Five & Up Flowers

Hello, I’ve just read this article and I'm a bit concerned that the company doesn't seem to be notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article. That's a link to the guideline, but basically the issue is that there's no citations covering the company like newspapers or on reliable websites. Are there any media articles (not just listings of opening hours) like newspaper articles covering the company proving that it's notable? I just wanted to ask because the article may get deleted otherwise.

If you know that the company is notable enough to meet the guidelines you can just edit the article and add citations using the cite tool. Let me know here if you have any problems. Blythwood (talk) 21:22, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

• I came on here to state something similar. The gist of the notability guideline for companies is that all companies must have coverage in independent and reliable sources like newspaper articles that discuss the business in order to establish notability. Now while your business does exist, existing doesn't automatically grant notability on Wikipedia and the site isn't a business listing like the Yellow Pages. Most businesses don't have enough coverage to warrant an article on Wikipedia and I've deleted pages on some businesses that have made millions of dollars and are extremely successful.
