→Description and history: This reads as an advertisement. There is some scant historical info padded around it that seems like an attempt to sneak the advertising by. It is not clear why this relatively recently-founded business needs a wiki page. The article doesn't tie to any other aspects/events in the community history. I don't want to be rude, but I think the page meets the criteria for removal overall.
