proposed draft

History MERRITHEW™ was Co-founded by Lindsay and Moira Merrithew over 25 years ago. The husband-and-wife team grew from a Reformer in their studio apartment to an international fitness company. Lindsay is a five-time recipient of Profit Magazine’s 100 Fastest-Growing Companies Award. Lindsay Merrithew is also an executive producer and an actor. Moira Merrithew began her career as a principal ballet dancer. Together they developed their premier brand STOTT PILATES®, along with the collaboration of physical therapists, and other fitness professionals and sports medicine specialists. MERRITHEW has also moved into new programs including Total Barre™, CORE™, ZEN●GA™ and Pilates for kids. Company MERRITHEW’s Head Office and Corporate Training Center are based in Toronto, Ontario Canada. In 2013, after more than 25 years in the fitness industry the company celebrated by launching the Merrithew Mindful Movement World Tour. The tour consisted of a series of three-day symposiums spanning ten countries. The company regularly attends Mind and Body fitness tradeshows and conventions including the IDEA World Fitness Convention.

Sorry, I'm rejecting this article draft as written. The sourcing and citations need to be cleaned up: first of all, never cite Wikipedia as a source. That can lead to circular referencing, which causes many potential problems with verifying whether facts are true, since article A ends up citing article B, but article B relies on article A...it just creates more problems for editors down the road. Second, all the references to press releases must also go, as they are not considered reliable sources. As a matter of style, articles never append "™" or "®" to products. Finally, as a whole the draft has a slightly promotional tone: mentions of "awards" and "premier brands" are all red flags signalling the article is not as neutral as it should be. I highly suggest submitting this draft under the articles for creation rather than flagging it as a requested COI edit. Unfortunately, both processes can be very slow, but in my experience article for creation has many more active monitors, whereas I am one of the few requested edits patrollers remaining. Thanks for your understanding. Altamel (talk) 20:30, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
