• Comment: The newly added sources do not contribute towards notability. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 02:46, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: Kindly do not delete the AFC logging information at the top of the draft. Where it says "do not remove this line", that means you do not delete that line. ChrysGalley (talk) 18:55, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: What is needed here is corporate depth as defined by WP:NCORP. This limits the ability of trade publications to provide that depth, we would need sources that delve deeply into the company and which are genuinely independent. Around half the sources are internal to the company. This comes across as what the company would like us to know, rather than being a genuinely independent article from an encyclopedia.

The company develops textile computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing software for design and production workflows in weaving, knitting, textile printing, colour separation, mapping and draping.^[1][2]

The Pointcarré software was created in 1985 by French textile artist Olivier Masson.
