Comment: The sources are a mix of passing mentions, routine business reporting, representatives from the business commenting on things, and (other) primary sources, none of which contributes towards notability per WP:NCORP.I suspect the subject is inherently non-notable and I should probably be rejecting this draft outright, but let's give it one more chance in case better sources have recently become available, seeing as this draft was written some time ago.

- Comment: Is there any secondary sourcing at all that provides more than a passing mention of this company? I don't see it. Drmies (talk) 18:14, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Reviewers, please see the discussion on my Talk page. Cabrils (talk) 00:54, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:NCORP) but presently does not. As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see referencing for beginners or the article Easier Referencing for Beginners. Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements then resubmit the page and ping me and I would be happy to reassess.
