I am embarrassed to hear that the creator of this article has been banned as a spam sockpuppet. I take it that the spam template is a spinoff from the ban? I'm writing this because I reviewed this article for DYK, and did not spot that it was spam. To me at the time, the article read as if it were written possibly by a business student who was looking at successful businesses. I didn't spot that it was non-neutral because it contained a mention of major distribution issues, and having to drop 100 accounts. As you will see from the DYK nomination link above, It was I who added the External links section, in order to force an index box at the top. I added some links but did not change the article content. Those links are not spam (Vogue, Grazia, Evening Standard etc.), but if you are reading this and you are improving the article, please remove those external links if you think it is wrong to use respectable sources to support a wrongful article. Or if you think that that would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater, maybe remove the whole article and re-write it using the respectable sources? Cheers.
