This is almost a speedy candidate, but it has already been recreated after a PROD once, so we should have a definitive discussion. This article is sourced only to the company's own website and their (also self written) page on spiceworks.com. I've looked in the usual places and I cannot find any in-depth coverage of this company that isn't a press release or similar. I think it fails both the

You're comment, "This article is sourced only to the company's own website and their (also self written) page on spiceworks.com" is inaccurate. Spiceworks is not a self-written page of PJ Technologes, but rather a community of independent IT professionals stating their own un-solicited reviews and opinions of Goverlan, the software product of PJ Technologies. You may have found difficulty in finding varied sources on PJ Technologies, as we are almost always referenced by our product name, "Goverlan". Our software offering is largely discussed by independent reviewers[1][2][3][4][5][6], journals[7][8][9][10], and competitor analyses[11] Thus making PJ Technologies, the creator and distributor of Goverlan, relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbergeot (talkcontribs) 16:43, 6 November 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong delete Blatant ad. The sources cited above are not sufficient to establish notability:
  1. Hassel's blog post carries the disclaimer that it is advertising
  2. TopTenReviews sells the software
  3. WindowsITPro seems to be a proper review
  4. SoftPedia sells the software
  5. Tech Target's 'review' is written by Hassel - see #1
  6. BIMmuse is a blog post
  7. InsuranceWeek: just a press release
  8. Jovenski et al. (2014) - I don't have access to SPIE Proceedings, but it does not mention Goverlan in the abstract, and there are no references (where Goverlan would be mentioned). See also below for Jovenski et al. (2013)
  9. Ismail et al. (2012) mention it in passing in their introduction as an example they found using a bibliographic search
  10. the patent mentions it in passing as an example of monitoring software
  11. Joveski et al. (2013) mention it in appendix 1 as one example of this type of software
  12. Concentrated Tech's whitepaper was commissioned by Goverlan/PJ Technologies
Only the review in WindowsITPro seems to be a reliable source - for Goverlan. That's not enough to satisfy
WP:COI, as does this earlier version of his/her userpage. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Goverlan Remote Control Software and WP:Articles for deletion/Goverlan VNC Viewer for closely related AfD discussions. Another related article by this user, WMIX Software, is currently PROD'ed.--Lemnaminor (talk) 09:42, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete- Software company article of unclear notability, lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. Per Lemnaminor, the sources provided above are not significant independent coverage, with the possible exception of the WindowsITPro review. This article is not sufficient on its own to establish notability. A search turned up no additional significant RS coverage.Dialectric (talk) 17:17, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: also note PJ Technologies, Inc., created by the same user and speedily deleted under G11 and A7 in September. This is actually the third incarnation of this page. Lemnaminor (talk) 23:13, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
