Comment: Unfortunately, in this case, the sources are still only trivial business announcements, either in trade publications or similar local publications simply compiling it as local business columns of interest; because of this, it's simply not significant enough for notability.

- Comment: "Third largest vendor" is at least a claim of significance but everything else especially the listed sections are simply what they would advertise; as for sourcing, focusing only with the best major independent news is what will get this accepted, and no press releases, trivial passing mentions, interviews, funding or finances, announcements or similar. SwisterTwister talk 03:16, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Clear advertising business listing since it only focuses with what they would advertise to clients and the sources mirror this, there's no automatic inherited notability from anything or anyone and WP:Wikipedia is not a business listing applies.
