for an encyclopedia article. Kilopi (talk) 05:51, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 21 March 2015

Point 1: The said app is not available on Apple's app store as suggested in the article

Link provided in article: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id510588088?mt=8

website: mifinderapp.com forwards to mifinder.co

again the link to download the app does not exist

Point 2: All information on all articles referenced are submitted/written by the Mifinder team itself and do not portray the views of the respected sites. (other then a couple of quotes)

conclusion this is a lame attempt to promote an app the does not exist anymore and should be put up for deletion
