Wikipedia isn't a depository for random text dumps, it's pretty obvious the text is copied since there are no wikilinks, such as Orlando, Florida or Time Warner at all. Please read the following regarding writing an article about a company. You can write promotionally about something that's defunct. If I said "Barack Obama" is the greatest president the US ever had, that's promotional even though he's not president now and never will be again.

you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. Many of your refs look like web link, but aren't linked to those pages, so we can't check that they verify what you have said. You also list each ref separately every time it's used, so it looks as if there are far more refs than there really are.
The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:

significant coverage in
independent,
multiple,
reliable,
secondary sources.

Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability. Even though you haven't linked your refs, if they reflect the content you put, they clearly aren't independent third-party sources, they are mainly company executives talking about the company they run

You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews. An encyclopaedia shouldn't have stuff like the audience burst into applause as the developers all breathed a sigh of relief. It was an exciting moment that those who worked so hard on the FSN will never forget. or Together, we pushed the envelope hard, we raised the bar high and the industry is better off because of it. For that reason, people like me, who were lucky enough to be involved in the FSN will always look back with proud memories. As I've said, we need verifiable facts,not fond reminiscences.
There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. The last version was better, but still 63% copied. Even if you are quoting wth attribution, you can't copy unlimited amounts of text

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. Also see WarnerMedia, but at least it's got wikilinks, refs that work, and facts rather than opinions Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:15, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
