Submission declined on 24 June 2024 by Mgp28 (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Comment: Sources 12 and 15 in current draft are probably suitable for contributing to this subject's notability, although even these feel rather promotional rather than fully independent coverage of the company. The other sources are either by the company or do not contain significant coverage. This article feels rather promotional, especially the "year-by-year" section. I note that the creator of this draft has made several drafts related to this company, its spin off and people closely connected with the company. If there is a WP:Conflict of interest or the creator is being WP:PAID to edit, this must be declared. Mgp28 (talk) 12:49, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
