From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Please actually read the criteria required for the sources, including the bit about in-depth, and the part of that that says routine coverage such as capital raises and acquisitions do not generally count towards requirements. Alpha3031 (tc) 03:21, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: You are welcome to rewrite the article, but do not remove the AfC history as you did here. Bobby Cohn (talk) 19:48, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Hard to escape the impression that this is a promotional piece; actual notability is difficult to assess in part because of incomplete citations, and many of the citations (bare URLs) being company links. Drmies (talk) 23:40, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Thanks for your submission! I am declining this for now as the draft relies too heavily on primary sources and does not establish the subject's notability. Please click on the links above for more information, and change the sourcing to use more reliable sources instead. A couple of the links currently in § External links could be good resources. Let me know if you have any questions! (please Reply to icon mention me on reply; thanks!) TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:04, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
