Comment: Once you remove the company announcements (these are not reliable sources) there is virtually nothing written about the company. Fails WP:CORP. Please do not re-submit until you have independent coverage of the organisation. Flat Out (talk) 03:19, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This reads like an advertisement for the firm. Please remove external links to website home-pages for such topics that don't have Wikipedia pages. Utopes (talk / cont) 21:30, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: For a Wikipedia article to be published, it must be notable. Something is notable if it has significant coverage in several independent, reliable sources. Coverage of a topic is significant if the topic is covered in depth in the article; passing mentions and routine news stories are generally not significant. A source is independent if it is not a person or organization associated with the article subject. The sources provided are either routine news stories about the article subject (in trade publications; see WP:ORGIND) or they lack independence from the company (e.g., interviews). If you have a business relationship with this company, please note that you must declare your conflict of interest per these instructions. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:59, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
