This would not be acceptable in its present state.
- It's too promotional. "highly influential... recognized worldwide... most innovative... top level... High profile... " That is PR-speak, and those glowing adjectives are "peacock terms" - unsupported adjectives of praise. That is not what an encyclopedia is for: Wikipedia requires a neutral point of view - no opinions, no glowing adjectives, just plain facts, cited to reliable sources. An article that seems to be trying to sell its subject will not be accepted. It should not be the story the company wants to tell the world, but an outside view, the things a general encyclopedia reader might want to know
- It needs references to reliable sources, for two reasons: the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy that "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source", and the Wikipedia:Notability test for inclusion, which looks for references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Wikipedia:Notability (summary).

Conflict of interest?
[edit]If you are connected with or employed by Sang Bleu, you should read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. You will see that you should not edit directly about the company, but may submit a draft for review, and that you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use ("Paid contributions without disclosure" under section 4), and in some jurisdictions by laws against covert advertising, to disclose your interest in any edits where you have a COI.

- I have no problem unblocking you if you choose a new username, however this current username goes against guidelines since it's the same handle that the business goes by on social media. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 03:20, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
