The result was delete. As noted by others, we need more than "perhaps" in order to establish notability. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:53, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Current article content is sourced to a wiki and a press release. I've been unable to find significant coverage in independent sources to demonstrate notability. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:33, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Not notable. Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:CORP. No significant coverage in independent reliable sources. I found coverage of other businesses named "Dentech", but none that corresponds to this company or its software. — Newslinger talk 08:57, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Do NOT Delete There are other companies around the world called Dentech or a version of the name, that should not disregard the fact that the company is a legit dental software company operating in the United State since the late 1970's. Perhaps searching Dentech dental practice management software or just dental practice management software would give better results. Spearmint210 (talk) 10:28, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps? Whoever closes this discussion should give no weight at all to somebody speculating that "perhaps" sources might be found. (You may find it helpful to read WP:MUSTBESOURCES.) If you think that searches of that kind may perhaps produce suitable sources, then why don't you perform that search and tell us if you find any suitable sources? (I have followed your suggestion, and my account of the results I found is below.) JamesBWatson (talk) 10:12, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Betsie300: Can you clarify that statement? The account Betsie300 has not edited the article. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:01, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I checked the references in the article. The first one I looked at cited its content to PRNewswire-PRWeb. The second said "At Dentech, the first priority is to build a world-class company that is dedicated to customer satisfaction, produces a fair profit and cares about its employees." ...and so it went on. There is a wiki, a YouTube video, advertising sites, and so on. I also searched for sources, including trying the search terms that Spearmint210 (the creator of the article) suggested above, but for some reason didn't do himself/herself. I found the company's own web site, LinkedIn, this Wikipedia article, advertising sites, and similar, but nothing of any value. (Typical of most of the pages I found were one on a site which says "We stay in business because software vendors pay us when they receive web traffic directly from our site" and one which says "Get your products listed on Dentalcompare today!") This article is an attempt to use Wikipedia to promote a business which does not come anywhere near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
