strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: See WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH. You need more than press reports on the funding of the company. Are they notable in WP terms? Probably not. --Tagishsimon (talk) 13:59, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
