Comment: Previous concerns remain. The topic does not meet the notability guidelines linked by Broc, and most of the sourcing was to newswire pieces or press releases, which are not normally considered notable.Unfortunately, at this point the subject does not appear to be notable enough for inclusion.

- Comment: Just a comment to add on what the reviewers already mentioned. First of all, please avoid external links in the prose, see WP:EL.More importantly, please check the notability requirements for companies at WP:NCORP. I checked some of the sources you use and I couldn't find one that provides significant coverage of the company while being independent, reliable, and secondary. Company-sponsored profiles on magazines, for instance, do not count towards notability as they are not independent. Broc (talk) 09:32, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
