Suggestions

[edit]
  • Pronunciation helps need to follow Wikipedia:IPA for English (e.g., Nephi)
  • See Template:Infobox Company for what goes inside the infobox for each field
  • The lead (or introductory paragraph) should summarize the body of the article. No citations are needed except for controversial facts. The information should be presented again with a citation in the body. Review WP:LEAD.
  • Image use on wikipedia can get complicated, but basically you can't upload an image (especially non-free images, like logos) unless it can be associated with a bona fide article; so, wait until you're ready to create the article again before uploading non-free images.
  • Include a Competitors section and any other applicable sections (controversies, etc.) that would help ensure a neutral point of view for the article
  • Biggest concern: citations. All citations are currently from Rideau, which will not fly. Only notable organizations get articles on Wikipedia. I think Rideau could qualify, but you have to establish that by using third-party, reliable sources--some from Rideau are okay, but not all. You will also need to format the citations properly. See the refs in American Leak Detection, a short business article I helped another editor salvage from deletion. The entire History section is supported by one citation, which is just a link to the Rideau home page--you have to link directly to the source. You may also review WP:SPAMMER.
